Essential Guide to Disneyland Lockers

Where can you store all your stuff when you go to Disneyland and is a locker really necessary? Can you take backpacks and crossbody bags on rides with you? Or maybe you prefer to rent a locker at Disneyland Resort. I rent lockers almost every time I visit (about once a month) and have all the details here!

There’s a lot of convenience that comes with renting a Disneyland locker and this article will outline the price of Disneyland lockers, locker sizes, map of Disneyland lockers and give tips on what to store in your lockers and which location might be best for your visit.

Quick Disneyland Locker Info

 Disneyland lockers rarely sell out but here are a few other things you need to know before you head to Disneyland

  1. There are 5 locker locations at Disneyland Resort to store your things, I explore each of those in detail below.
  2. Disneyland lockers start at $7 per day with in and out privileges. 
  3. Credit or debit card payment is your best bet for paying for your Disneyland locker. 
  4. Backpacks, small coolers, souvenirs and more can fit into one Disneyland locker depending on the size you choose.

While you can take bags and backpacks on all rides at Disneyland Resort, sometimes you just don’t want to carry things around. I usually keep a smaller, essential bag on my person and get a locker for anything else.

Disneyland locker locations

When I visit with my family we get a locker to store all kinds of things like:

  • hoodies
  • change of shoes
  • newly purchased souvenirs
  • an entire chocolate cake (we forgot we ordered it and were too full to eat it)
  • drinks and snacks

Where are the lockers at Disneyland Resort?

Disneyland lockers are available in various spots at Disneyland Resort. I break it down here. 

Disneyland Esplanade Lockers

This space has two locker areas which is in between Disneyland Park and California Adventure Park. I recommend this spot if you are park hopping and/or using the picnic area located nearby.

This is also a good location to use if you arrive early in the morning for rope drop and don’t want to wait to get inside the parks before getting settled. Lockers in this area are most accessible and not subject to park hours, however nothing can be stored overnight.

Disneyland Picnic Area Lockers

Also in the esplanade and in between Disneyland Park and California Adventure Park. I recommend this spot if you are have a hard sided, larger cooler or a small carry-on you’d like to put in a locker. Read more about Disneyland’s picnic area here.

Disneyland Park Locker Rentals

Located on Main Street, U.S.A. near Market House on your right hand side if you’re walking toward Sleeping Beauty Castle. 

I recommend this spot if you are spending your entire day at Disneyland Park or plan to finish your day at Disneyland Park. Lockers in this area are subject to park hours and nothing can be stored overnight.

California Adventure Locker Rentals

Located on Buena Vista Street near Mortimer’s Market on your right hand side if you’re walking toward Carthay Circle Restaurant.

I recommend this spot ONLY if you are spending your entire day at California Adventure Park- not for park hopping at all because lockers in this area are subject to park hours and California Adventure often closes much earlier than Disneyland Park.

 

Grizzly Lockers Free

 

PS there are “secret” lockers near Grizzly River Run, they’re free for a short period of time so you can store items you don’t want to get wet. As of this writing, you can use them free for 2 hours, but the price increases dramatically if you go over at $7 per hour. And you’ll need to pay with a credit card to get your stuff out, so don’t leave that inside. 

Can a cooler or ice chest fit into a Disneyland locker?

Disneyland Resort allows coolers as long as they do not exceed 24″ x 15″ x 18″, but remember they must be soft sided with no loose ice and no glass. You will find jumbo sized lockers in the picnic area outside the main park gates. See park rules and regulations here.

Can I store luggage in a Disneyland locker?

Most carry on luggage or suitcases will not fit into Disneyland lockers, except the lockers in the picnic area. But your items are subject to search upon entry, so be prepared for that to take a bit of time. Jumbo sized lockers are available in this spot. Any luggage must not exceed 24″ x 15″ x 18″, with or without wheels.  See park rules and regulations here.
