Question layover in Orlando short trip to Disney

[liza_a]

Hello everyone quick question. I'm going to Peru in Juy but I have a very long layover in Orlando. I'm a DVC member and an annual Passholder so me and my sister are thinking of going to Epcot because we have time. I will have a carry on so I was wondering would I be able to have the Boardwalk hold my carry on if I'm at the park but I don't have a reservation? It would just be for a few hours I just don't want to have to hold it at the park. Thanks for any input!!!

I am sure that a resort would hold your bag even you probably should be staying there. Handing bell services a few bucks goes a long way.

How are you going to get from the airport to WDW? Possibly the quickest and least expensive way will be to rent a car, which would solve your suit case issue. You don't want to go to the Boardwalk and have them refuse to hold your bag. I'm not saying they won't hold the bag, just don't know for sure.

I'm just taking a cab because I've rented a car before in MCO and every time i've done it's taken awhile to get the car, don't want to waste time. Thanks I may just ask Bell Services, otherwise I can hold on to it, its just a little annoying. But anything just to get to spend some time in Epcot instead of the airport thanks for the responses!

There are luggage lockers located near the bus information booth @EPCOT that would easily fit carry on luggage.

Agreed.

OP, sign up with National's frequent renter program and you'll just pick your car from whatever aisle you rented.


The one time I ever asked at a Disney resort if they would hold my bag (DisneyLAND Hotel) they absolutely refused.

Do what works for you. Not sure if I would want Disney Security opening up and looking through, not to mention rolling it around and leaving it if you go on a ride. Also the rental car IF you sign-up for National (as Bumbershoot suggests) you just grab the car and go. There are other rentals that do this as well.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions!! I really appreciate them! We'll see how everything works out, if it gets too difficult to manage I may just check in my carry on and leave it at that.
