Stash Your Stuff

Heading to The World and have more stuff than you'd like to tote around with you all day?  Let's face it, as well-meaning as we may be, the gear we bring with us can tie us down!  As if waiting in line for longer than 15 minutes to ride The Jungle Cruise, or staking out prime real estate for the 3:00 parade isn't enough with our little ones in tow, we weigh ourselves down with stuff we really only need once during the day!


I have several ideas when it comes to dealing with stuff, but for this blog, I'll stick to some information about locker rentals at WDW (just for you Missy!).


Lockers can really save you at WDW.  They make for a great place to stash rain gear that you may need later in the day (an you will!), or to store jackets or souvenirs (unless you are staying on property, in which case, they will have the items sent to your room for you!).  


All four parks share the same policy regarding locker rental:

• Large Lockers: $9.00/day plus $5.00 key deposit (refunded when key is returned).
• Small Lockers: $7.00/day plus $5.00 key deposit (refunded when key is returned).
• You may access key operated lockers as often as you want.
• You must return your key within an hour of park closing.

If you plan to visit more than one park on the same day, you need not pay additional rental fees.  Simply return the key for your $5.00 refund and get a receipt.  Present the receipt to the next theme park, pay another $5.00 deposit and you will have a locker for the remainder of the day.  May be a hassle, much like renting strollers at WDW, but worth it if you want to free yourself from extra items. 


Lockers are located in various areas throughout the parks and offer various sizes:
Large Locker dimensions: 17"H x 12"W x 16" Deep
Small Locker dimensions: Small Lockers: 11"H x 9" W x 22" Deep
Luggage Locker dimensions: 23"H x 16"W x 29" Deep
Extra Small Locker dimensions: 4"H x 3"W x 5" Deep
