✨ 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?

The Monorail connects:

  • Disney’s Contemporary Resort

  • Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort

  • Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa

  • 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

✨ Disney’s Contemporary Resort

This is the easiest walk to Magic Kingdom at Disney World.

✨ 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)


✨ Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort

Yes — it is 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
