Hi Sarah! Welcome to planDisney. Picking out those special souvenirs is such a fun part of a Disneyland visit. Whether it’s a pair of Mickey ears, a new spirit jersey, or a keepsake that reminds you of a favorite attraction, those treasures help carry the magic home long after the day ends. I’m happy to help you find the easiest way to shop without carrying everything around the park.
I’m happy to share that the answer to your question is yes! During your time in the parks, you can take advantage of the
complimentary merchandise hold service currently available at
Pioneer Mercantile in
Frontierland and
The Star Trader in
Tomorrowland. This handy offering allows you to shop to your heart’s content without lugging bags around all day. Just bring your purchases and receipts to one of these locations, and Cast Members will hold onto your items for you until later in the day. When you’re ready to head out, simply stop by to pick up your treasures before the park closes. It’s a great way to keep your hands free for clapping along with the Disneyland Band, snapping a photo in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle, or taking a whirl on the
Mad Tea Party.Another option to consider is using the
locker rentals available around the resort. Lockers can be found in the Esplanade (the area between
Disneyland Park and
Disney California Adventure Park) as well as inside both theme parks. In the Esplanade, you’ll find two locker stations: one located to the left of the Disneyland entrance and another to the left of the Disney California Adventure entrance.
These Esplanade lockers come in several sizes to fit a variety of items: Small (9.5 inches wide x 11 inches tall x 18 inches deep), Medium (12.5 inches wide x 17 inches tall x 18 inches deep), Large (15 inches wide x 16.6 inches tall x 22.6 inches deep), Extra-Large (15 inches wide x 23 inches tall x 22.6 inches deep), and Jumbo (18 inches wide x 25 inches tall x 37 inches deep). Inside the parks, lockers are located on
Main Street, U.S.A. in Disneyland and on
Buena Vista Street in Disney California Adventure, though those locations currently offer small and medium sizes only.
A quick reminder: The Esplanade locker stations are accessible during regular park hours, but overnight storage is not permitted.
Sarah, I hope this helps make your shopping plans a little easier so you can focus on enjoying the magic around you. If any other questions pop up while you’re planning, please feel free to visit us again here at planDisney.
Enjoy your visit!
