Should I get a stroller for 4 year old at Disney World?

That's an enormous distance for a 4- or 5-year-old to walk, and if you decide not to take a pushchair to Disney World, you might do a lot of carrying. You will likely be walking around from very early in the morning until late in the evening. That's a lot for even the best four or 5-year-old walker.

Taking your own stroller to Disney World is a good idea for many reasons, but my main reasons are that Disney World is huge and hot; you will be walking all day. Plus, it's expensive to hire them; they all look the same. Before we went, I still didn't believe my 5-year-old would need a pushchair for Disney World.

I recommend a stroller as long as you can when visiting Walt Disney World Resort, even for children who would never consider using a stroller at home. Even though most 6-year olds are beyond capable of walking on their own, a day in the parks is unlike anything else and it can be exhausting.
