Hi Michele!
Thank you so much for sending this
Disneyland Resort planning question to us hEAR at planDisney! I'm happy to be your planEAR today!
Yes, the
rentable lockers that are by the Picnic Area (as well as the lockers inside both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park) are
after the security checkpoints. While
smoking is not permitted inside the parks,
hotels, and the
Downtown Disney District, I do want to point out that tobacco products are
not on the prohibited items list. This means that you should be able to carry your items with you through security to make it to the locker area, or you could even keep your items with you in the parks (ex: in a purse or backpack). However, the smoking areas are now outside of the security areas, so depending on where you
parked or
where you're staying, it might be less work to store your items in your car or hotel room and go there when you need to take a break.
Thank you again so much for stopping by planDisney, Michele! Be sure to check out the
official planDisney Instagram account, as well as our
brand new planDisney Podcast, for even more tips and tricks. And if you have any more Disneyland Resort planning questions, We're All Ears!
