Does anyone have any suggestions on WHEN/WHERE to rent the stroller. Also, how does this work exactly? Do you keep it all day in the park, and just hope no one takes it as you are on a ride or and exhibit? What is the cost exactly? We will want a double stroller...are they very obvious where the rental stations are? OH, do they only accept cash or can we use our debit or credit card?

Sorry for my many questions, I've starting to REALLY stress out now .... only 3 more days!

Thanks again!!

I don't know the answer to all your questions but I'll do the ones I do know.

Yes, the rental areas are obvious and entrance to each park.

also, at MK when we went (and we go during busy times, so i don't know if they do this at non-busy times too), they have a cm right when you get off the boat that you can pay and get a ticket, then you don't have to wait in line up at the stroller rental desk... you just show your ticket to the person handing out the strollers. I don't know if they do this at each park.

You can use credit/debit to rent the stroller.

You can get a rental at another park same day for free if you return the stroller at the first park.

In general, nobody "takes" other people's strollers. But, some people mistakenly think if you rent a stroller it means you can just grab any one at the end of the ride. This happens infrequently, but we've had posts on this board in the (far) past of people mistakenly thinking that was how it works. You get a name tag to put in your stroller with your last name.

As mentioned, CMs will move them to "straighten" up the area...they do this with non-rentals, too. Don't panic, just look around.

Putting a bright, unique bandanna or tying a balloon is a great idea. Hobby Lobby has lots of cool bandannas.
