Hey there, Valerie!
Welcome to planDisney! I'm so excited to see that you are already on your way to Walt Disney World Resort, and I hope my answer reaches you before you arrive for a fun-filled
EPCOT afternoon.
Though
locker rentals are available at the entrance of each park, unfortunately, they are offered on a first-come, first-served basis and cannot be reserved in advance. Jumbo lockers are only available at the main entrance of EPCOT (as well as at Magic Kingdom Park), but quantities are limited. My friend Elaine mentioned that
"virtual lockers" were available at the International Gateway back in 2024, but I'm not sure if that's still the case.
I can't guarantee you'll have access to a jumbo locker when you arrive, as
EPCOT International Festival of the Arts kicked off over the weekend and the park is alive with guests enjoying all the
artful food, exhibits, and live performances. You may want to make a pit stop at your Disney resort to drop your bags with
Bell Services first, just to save yourself the worry and potential backtracking.
Keep in mind that if you do head straight to EPCOT, you will need to go through security with your carry-on item and should expect to have the bag opened and reviewed thoroughly before continuing into the park.
Valerie, I'm sorry I didn't have better news for you today, but I'm crossing my fingers you'll be able to secure your items without too much fanfare. If you need some guidance on what to see, eat, and experience during your visit, please don't hesitate to come back to planDisney and let us know. We're always happy to help!
Magic and memories,
Amy
