Well, Dh and I decided that we are going next summer...Yay! But, our kids will be almost 5 and almost 2....so what do I bring? Do I bring my lightweight stroller or do we rent them at the parks? Has anyone ever rented the strollers before, if so what are they like? Thanks so much!

~Thank you Ana~
park strollers are hard plastic and not at all comfortable for little ones. It would be fine to give your 5 yo a rest though. I'd probably just bring 2 umbrella strollers.
We always brought our own stroller. The times you need it most are in the airport, and on the way to and from the parks. Those are the times when a rental isn't available. I've seen many parents carrying sleeping children, backpacks and souveniers out of the parks, walking to the busses, and then back to their rooms. It's quite a juggling act!!

I also vote for bringing your own lightweight stroller! Especially if you have a child that might nap in the stroller, which is nearly impossible for a little one in the hard plastic rentals.
I bought a folding umbrella with a canopy and basket underneath for about $40 at One Step Ahead. I love it because it folds real tiny and has a carry strap. We fold it up and my husband pops it on his shoulder so we do not have to park it with the many other strollers in the lots near the rides.
