Rides You Cannot Bring Bags On All bags not secured around the waist must be stowed in lockers on these rides. Small lockers for handbags and small backpacks are free and larger lockers are available for rent/hire. Universal's lockers are quick and efficient – just scan your ticket at a kiosk and a locker will open.

Management of bags at theme parks varies by the specific park's ride vehicle design. At Disney parks, the general rule is "take it with you"; almost every ride has a storage pouch or floor space for backpacks, with the exception of TRON Lightcycle / Run, which utilizes a double-sided locker system. In contrast, Universal Studios and SeaWorld are much stricter; many of their high-speed coasters prohibit bags entirely. For these, they provide small lockers near the ride entrance that are free for the duration of your wait and ride (controlled by your park ticket or a fingerprint). For larger items or all-day storage, every major park offers rentable lockers near the main entrance, usually priced between $10 and $25 per day. If you have a stroller, many guests choose to leave non-valuable items like snacks and extra clothes in the stroller in designated "stroller parking" areas, which is generally safe but relies on the honor system.
