- You can drop your bags for any flight at any of our desks from 2 hours prior to departure."

Yes, all bags, parcels, and personal items are subject to thorough security screening at Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort in 2026. Security procedures include a mix of visible and non-visible measures, such as advanced contactless security scanners (Evolv technology) that allow most guests to walk through without removing items from their bags. However, if the scanner flags a specific shape or density, a manual bag check is required. Prohibited items include weapons, toy guns, marijuana, and loose ice (reusable ice packs are recommended). Additionally, bags larger than 24" long x 15" wide x 18" high are not permitted in the theme parks. Uniformed police and specially trained hazard detection canines also patrol the entrance areas to ensure guest safety.

For easyJet flights, the standard bag drop opening time is 2 to 3 hours before your scheduled departure. At major hubs like London Gatwick, bag drop typically opens exactly 3 hours prior, while at smaller regional airports, it is often 2 hours. If you are flying from London Gatwick or Berlin Brandenburg, easyJet offers a "Twilight Bag Drop" service, allowing you to check your bags between 6:00 PM and 9:00 PM the evening before an early morning flight (usually those departing before 8:00 AM or 9:00 AM). This service is free and can significantly reduce stress on the day of travel. Regardless of the airport, easyJet mandates that all bags must be dropped and passengers must be through security at least 40 minutes before departure, though 60 minutes is highly recommended.
