Double stroller for vaca?

We are going to Aruba so not a lot of walking at all. I have a 4 and 2 yr old. Both boys can get lazy. I don't use it much for my 4 yr old and really only use it for my 2 yr old DS to keep him confined from running around. Mostly if we go to the mall or lots of walking.
Anyway, my 4 yr old is also lazy sometimes and he wants to sit in the stroller usually more that his little brother.

We leave for the airport really early bc the flight is at 7AM. Was planning on only taking the single, but then I was thinking my 4 yr old may be really tired and there's lots of walking at the airport.
Only issue is I don't think I'll use the stroller much at all when we are in Aruba. Maybe some walking.
Double or see how my 4 yr old is and if I have to carry him I will.

I would not bring stroller. I also have to say I don't have a 4yr old yet, my twin boys are 2 1/2. I would tell your 4yr old, he has to walk & be big boy. You will have to keep everythhing organized for trip. He can do it once....

I would bring the double especially since your 2 yo will need it. Otherwise they may fight all the time when the stroller is out if you take the single since your 4 yo likes the stroller. I say take the double for piece of mind.

My kids are 2, 4 and 6 and we brought the double stroller plus the glider board AND a single umbrella stroller with us to WDW last month.
I thought it was overkill but a good friend pushed us to bring everything and I'm glad we did. We ended up using each of them multiple times. I thought we'd only need the umbrella for the little guy but I found the 6yr old wanted to rest in the airport sometimes, the 4yr old had enough energy but needed to be confined in some busy areas of our vacation, and then we had extra room to store some stuff, too.

Thanks! Like you we brought the double for WDW, which was worth it. Just wondering if it's stupid for just the airport, but there is a lot of walking and waiting around. If my 4 yr old is sitting and playing with a phone or something he'd be fine. Also, we have to be up at 3 - 4 AM to get to the airport. Can't imagine him wanting to walk with little sleep.
We have a cheap double umbrella I could bring.
