Stroller at Disneyland... How old is too old?

Starr57 · September 2011

We are planning to take DS to Disneyland for his 5th birthday in November. I want to rent a stroller for carrying stuff, but I also love that if DS gets tired, he has somewhere to sit and will potentially whine less. How weird will a tall 5 yo look in a stroller at Disney? Should I even care?

We will bring a stroller mostly for a cooler full of drinks. I think there are plenty of older kids there in strollers.

At Disney, no age is too old. Hell, I'd flake out in one if it was big enough.

This. We didn't bring one in May (DD was 5) because she hasn't used one since she was around 3 for regular use.

Ended up renting on day 3 through the rest of the trip. Everyone was MUCH happier

DD is closing in on 6 and I am bringing the double umbrella stroller again this year. Next year, I think I will bring the single and the kids can then trade off who rides in it.

Plan to use one. When I went with my niece and nephew, they were 7 and 4 and the double we rented was a godsend. At Disney, it is a norm.

I misread as Disneyworld. Disneyland is much smaller, right? Maybe not as nec. at Disneyland?

We brought our sit-n-stand and a wrap thing for me to wear DS at our last trip last November. DD#1 was 4.5 and DD#2 was almost 3. Neither ever rode in the stroller anywhere else, but both hopped on and off a bunch. DD#2 even sat in the front and dozed one day (she hasn't napped in years) while DD#1 sat on the back and I wore DS. I agree that no one is too old for a stroller at Disney unless they physically don't fit. Like one of the pp said, I'd take a ride if I could by the end of the day. It's exhausting!

I don't think it will look weird at all. I saw kids MUCH older than 5 in strollers there.

Now I'm concerned. We had a double the last time when DS was 3 and DD was 1. We were planning on taking the double for DS#2 who will be 1 and DD will be 3. We were going to have the 5 yo. walk. Now I'm wondering if we'll still need another. Thanks for asking. I wouldn't have thought of it.

I have pictures of me in a stroller at Disneyworld when I was 5.

My 6 year old will still hitch a ride when an empty seat is available.

dont think it will look weird and might be helpful to have for storage purposed too.

We are taking a stroller for Darlene in Dec. We will have our double for Cooper and the second seat will hold a cooler and diaper bag. We will then bring a smaller stroller for Darlene. She will be 5 two days after we get back.
