Orlando as a destination and what it means for your bags

Heading to Orlando with a few hours between your rental checkout and a late flight, or landing before your room is ready, often leaves you juggling a suitcase you'd rather not drag around.

The airport itself has a staffed storage desk, so that end of the trip is covered, while the big parks tend to bar suitcases and wheeled bags outright, with only ride-specific lockers or a coat check to fall back on. The airport, Disney, Universal and SeaWorld each have specific rules. Orlando is widely recognised as a premier global tourism destination, famously known as the Theme Park Capital of the World. Orlando also serves as a significant business and convention hub, anchored by the Orange County Convention Center, the second-largest convention facility in the United States. Orlando is a major industrial and hi-tech centre with a significant technology industry. With Stasher, you can store bags from $2.49 per bag per day.

Luggage storage at the airport and getting out with bags

Orlando International Airport has a staffed luggage storage facility in Terminal B, Level 1, open daily from 9:00 am to 8:00 pm, so a bag can be dropped there before you head into the city.

Brightline's high-speed rail service runs from the airport station to South Florida, with its stop at 10705 Jeff Fuqua Blvd linked to all terminals by pedestrian bridge. If you're heading towards downtown instead, LYNX bus route 311 gives you a non-stop express to Sand Lake Road SunRail station in about 12 minutes, and all LYNX buses leave from Level 1 of the Ground Transportation area in Terminals A, B and C.

Bag rules and lockers at Orlando's theme parks and attractions

Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista lets you into its four theme parks and two water parks, but suitcases, coolers or backpacks larger than 24 inches long by 15 inches wide by 18 inches high are not allowed inside, and no luggage is permitted on resort buses.

Universal Studios Florida goes further by prohibiting suitcases or any wheeled bags entirely, though lockers are available at specific rides like Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts, MEN IN BLACK Alien Attack, and Revenge of the Mummy. SeaWorld Orlando also bans luggage, wheeled bags and suitcases from the park, so anything beyond a daypack needs a plan before you reach the gate.

The Wheel at ICON Park applies the same 24-by-15-by-18-inch limit, and Immersive Van Gogh Orlando requires large bags to be checked at the venue's coat check for a fee. Universal Studios Florida is known for its immersive experiences based on movies, featuring roller coasters, animatronics, special effects, and themed entertainment.

Getting around Orlando with luggage

The I-Ride Trolley runs its Red and Green lines along International Drive daily from 8:00 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., which suits a light bag but not a suitcase stacked against a stroller.

Arriving at Universal Studios Florida means walking from Universal hotels, the water taxi dock, or the bus station and parking structures, so anything you don't want to carry into the park should already be stored.

SeaWorld Orlando's hours shift through the year and Disney World may require a theme park reservation depending on your ticket type, so checking both before you set out with bags in tow saves a wasted trip.
