The Rules About Bags in Disney World

In Disney World, there are a lot of decisions to be made.

Do you pay to skip the lines or deal with the wait times and save some money? Are you dining at a table service restaurant and need to book a reservation 60 days in advance? Do you have at least a rough day-by-day plan for your vacation so you’re not flying blind? And one of the most important questions, though a lot of people don’t believe us when we say it, what bag are you going to bring?

This may not seem like that big of a deal, but in Disney World, having too large of a bag can sometimes mean it’s not even allowed in the park, or it’ll make it really difficult to ride certain attractions.

While Disney World isn’t like Universal in the sense that you need to put your bags in lockers for the majority of attractions, TRON Lightcycle / Run in Magic Kingdom DOES require lockers, and they’re not very big. Meaning, if you’ve got a large backpack that doesn’t smush…good luck. Plus, Disney World’s official rules state that your bag cannot be over 24″ long x 15″ wide x 18″ high.

So a smaller bag is certainly the way to go, but you don’t want a bag that’s SO small it can’t fit the essentials you need (which are typically a phone charger, phone, water bottle, an anti-chafe stick, sunscreen, any medication you need, etc.). See? There’s a lot that goes into it! But not to worry, we have some solid suggestions, like the ODODOS Mini Belt Bag!

This bag comes in over 20 different colors and is a fantastic size for Disney World trips. We’ve used it tons of times in the parks, and we love how it matches with almost anything we wear.

And if you prefer a bag that can fit your water bottle more easily, we don’t blame you! The WATERFLY Crossbody Sling Backpack will also fit in those TRON lockers.

This bag is great for fitting some longer items, like a short tripod if you’re filming, a cooling towel in its container, or an extra water bottle, along with your other essentials.
