What do you do with your purse at Disneyland?

But for the vast majority of Disney World guests, the answer to the ?What do I do with my bag on the rides? question is, ?Take it with you.? Disney allows guests to bring a bag with them into every attraction in the theme parks, with just one exception (see below).



At Disneyland, the standard practice for purses and small bags is to take them on the rides with you. Unlike some parks with mandatory lockers, Disney allows you to bring bags on almost every attraction. On most rides, you simply place your purse at your feet or in the provided mesh storage pouch inside the ride vehicle. For high-thrill rides like Space Mountain or Incredicoaster, it is recommended to put one leg through a strap of your bag to ensure it stays secure during sharp turns. The only major exception where lockers are mandatory is for high-speed, inverted, or unique-seating rides like TRON Lightcycle / Run, where free lockers are provided in the queue. If you have a very large bag, you can rent a locker for the day at the front of the park, but for a standard purse, keeping it with you is the most convenient way to navigate the parks in 2026.

I am happy to share with you that you do not need a clear bag to enter the parks at Disneyland Resort. You can bring in any bag as long as it is not larger than 24 long x 15 wide x 18 high. I usually just bring in a small crossbody bag that I can comfortably wear with just the essentials.

I like to use a small backpack-style purse or cross-body bag when I visit the Walt Disney World theme parks. Many guests use drawstring-style bags, as well; however, I personally prefer something with separate pockets or compartments. I find it keeps my belongings organized and easy to locate.

If it's small enough on many of Disney's rides you don't even need to take your purse off, which is a plus cause you'll never lose it. Or if you're a minimalist, like me, use a fanny pack or bum bag. I'm in love with this colorful Mouse Ear fanny pack. Make sure it's big enough to fit everything you need for the day.

If you want to wear your slippers to the Happiest Place on Earth, you may do so. The only type of shoes that are prohibited from the resort are those with wheels or spikes. However, my motto for shoes at the Disneyland Resort is comfort AND practicality.

In your case, a long skirt, that is not part of a costume and does not actually reach or drag on the ground should be fine. You may want to keep the skirt no longer than shin length, otherwise you may find it difficult to enter and exit the various cars and boats used on the attractions.
