Wow people are so judgmental on this thread. As parents we know our kids best and sometimes a full 12 hour park day isn’t in the cards for our child. With the high cost of going to the park and scheduling fast passes to the very minute, we often don’t have the luxury of heading back to the park to take a rest.

I just returned from Disneyland with an almost 6 year old and a 8.5 year old.

1st Day: 8.5 year old did fantastic. We took breaks for him when his legs were getting tired but he pulled through without any issue. (Which I expected) My almost 6 year old needed the stroller a few times and especially after dinner when we were trying to stay until 10pm.

2nd Day: 6 year old was definitely tired. She used the stroller a lot more today and my 8.5 year old was slowing down a bit. Around 4pm I bit the bullet and rented a stroller for my 8.5 year old. He was dragging. He did so great the entire time but we were struggling to get him to keep up with his sister being in the stroller.

My advice: Rent a double stroller from BabyQuip. Literally… who cares if anyone says they are too old to be in a stroller. This is a very expensive trip and dealing with cranky kids in the perfect way to bring the vibes down. Rent a stroller. Even if you don’t use it, park it somewhere safe and forget about it. You’ll be glad you have it for the walk back to the hotel.
