Top 10 Best Approved Strollers for Disney 2023 – New Rules

Yes, you really need a stroller for Disney! Not just any stroller will do, though. Here are the top 10 best strollers for Disney.

Disney is a magical place where kids can be kids. And adults can feel like kids, too! But let’s get real. A day at Disney is exhausting.

There’s actually a crazy amount of walking involved when you’re living it up at any of the Disney parks. It can tire out even the fittest adult. Imagine how tired your children will be walking an average of 7-10 miles at Disney.

It’s recommended that families have a stroller for children even up to 7 years old. That’s right, 7 years oldSo when choosing the best stroller for Disney, you’ll have to look at several factors.


This is my favorite single stroller for Disney, and honestly, all my travels when I just need a single stroller. However, this is my favorite cheap stroller for Disney if you just want something cheap and easy.

This is my all-time favorite double stroller for Disney, and the double stroller we take on all our travels and lives in the back of our van. Life with the Zoe Twin is amazing, and it is relatively cheap. This is my favorite cheap double stroller for just over $100. It gets the job done.

When deciding what stroller to use at Disney, you have tons of stroller options. You can rent a stroller from Disney directly, rent one from a third party like BabyQuip or Kingdom Strollers, or bring your own from home.

Disney is stroller friendly. It’s just important to know the rules and regulations for strollers. You’d hate to show up and be turned away because your stroller isn’t allowed into the park.

But don’t worry! We’re here to help. We did all the research for you to make this process easy. Here we’ll explain the ins and outs of the rules for strollers at Disney.

We’ve even listed some of the best strollers for Disney out there that are just perfect for any Disney adventure. In this article, we’ll go over the top five best single strollers for Disney and the top five best double strollers for Disney.

What are you waiting for? Let’s get into it.


What if you lose your stroller or it gets stolen?

My biggest tip for those bringing a stroller to Disney or just traveling with a stroller, in general, is to put this AirTag on the stroller. I put an AirTag hidden in the stroller organizer zipper part, or you could also hide it in the fabric. I use this AirTag holder. You can easily put it on the straps. They even make AirTag holders that are like bracelets for kids.

If you are like me and you always forget where you park, whether it is a car or a stroller, an AirTag will help guide you right to your stroller. We use AirTags traveling with our luggage too. It is nice to know that our bag, or our stroller, in this case, made it on the plane.

If you lose your stroller or someone accidentally takes it, you can find it with Find My on your iPhone, and it can lead you right to your stroller and play a sound from the AirTag. We now have AirTags on our keys, all of our luggage, and strollers.

Can you rent strollers at Disney?

Yes, you can rent a stroller directly from Disney. They offer single and double strollers. Conveniently located near the entrance of each park. You can show your prepaid receipt, and you’ll be strolling in no time.

Disney updated their rental strollers in 2022. Now they are red with images of Mickey and Minnie on the canopy — super cute. Consider a multi-day rental if you’re planning more than one day at Disney. It brings down the rental fee by a few bucks, which is nice.

Something to consider is that the rental strollers are functional but not very comfortable for your little one. These cute strollers are made with hard, stiff plastic, durable, and easy to clean. But it means that they don’t recline. So if your little one needs to nap, it’s practically impossible in the stroller.

The rental strollers’ plastic can also get hot in the summer sun. I suggest bringing a towel or something for kiddies to sit on so it’s not burning them.

Disney rents strollers at the main parks and Disney Springs. But they are for use only within the park. So you cannot bring it back to your hotel. Or, if you’re hitting up more than one park in a day, you’ll have to return it before leaving the one park and getting a new one at the second park. Which is super inconvenient…

Another option is to rent a stroller from a third-party vendor. Companies like BabyQuip and Kingdom Strollers specialize in renting strollers for families to use at Disney. The same dimension rules apply at the parks, but these companies have got it covered. Most will also deliver the stroller to your hotel or resort, which is super convenient.

How much does it cost to rent a stroller at Disney?

The cost of the rental depends on the size of the stroller and how many days you’ll be renting it.

To rent a stroller just for one day, a single stroller costs $15. Multi-day rental of a single stroller brings the cost down to $13 per day.

Renting a double stroller from Disney costs $31 per day. If you’re there for more than one day, you can rent a stroller for $27 per day.

How big of a stroller can you bring to Disney?

Disney permits strollers that are no larger than 31 inches wide and 52 inches long. Many strollers meet this size limit, but others do not.

It’s best to check the exact size of your stroller before you arrive at Disney. Families are often turned away because their strollers don’t meet the requirement. If this happens, you’ll lose precious park time bringing your stroller back to your car.

To reduce the stress, I’ve listed 10 of the best strollers for Disney. Including five of the best double stroller for Disney and five single strollers to use at Disney.

Can you bring wagons to Disney?

Sadly no. Wagons and stroller wagons, no matter how small, are not allowed at Disney Parks. This is part of their new regulations from 2019.

If you have a stroller wagon, I know you are super bummed. Stroller wagons are amazing, make sure to read my best stroller wagon article to find the perfect one for you but just remember you can’t use a wagon at Disney. We have the Veer Cruiser wagon but sadly couldn’t bring it in.

If you are heading to some of the best beaches near Disney World, you can rent one from BabyQuip. I know that I love bringing a stroller wagon to the beach. Wagons hold so much stuff and drive so much easier in the sand compared to a stroller.

If you are in the market for a stroller wagon, make sure to read my Veer wagon review, we love it!

What are the new Disney stroller rules?

Disney updated their stroller regulations in 2019. Only strollers with a maximum of 31 inches wide and 52 inches long are allowed in all Disney parks.

Specifically, wagons and stroller wagons are not permitted in Disney parks.

What are the Disney Stroller dimensions allowed?

Strollers cannot be wider than 31 inches or longer than 52 inches. So all you have to do is make sure that your stroller doesn’t exceed these dimensions.

You can bring your own or rent one from a third-party vendor. Either way, here are some of the best single strollers for Disney.

5 Best Double Strollers for Disney

Double strollers are great for families headed to Disney with more than one child. Even if your older child doesn’t use a stroller regularly, you should consider letting them stroll. A full day at  Disney can be exhausting for even the adults. Chances are the big kids will need a break too.

There are so many great things about the Zoe Twin. The main things that make our lives easier are that it’s lightweight compared to competitors.

We also love that our little ones each have their space in the Zoe Twin. We can recline one for a nap without disturbing the other.  That is priceless.

The Bugaboo Donkey is a high-end stroller with a price tag of over $1,800. If you are looking for a luxury double stroller, this is it. There is no denying that it has a high price point. But with a designer stroller comes high quality and comfort.

The truth is that we love the Donkey for everything from daily trips to the park or grocery store. We also love to use the Donkey at Disney. It’s easy to push and maneuver, and our kids are so comfortable in it.

We used our Bugaboo Donkey at Disney when we drove there. We would not fly with our Bugaboo Donkey. It is just too big and heavy. I would also suggest hiding an Airtag within the stroller. I was always a little nervous that someone would steal it.
