If you’re wondering which pram to take to Disney, my biggest tip is to choose something lightweight, comfy, and easy to push after a long day in the parks. We took our Baby Jogger City Tour 2 and honestly found it perfect — it handled the parks really well, had plenty of storage underneath for snacks and essentials, and the large canopy was great for keeping little one shaded in the Florida heat. You’ll be doing so much walking at Disney, so having a pram that reclines for naps and folds down easily for buses or transport makes a huge difference. A good pram can genuinely make your Disney days so much easier (and save tired little legs too!).
Disney World Security with a Pram
Many parents worry about Disney World security checks with a pram, but the process is normally very family-friendly.
In most cases:
Babies and toddlers can stay in the pram
Bags must be removed from underneath
Cast Members may check the hood and storage basket
Large bags go through separate screening
Older children may occasionally be asked to step out briefly, but many families find babies rarely need to leave the pram.
This is especially helpful when children are asleep during early mornings or after fireworks.
This table shows you an overview of which hotels have which direct transport options.
Best Disney Transport for Families with a Pram
Disney Monorail Resorts
The Disney Monorail is one of the easiest transport options at Disney World for families with a pram.
Can you take a pram on the Disney Monorail?
Yes — prams usually stay open
Children can remain seated
Ideal for naps and quick transport
The Monorail connects Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort and Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa to Magic Kingdom and EPCOT. For many UK families with babies or toddlers, Monorail resorts are considered the easiest Disney hotels for transportation.
Walking to Magic Kingdom from Disney Resorts
One of the biggest advantages of staying at certain Disney hotels is being able to walk to Magic Kingdom Park.
This is especially useful:
After fireworks
When buses are crowded
If children fall asleep in the pram
To avoid folding the pram
Disney’s Contemporary Resort
This is the easiest walk to Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World, with quick security access, no bus queues, easy midday breaks and ideal for toddlers and babies. Many families consider this the best Disney resort for pram access.
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
A dedicated walking path connects the Grand Floridian directly to Magic Kingdom.
This is especially helpful after nighttime fireworks when transport queues become extremely busy. This pathway does shut at a certain time thought so just be aware (it was 11pm when we were walking through recently, so worth checking current hours)
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
It’s possible to walk from the Polynesian to Magic Kingdom Park by using the pathway through Disney’s Grand Floridian. This is a huge resort to walk through so just be prepared it could take you upwards of 30 minutes.
Disney Skyliner with a Pram
The Disney Skyliner is another excellent transportation option for families travelling with young children.
Can prams stay open on the Disney Skyliner?
Usually yes
Most single prams roll straight on
Sleeping children often stay seated
Skyliner resorts include:
Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort
Disney’s Riviera Resort
Disney’s Pop Century Resort
Disney’s Art of Animation Resort
The Skyliner travels to:
EPCOT
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
For families with napping toddlers, the Skyliner is one of the easiest Disney transport systems.
Best Disney Resorts Within Walking Distance of EPCOT
The EPCOT resort area is one of the best places to stay with a pram, because both EPCOT and Hollywood Studios are walkable from
Disney’s BoardWalk Inn
Disney’s Yacht Club Resort
Disney’s Beach Club Resort
Benefits include no folded prams, easy midday breaks, and walking to EPCOT is especially quick from Beach Club and Yacht Club.
Disney World Buses with a Pram
Disney buses are the most common form of Disney transportation, but prams must be folded, children must get out and bags may need removing. This can be difficult after fireworks, during busy times or with sleeping toddlers
Disney Boat Transportation
Disney boats are fun and relaxing, although not always the fastest transport option. Disney’s Wilderness Lodge & Campsite offer boat transport to Magic Kingdom, one of the most popular boat routes for families.
EPCOT Area Friendship Boats
Friendship Boats connect:
Disney’s BoardWalk Inn
Disney’s Yacht Club Resort
Disney’s Beach Club Resort
