Lockers in Epcot?

[KikiFan]

Can anyone tell me if Epcot has lockers? And where they are located? And how much they cost?

I've never rented a locker before but since we'll be at Epcot from open to close on Christmas day I thought it might come in handy!

Yes, they are to the right of Spaceship Earth. They are the regular size ones. They have larger ones at the bus terminal areas. I believe they are 5.00$ a day.You have to empty them an hour before park closes.

Well, let's see here. Almost right.

They are to the right of SE (as you enter). You walk under SE to get to them (next to the restrooms).
To RENT them, just go into the photo shop next door.

They have TWO sizes (same price) just ask, first-come, first-served.
(Yes, there are some LUGGAGE-SIZE lockers at the bus-dispatch bldg.)

To rent the inside-Epoct regular lockers is $5 per day, plus a $2 key deposit (that you get back when you turn in the key.)

You do NOT have to empty them an hour before the park closes (that would be silly... that's why most folks RENT a locker, to keep things until they leave.)
You only need to empty a locker as you leave the park that day (late or not). No overnights.

If you rent a locker at one park (they all have them) and you go to another park in the same day ("hop") you don't need to pay a second time.
You can get a locker at the other park(s) that same day with your receipt from the first one.

Well, to the right of SE next to the bathrooms, past the Kodak picture store but before the Art of Disney store. And, I believe you atleast have to turn your key in before closing time.

I believe you atleast have to turn your key in before closing time.

Nope.

Again, that would be silly (defeat the purpose of renting a locker for many guests).

IllumiNations does not BEGIN until "park closing time."

We have turned our key in MANY times (dozens of times) every time we see IllumiNations, about 45 minutes to an hour after "closing time."

And you were correct about many of the things,
that's why I listed them in the same order with further clarification.

There are also lockers at the IG entrance. When I was staying at BCV, I had a jacket I kept in the locker, in case it got cool. I emptied out the locker and turned in my key at least 45 minutes after park closing.

Okay, I think I'm clear .... There are lockers! Seriously I appreciate the info though it does lead to a few more questions..

By the bus disbatch building? Is that where we catch the buses to resorts? I cannot for the life of me remember a building there, just some sheds.
And what is "IG" ?
Do they have a lot of lockers? Will it be difficult to get one if we're there at opening?

Thanks again everyone! I appreciate your help. I'm trying to get our Christmas game plan lined up. We don't normally do the open to close thing, so I'm a little nervous about it. I want that day of all days to go smoothly!

If you really NEED a luggage-size locker (I imagine they cost more to rent than the regular lockers inside Epcot), they do have them at the bus dispatch building. Yes, its there where the resort buses load. Its a building sitting right next to the farthest resort bus parking/loading area (its hard to miss).

Yes, lots of lockers INSIDE Epcot under Space Ship Earth. If you arrive early in the day, no problem.
If you arrive later on a very busy day, you MIGHT not be able to get one (I always have), but people come and go all the time, and lockers become available at various times when they leave.
I wouldn't worry too much about it.

IG is the "International Gateway."
The "back entrance" to World Showcase, located between UK and France pavillions. Its where guests who stay the the various so-called "Epcot resorts" (Boardwalk, Yacht & Beach Club, Swan & Dolphin) get in and out of Epcot.
Its also where to catch a boat that runs between Epcot and MGM studios.
