Ok, so I know it's not a Disney park, but when I do WDW, I do the Universal parks too. So this is the first time I've been to Universal since they've put this whole locker system in. You know how they say you can't ride certain rides with bags so you get a locker free for the first hour? Which is funny cus I've riden some of those rides with bags before with no problems, but I can see it for the rollercoasters. If you're not familiar with what I'm talking about, basically they take a fingerprint scan and assign you a locker and you use your fingerprint to retrieve your stuff again. Well, right off the bat I had to try 3 times to get a locker cus they make you scan your finger twice, but when you place your finger on the pad a second time it often reads differently if your finger is resting on it in a slightly different way. Well I did this system many times through the course of my two days there and always remembered my locker number and all that and didn't have problems getting my stuff back other than having to re-scan my finger sometimes. I even started to help people use the machines who were having troubles. So the last time I do it, I go to retrieve my stuff and I couldn't remember my locker number. I did the number I thought it was at the machine I thought it was, but it wouldn't work (take in mind for the ride I was on there were 12 seperate machines of lockers I could have used with I think 50 lockers per machine). I had done this so many times before, why was I spacing now? Perhaps it was the few drinks I had 
. I went and tracked down a guy working there to come help me. He went through locker after locker and we could not find my stuff. So by this point I'm thinking perhaps someone stole my stuff. We went to the other machines and tried them and didn't find anything. In the midst of this a girl comes up to him and tells him that she just tried to rent a locker and it opened up a locker with someone's stuff in it and there was a nice camera in there and everything and she just thought he should know that they weren't working properly and she could have just stolen someone's stuff. So now I'm convinced my stuff is stolen, but the guy just shrugs it off and tells me that someone didn't use the lockers properly and it was their fault. The guy still hadn't checked all the machines yet, but I could tell he was getting annoyed. He eventually told me that I need to come back an hour after close time when they've gone through all the lockers. This was going to be at 8pm and my ride was leaving at 6:30pm so this was no good. Now two women come up and tell him their stuff is missing as well. He begins looking for their stuff, leaving me just standing there. Then he goes off and does something else (I have no idea what). The 2 women and I (mind you they barely spoke English) were freaking out at this point. Luckily a woman who worked there came over and started to help and they found my stuff finally after an hour of looking! I hope the other 2 women got their stuff, but I didn't stick around to find out. I was too panicked to ride any more rides after that. So just a recommendation, bring a pen and some paper if you go to Universal and write down your locker number! I honestly didn't think I'd forget, but alcohol and remembering are not always a good combination.

Good point!
