Bell Services luggage hold when not staying at the resort

[okienick]

Hey everyone! We will be headed to WL in Nov and are planning to take an uber from the airport with only our carryon bags in tow. I was planning to uber straight to WL and then head to Epcot, but was wondering if it would be possible to store our bags at an Epcot resort that's in walking distance from the international gateway. We would come back to pick it up later that evening before heading back to WL. Is this possible? TIA!

Why not just rent a locker at EP? https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/guest-services/locker-rentals/

That is something to consider, but are they located at the international gateway? Or only at the front of the park?

Bell Services will only hold bags for guests of that resort. So you could only leave your bags with Bell Services at WL if that is where you are staying.

That's what I needed to know. We will plan accordingly. Thanks!

A few years ago, my nephew took a cab directly from the airport to GF to meet family for dinner at Citricos. He left his bags at Bell services while he had dinner... so there are times when you can leave bags at a hotel and you're not booked for a room. However, he was meeting a party with an ADR, so that might be the reason why he was allowed to leave his bags.

There are lockers at IG, but they may not be big enough to hold your carry-ons. Here is the info: http://www.wdwinfo.com/tips_for_touring/lockers.htm

What size will your carry on be? We use the luggage lockers at Epcot every trip. They hold any bag that is carry on size. Most other lockers on property are too small. These lockers that we use are different, they are cash (coin) only and are not inside the park, but outside, near the buses. Which is good, because it means you don't have to take them through bag check. These lockers are also near where Uber/Lyft drops off at the front of the park.
If you only have a backpack size carry on the regular size lockers will be fine. These are both at IG and inside the park near GS.

Thanks a TON! That is exactly what I needed to know. I usually take a VB weekender, the smaller one, but I'm afraid it might be still too large for the small lockers at IG. If we take the Uber straight to the front of the park, though, we could just use the ones there. Our only plan is to eat there at the F&W for lunch and then use express transportation to head over to AK for the rest of the day. So, I will either take a smaller bag to ensure it fits in the smaller locker or we will just use the ones at the front of the park!

I you use the ones outside the park, bring quarters. No change available nearby. It's a long walk back and forth to GS to get change. We learned the hard way
