Need a stroller, is this a wagon?

OK, I keep going back and forth and just can't decide. We are going to Disney for the week of Halloween this year. My kids will be 5 1/2 and just turned 4 so we will definitely need a stroller of some sort. The oldest has already outgrown all the strollers we have (46 lbs) and the little man isn't far behind her LOL! We had assumed that we would just rent but I just checked rental prices and am rethinking it. We are heading into summer and that means tons of trips to the zoo, parks and Dollywood so getting something that the two of them could ride in would be helpful anyway. Currently, we just use a Step 2 wagon when we go to the zoo but obviously that would never work at WDW LOL!
I keep seeing this Fisher Price Kid Utility Vehicle.

The Disney website says no wagons and I can totally see why. But this thing fits within their stroller size limit (41x29) and would compact down if we needed it to. Would they consider it a wagon just because it pulls behind?

AND if this is considered a wagon, is there a double stroller of some sort that could carry 100lbs of kids... and still be comparable to the cost of renting one for the week?

Many thanks for any help!!

Wow my older kids haven't been held for years, you still hold your 4 and 5 year old? I'd rather push a stroller then hold a child that big. Mine get used to not being held/carried early on because we had 6 kids in less then 9 years, there's always been a baby to carry.

We always rent the double for the length of our stay too.

I guess my post wasn't clear---we don't take a stroller that belongs to someone else.

Right, and usually they'll have "extras" at the train stations for people who "abandon" a stroller and want to pick up elsewhere...not return to the same train station.

But that's nothing, my mom went back to her 6 week check-up from having my brother already pregnant with me. He is 10 months 1 day older than me.

I still hold my youngest (6) especially at Disney after the stroller is turned in for the night.
