I’d be worried that some restraints might be pressing down onto your phone awkwardly. But, then again, I generally have my phone in my front pocket, not my cargo pocket, so maybe it wouldn’t matter.
I think people need to not worry about what they look like in various attire in the parks. I mean, seriously…look at the people around you. Everyone is dressed less than their best. It is about being comfortable and having a good time!
Cargo pockets in amusement park? It is a sign you are a true hardcore…a serious park-goer!
But, having said that, I think finding cargo pockets is harder for women than it is for men. And even in my case, I don’t like wearing the cargo pockets that stick out and are messy looking. I have nice flat cargo pockets that, when you have nothing in them, don’t even really look like anything other than a zipper. on your thigh.
Based on this discussion, is it safe to say that a regular sized back pack would not fit into the free lockers? I am talking about one that a teenager would use for school.
Single-time use lockers are available at the attractions listed below. The standard-sized lockers (14 in x 5.5 in x 16.9 in) for small loose articles are free while you ride. Larger lockers (12 in x 13 in x 16.9 in) for oversized items can be rented for $2 during the posted wait time and an additional $3 per 30 minutes, with a $20 per day maximum.
The free lockers are pretty wide and deep, but not very tall. I have seen people empty knapsacks, put the knapsack in the locker and then put their other stuff in the locker.
Old lost but just learned about this and it sounds ridiculous
So a regular backpack would fit if we take stuff out? We would have large water bottles. I couldn’t take my purse either - it’s a messenger bag. I’m wondering if it makes sense to rent a stroller for a day and keep the backpack there. On the fence about strollers in the first place with a 6 and 8 yo.
What are these codes? We would be offsite so how does this work?
These attractions you cannot take any type of bag/purse, etc:
Mummy
Gringotts
MiB
Forbidden Journey
Hagrids
Fanny packs are allowed though for your belongings (phone, keys, wallet, etc.) You can also use cargo shorts with the pockets that close for these things too.
These attractions have metal detectors so absolutely no bags or items can go with:
Hulk
Velocicoaster
Rip Ride Rockit
The small lockers are free for the ride duration at all locations. Note that they are small. Mini-back pack, sling bag, etc. will work. A larger bag may not fit, and you will have to pay for a larger locker.
We took larger items (water bottle, extra shoes) out of the regular size backpack and used two free lockers - one for backpack, one for its contents. It worked fine.
Sorry to bring this up again as I’m re-reading things - I’m not doing any of those rides so then a bag is premiered elsewhere except water rides. For JRA, I will put stuff in a large locker - they have large ones there, right?
The water rides do have lockers to rent yes. But honestly, it’s just a couple splashes on JPRA especially if you sit in the inner parts of the boat. I wouldn’t worry about water getting inside your bag. Now the other water rides are different.
At the risk of being that person, I would just encourage you to consider if you really need a big bag. I’m a mom and recovered pack mule, but have gotten myself down to a small waist pack/belt bag deal for UOR. I have my ID, health insurance cards, and a couple of credit cards bound together with a hair elastic, chapstick, tissues, small hand sanitizer, small sunscreen, small pain reliever bottle, maybe some powder for my nose, and my phone. I would rather just pay for drinks in disposable cups/get water for drinks than carry around a cup/ bottle. It’s very freeing to not haul around a bunch of stuff. You might need a lot less than you expect.
I used a collapsible cup last trip. Got free ice water from the many Freestyle machines. And just asked for a cup of water at the food places when I was there anyway. I didn’t miss the water bottle.
