Disneyland Paris luggage storage: drop your bags, explore hands-free

Coming in by train, suitcases in hand? Heading home in the evening after checkout? Would rather not haul a heavy winter coat around from morning to night? Luggage storage solves all of that. Below, I cover where your bags can go, how much it costs, and how the system works.

Luggage storage lets you leave your bulky belongings in a supervised spot while you visit. You pick your bags up on your way out. The point is simple: exploring the parks without being weighed down.

You have three places to drop off your suitcases. Disney runs two of them, and the station runs the third. One point often causes confusion: at the park, you won’t find self-service lockers but a counter staffed by a Cast Member. The actual automatic lockers are at the station.

This is the main spot for storing bags. Look to the right as you face the Disneyland Park entrance, close to Guest Relations. Disney runs it officially, and everything happens at a counter: no fixed lockers here, a Cast Member handles your belongings personally. Cash and cards are both accepted.

Staying at one of the Disney hotels? Your bags can go in the hotel’s luggage room, which is usually at the front desk. Disney runs this service officially, and hotel guests pay nothing for it.

The station has automatic lockers upstairs, before Disney’s security check. Important: this service is not run by Disney. The station manages it, not the park. The lockers can’t be reserved and are often full on weekends and during school breaks. Cards and contactless payment are now accepted.

What you pay varies with how big your things are and which option you pick. Here are the three side by side.

You won’t find official measurements from Disney down to the centimeter. At the park counter, it’s up to the Cast Member to decide which size category your things fall into. Below are the three categories, plus a few examples so you can tell where your bags belong.

The Disneyland Park luggage storage is open every day from 8:00 and stays available until 45 minutes after Disneyland Park closes. You can’t reserve: it’s first come, first served at the counter. At the station, the lockers are self-service, every day from 7:00 to 22:00. You pay a drop-off fee, then €5 per item for each 24 hours, up to a maximum of 72 hours.

Don’t mix it up with luggage storage: Disney Express doesn’t hold your things on site, it takes them straight from the station to your hotel. You arrive hands-free and head into the parks without waiting for check-in time.

When you arrive, drop your bags at the Disney Express desk, one floor up in Marne-la-Vallée/Chessy station, between 7:45 and 21:00. You check in to your hotel right there (pre-check-in) and leave with your park tickets, while your suitcases are delivered to your hotel. On departure day, drop your bags at your hotel’s luggage room before 11:00, then pick them up at the station desk between 13:00 and 21:00. The service costs extra (expect €18 per person), must be booked ahead, and is for guests of Disney hotels and Partner Hotels (except Davy Crockett Ranch and Center Parcs Villages Nature).

Got an item that’s too bulky and turned away at security? Luggage storage is often the answer, so check the items banned at the entrance. Before you go, also look at what to pack and the allowed bag size. If you’re staying on site, the hotel luggage room is free: browse my hotel guides.
