Should I bring a stroller to Disneyland for 5 year old?

We brought my older niece with us to Walt Disney World when she was 5-years old and again when she was 6. On both occasions, we brought a stroller with us. While she did not use a stroller at home normally, you could tell she was grateful for a place to sit while getting to the next attraction or activity.

Disneyland. Much like Magic Kingdom, Disneyland is my top choice for 5-year-olds because it offers classic Disney Magic. Walking down Mainstreet towards the castle will excite kids of all ages. In Adventure land, kids can experience the timeless journey of the Jungle Cruise and run through Tarzans' Tree House.
