Do you need a stroller for 3 year old at Disney?

To answer your question, yes, you should have a stroller for your 3 and 5-year olds. Adventure-filled days in the theme parks require a LOT of walking, and little legs tire easily. In fact, during my family's most recent visit, my 8-year old even asked to rest his legs in the stroller a few times during the week.

The Disney World Stroller is made for durability, that being said it is not the most comfortable thing on the planet. My kids never had an issue but it is something to consider. In addition, these things are super easy to push. My 9-year-old plopped in one of these and we whizzed her around with no problem at all.
