So we're going to Disney World this Friday. I'm going to be traveling alone with DD on Friday arriving at midnight in Orlando. DD and I will be going to Magic Kingdom on Saturday. I was wondering, should I bring the stroller and carrier or just a carrier? I'm using my backpack as our diaper bag.
DH will be meeting us for dinner on Saturday night.

I've gone to Disney twice with LO and although we rented a stroller one time, we didn't use it. I just wore LO all day both times and we were fine.

How old is your child? I have not ever baby worn in Disney, my son was too old and it was too hot!

We are going on the 18th, ha:). I'm just bringing the stroller- I haven't worn her in a long time though! She just turned two, and is actually not even really a fan of the stroller anymore unless she's really tired.
The stroller is also nice to have to put stuff in/on and not carry.
I know we'll get roped into buying loads of Disney crap:)

@bunnylove08: I'd probably bring both, if you can. I like options.

The carrier is essential for lines, but we used the stroller the rest of the time. I can't imagine wearing my 2 yo all day! Or with super tired Disney feet.

Always bring both! We were just at an all day event in Wisconsin (freaking brrrr!) and didn't bring her carrier (just brought her stroller!) and ended up needing both. (I was able to borrow an ergo from my friend.)

@bunnylove08: are you staying on property? If you are staying on property and Babywear normally I wouldn't bother with a stroller. My two year old loves to be worn and when he does get antsy he can walk around holding my hand. He doesn't like the stroller pretty much at all. Plus if you are staying on the property they will send whatever you buy back to your room for free (!). Can I just say how jealous I am right now? We are planning a Disney trip for 2016.

Umbrella stroller for easy maneuverability and ergo. Our two year old napped in the ergo, otherwise we just put it in the basket underneath the stroller. We walked 8-10 miles a day, so by the end of each day the girls were fighting over the stroller.

@MrsRcCar: we are! We're staying at the Disney Caribbean Beach. Yes if we buy anything I will have them shuttle it to the hotel so I dont have to hold on to it.
I just bought a carrier for DD, I'm not sure she is thrilled about it but liked it when she was tired. She likes to cuddle and be held when she is tired . If she is in the stroller she is okay but I know we will have to get in and out of the stroller since we will have to wait in line so that's why I'm thinking no stroller. Taking the stroller to stroller parking takes time and if my DH was with me, I would run on line, he would park the stroller and meet me online.

@bunnylove08: personally I wouldn't take a stroller. When we traveled over the summer I regretted bringing ours, both of my kids preferred to just be in carriers. I have an ergo and ring sling. My two year old does prefer my ring sling and it is super easy for on and off. Plus it is easy to put in the diaper bag when he just wants to walk. He doesn't love the stroller like I said but he really hates the in and out. Plus I would worry about my stroller going missing. I guess what I am trying to say is it depends on your toddler but mine would not do well with the in and out of a stroller. I hope you have fun!

@MrsRcCar: Thanks! I think I'm not going to bring it when I go solo on Saturday and if I need it I can rent one

@Mrs Green Grass: yep! carrier is ESSENTIAL for lines with a toddler! or 12 hands.
@bunnylove08: i didn't bring the carrier when i went to disneyland with DD and i regretted it! lines were too long and she got bored, so i chased her through them many times.

@bunnylove08: yeah. i voted for both. LO was 21 months when we went. i went with 3 other moms and their kids, not DH, so same situation.

We went in October and we're fine with just a stroller (she was 8 months). We brought a carrier but it was more trouble than it was worth.

@bunnylove08: the only time we used the carrier was to get her to face in and take a nap. She just would not sleep in the stroller looking around. Even in the hot 100 degree heat that's how we got her down.

I would just bring the carrier and rent a stroller from Kingdom Strollers! We went with our 17 month old and took turns wearing him - the stroller was a pain bc you have to park it in stroller parking anyway. You can wear your little in the carrier forward facing on all rides too! That was a life saver for us esp on the boat rides like pirates and the jungle cruise!
Have fun! It is so so awesome with littles!
