Do older kids need stroller at Disney?

If you're visiting with another adult companion, I advise bringing a lightweight umbrella stroller so your older kid can hop in and out. Also, bring your usual stroller (as long as it's smaller than 31 inches wide and 52 inches in length) that accommodates your other two younger children.

While there are size limitations to the strollers allowed on property, there are no guidelines that mention a specific age limit at this time. All considering, I think whether you bring a stroller or not is truly a personal decision. Step back and determine what would work best for your children and family in general.

Whether or not a 7-year-old needs a stroller at Disney depends on the individual child's needs and preferences. Some 7-year-olds may be able to walk long distances and stand in lines for extended periods of time without getting tired, while others may become fatigued more quickly.

Disneyland is great for kids over the age of 7. So if you have 4 kids, 2 of which are under 7, you may have to watch which rides you can do. For my family, this meant that my oldest two (ages 9 and 10) could ride rides together while an adult rode with the younger kids (ages 2, 4, and 6).

I chose to use a stroller on Walt Disney World Resort vacations for as long as my son would fit in one. This was long after he had outgrown a stroller for routine use in our daily lives at home, but for the extreme activity and hustle-and-bustle of these trips, a stroller made sense for us.

In fact, I suggest parents with young children, up to the age of five or even beyond, consider using a stroller at Disneyland. While we are now where we no longer need strollers in theme parks, sometimes we wish we had one when we go to the parks from open to close.

Disney has great theme parks for 7 year olds, especially when they start wanting to branch out more with thrills. Many of Disney's roller coasters aren't super high thrill and can be handled by guests of all ages. A great park to start for at for a 7 year old would be Hollywood Studios or Animal Kingdom.
