Disney Exppress baggage service Vs Lockers

[Hollywoodsign]

Hello. I'm unsure weather to use the lockers at Disney for when we arrive / depart or to instead use the Disney baggage service from the Eurostar. Which would you say is better or most cost effective?? There is 2 of us traveling with 1 hand luggage size suitcase each. I know the Disney express service is £32 for the 2 cases which seems a lot! I am unsure of how much the lockers are?? Thanks!

you can do Disney express one way, from your hotel, on your checkout day. You pay a total of 11 euros per room, so for 11 euros all your luggage will be taken for you to the Disney Express desk inside the train station.

2 hand luggage sized cases will fit in the smallest size locker in the locker room at the train station - they cost around 6 euros now for the smallest locker, next size up is around 8 euros, largest locker is 10 euros.

You can also just drop off your lugagge at Guest Storage next to Guest Relations.

you do have to pay for this too though, and you pay per item of luggage you leave.

True, but 1 piece of hand luggage per person is not that expensive. Just a few euros. It's much cheaper than Disney Express Baggage.

And just to add, on our last trip disney express gave us someone else's case!!
I only noticed right before security when I saw the handwriting was not mine. Daft dad didn't notice it wasn't his case, and the first 2 were mine!!

i don't think it is anymore - last time i left my bags at Guest Storage they charged me suitcase price if my bag looked like a case, and bag price if it looked like a rucksack - I think I was charged 10 euros for 2 hand-luggage bags. Its only 11 euros for Disney Express one way on the return leg, and as I said before, 2 hand-luggage size bags will fit in one small locker at the train station, for a total of around 6 euros.

I haven't used the Guest Services storage since the day I arrived to collect my luggage before getting on my train home one afternoon and found a ginormous queue of guests paying to put their coats in there. I've never had that problem at the train station locker room!

I think when I was there (admittedly last time was October last year) it was 3 Euros for a small bag, 5 Euros for a middle sized and 9 or 10 Euros for a big bag.

But they also offered storage for 3 bags free each day with a Dream AP so I used the Guest Relations storage extensively over the year I had the AP! (I even once went shopping at Val d'Europe and bought groceries etc... then left it with Guest Relations so I could go play in the park before going back to the hotel...)

Another (more cumbersome) alternative is to leave bags with the hotel, enjoy the day in the parks, then pick up bags from hotel just before leaving. This is completely free! But is also more cumbersome as you have to head back to the hotel and pick things up with a view to amount of time left before the train leaves! We did this once (can't remember what possessed us to do this as I could have just left it at Guest Relations for free) and I really wouldn't do this again. But it is free...
