What can I do with luggage at Disney World while waiting for flight?

Yes, if your flight back home is late in the day after your Resort check-out time, you can store your luggage with Bell Services at the Resort. Bell Services will give you a luggage claim ticket to provide to them to retrieve your luggage when you are ready to leave for the airport.



If you have checked out of your hotel but have several hours before your flight in 2026, your best and most convenient option is to use Bell Services at your Disney Resort. Disney hotels will store your luggage, including carry-ons and strollers, in a secure room for free (though a small tip of $1–$2 per bag is standard when you retrieve them). This allows you to spend your final day at the parks or Disney Springs without dragging suitcases around. If you are staying off-site or want your bags closer to the park, you can rent jumbo-sized lockers at the entrances of Magic Kingdom and EPCOT for approximately $15 per day; these can fit most standard rolling carry-ons. For full-sized luggage that won't fit in a locker, the Stroller and ECV rental locations at the front of each park will often store large items for a $10 fee per piece. Additionally, if you are flying with a participating domestic carrier, look for "Resort Airline Check-In" services, which may allow you to check your bags and receive your boarding pass directly at your hotel, sending your luggage straight to the airport for you.
