those are the exact two strollers we have. I would say the P3 because it's got a better recline if your child would need to nap, and the hood is much better for sun protection.

Also, if you're travelling by air, it's probably easier to gatecheck the p3.

We have gone to Disneyland a few times with our now 7 month old and the P3 was perfect. We have a Valco too, but I think that would have been too much. We also added a protect-a bub sunshade to the stroller to help DS sleep even better when it was time to nap.
Have fun!

Thanks for the replies (and votes)! The P3 seems to be the perfect stroller for just about everything ... so why do I have eight other strollers ?!?!?!?!

I'm going against the flow here, we LOVED having our E3 at Disney!

I've used the following strollers there:
Zooper Zydeco
Snap N Go
E3 (twice)
Mac Volo
Zippy

I liked the e3 best because it had the best push, easy to steer one handed, huge basket, full recline for napping, and I added the sun and rain covers...which were invaluable there! The e3 still has a easy and relatively small fold, so if you end up having to take a bus, it won't be a bear.

Honestly, my least favorite was the Zippy. Compared to my other experiences, it was hard to push, difficult to steer, and did horribly in the rain. The fold was nice for the buses, but I hated pushing it around the parks. After that trip, I swore to always take an all-terrain stroller with me to Disney!

I hope you have a great time on your trip!

I'm with this vote too. Take anything with air tires. Comparing the hassle of pushing it around all day or the hassle of the few minutes on the bus, or walking to the car, or best of all options, having dh go _get_ the car and waiting by the curb with the kids, it's a no brainer for me for giving up the fold. I'll wait, or walk, or hassle the thing onto it's own row on the bus every time.

HTH,

Do you put it into the newborn mode or just unclip the buckles? That's my biggest gripe with the E3--that you can't get a full recline like the P3. With just the zippers undone, it's not much of a recline.

Any suggestions?

Thank you.
