So, we finally decided to take that amazing Disney vacation with our toddler (yay!). Besides entry tickets, hotels, and good shoes, we had to figure out another important thing: the stroller situation. If you’re thinking about simply packing your go-to stroller, you need to know that all Disney parks come with stroller restrictions. However, the good news is that most of the best umbrella stroller for Disney options include some of the most favorite and top-rated travel strollers with parents. Disney’s rules are that, firstly, they need to be strollers and strollers only, i.e., they can’t be stroller wagons or regular wagons. Secondly, they shouldn’t be larger than 79 cm (31 in) wide and/or 132 cm (52 in) long.
Keeping that in mind, we’ve come up with a comprehensive list of the best shaded strollers you can take to “The Most Magical Place on Earth,” as well as a useful buying guide.

The super-flexible frame rounded up the useful features, making it the absolute smallest stroller that we’ve taken easily to Disney.

Costing less than USD 80, the Summer Infant 3Dlite Stroller was definitely one of the least priced good stroller options on our list. However, that didn’t mean that we were compromising when it came to our babies. For one, the aluminum frame made it extremely lightweight at 13 lbs while having a 50 lbs weight capacity. Moreover, the foot folding mechanism was extremely easy for us to operate, allowing us to carry and store it easily. Furthermore, it even had a canopy along with a sun visor and as many as four recline positions for the seat. Finally, we appreciated the in-built carry handle, the onboard cupholder, and the spacious underseat storage basket.

The Bugaboo Butterfly 1 Second Fold Ultra-Compact Stroller is undoubtedly the coolest, smallest stroller we’ve ever used. There were many things we loved about this lovely and compact stroller, besides the sleek and thoughtful design. Firstly, it boasted a 7-position reclining seatback, allowing our kiddos to be very comfortable, along with a removable pad. But what we loved the most was the unique harness that would stay propped open when waiting for us to put down the baby.

Rounding things up was the maneuverability, which made the stroller very easy to turn and push.

We loved the Chicco Liteway Stroller for its single-handed maneuverability. That ebing said, this stroller also boasted a quick-folding and lightweight frame, while also being a durable workhorse at the same time. It could handle a variety of terrains with panache, whether it was cobblestoned streets, pavements, gravel, or dirt paths. Moreover, the extensive recline was perfect for on-the-go naps. And finally, it could even fit easily in tiny hall closets and small sedans, given that we could fold it quickly, while also featuring a window, a cupholder, and a canopy.

There are many things we absolutely love about the Nuna Trvl DBL Stroller. Firstly, it was anything but basic. Secondly, it was spacious. thirdly, it was extremely wide while also being easy to fold. In fact, it was the easiest side-by-side double stroller we’ve ever folded. At the same time, it was narrow enough to make it through most doorways. We especially loved the durability, and even though we had to spot-clean it, it was easy. Our babies especially loved the peekaboo windows on the dual-extending canopies. Additionally, the zipper was easy to open and shut, and even featured a cover so it wouldn’t leak when it was raining. Rounding things up was the all-wheel suspension which made for a smooth ride.

Uppababy G-Link V2 Stroller

Best double stroller. The Uppababy G-Link V2 Stroller has been a lifesaver for us when we traveled to Disney with our twins! Not only was it not bulky or unwieldy, but it was an easy, lightweight ride across many different kinds of surfaces. This was thanks to the presence of the four wheels, which also meant that there were no center wheels that we could accidentally trip over or kick while pushing the stroller. If that wasn’t enough, the complete coverage UPF 50+ canopy for both chairs and the three-position recline ensured complete comfort for our babies. Finally, the 10 lbs (4.5 kg) storage basket and back pockets on both canopies certainly made for excellent storage space.

Costing just USD 90, this modestly priced stroller was also very easy for us to assemble. Since it had a weight capacity of 50 lbs, we used this stroller from when the kiddo was an infant until they were well into preschool. Rounding things up was the fact that this stroller worked great on multiple terrains, earning top marks for maneuverability.

Austlen Entourage 2.0 Stroller
2
The nifty single-to-double Austlen Entourage 2.0 Stroller was unlike any other stroller we’d seen. When we had just one kid with us, we’d expand the second part to hold our luggage and groceries. The stroller came mostly assembled out of the box; all we had to do was stick on the wheels and bumpers. What’s more, it even came with an accordion-style bag that could be attached between the seat and the telescoping handlebars. So, we had additional storage space aside from the spacious undercarriage basket. Plus, it had bouncy, responsive tires, a gliding four-wheel suspension, and it could even hold two car seats from most brands. That’s why it’s also one of the best umbrella strollers for twins. For more details, check out the official product page.

Best overall. The Uppababy G-Luxe Stroller is the best of all shaded strollers we’ve come across that can be taken to Disney World. Weighing 16 lbs (7.25 kg), the stroller is both sturdy and easy to carry, along with a total weight capacity of 55 lbs (25 kg). So, we could use this stroller for our infants until they turn into toddlers. In fact, we could comfortably fling the stroller over our shoulders and carry it due to the handy strap. If that wasn’t enough, the stroller could even stand on its own when it was in its folded form. Rounding things up were the adult cupholders and the generous UPF 50+ protection canopy, which kept our kiddos protected. That’s why it’s also one of the best umbrella strollers.

How To Choose The Best Umbrella Strollers For Disney?
Thankfully, aside from the length and width restrictions mentioned earlier, and the fact that strollers can’t include wagons, there aren’t any other restrictions on seat configurations, number of seats, basket sizes, or stroller heights. Here are a few details you need to check before purchasing a stroller for Disney:
Weight and Age Limits
We’ve always considered (and strictly not ignored) the weight and age limits for strollers. Usually, we’ve always considered the manufacturer’s age and weight guidelines. As a general rule of the thumb, before babies can use classic strollers, they need to be able to sit up on their own at the minimum. Additionally, most strollers could possibly accommodate kiddos up to 40-55 lbs.
Portability and Maneuverability
Two of the most important things we looked for in our Disney strollers were their portability and maneuverability. Sometimes, manufacturers might reduce storage space, cushioning, and shock absorption to make strollers lighter. So, make sure that your stroller doesn’t have these issues. Secondly, we’ve always looked for straps that make it extremely easy to carry and lift the stroller. Furthermore, we’ve also looked for mechanisms that allow us to hold our kiddos as we folded the stroller one-handed. The best idea is to go for strollers that have front swivel wheels.
Comfort
After everything is said and done, the kiddos need to be comfortable in the strollers. Some comfort features included padded, adjustable, and reclining seats, footrests, good-sized umbrella canopies, and good airflow. Additionally, we always look for adjustable handlebars so it allows us to also stay comfortable for longer times.
Storage Space
Finally, when we’re headed to Disney, it’s nothing less than a packing adventure. However, storage expectations might need some adjustment when it comes to umbrella strollers since they’re designed to be lightweight and compact. While the storage baskets might be on the smaller side, the stroller is easier to fold and carry.
Which popular strollers don’t fit Disney regulations?
These include the Baby Trend Navigator Double Jogger, the Baby Trend Expedition Double Jogger, the Thule Urban Glide Double Stroller, the Joovy Big Caboose, and the Joovy Zoom360 Ultralight Jogger.
Can I take the strollers on Disney’s internal transportation?
Yes. All you need to do while using Disney’s bus is to fold up the stroller at any time. On the Skyliner, you can walk with single/front-back strollers, but you will have to fold double ones side by side. Unless they’re full, you won’t have to fold strollers on most boats in Disney World and you can take them right onto the monorail.
Where can I use the stroller at Disney?
Strollers are permitted on ramps and elevators, but aren’t allowed on escalators.
