Luggage Storage experience/report at DLP/Chessy train station

[thndrmatt]

Hoping no one repeats our experience. If you’re staying offsite and thus not using Disney Express luggage storage at the train station (who were fully booked yesterday) and also find the regular station luggage storage is fully booked (which it was on a Sunday at 9am) you’ll get directed to store your items at the parks themselves. Turns out this is only at DLP (not the studios contrary to what the gate CM might tell you) and is at the far right of the DLH entrance prior to entering the park. You will initially have to clear security with it all (yes the full size checked bags fit through the scanners). They then had one window taking payment and basically every train dumped another few dozen people in line so it took something like 90 min to get the luggage checked, also cost something like 50 euro for 6 bags of mixed sized. You’ll also have people cut through the handicapped only line as “VIPs” to the same singular window throughout the waiting process.There’s about a million ways to avoid this but wanted to give people the worst case in case they run into it. We got off the train at 0845 and my poor wife didn’t meet us in the park until about 11. Another fun fact the 1 Euro train station restrooms take Apple Pay.

That line can be terrible.

Last Saturday we were the only one in line, first of the day at 8am. But we ran into a new cast member being trained. And I know they need to train on the job, but can you have that shift start a bit earlier so they can go through some procedures before people start arriving and before you should be open. We waited 5-10 minutes before they opened the window and were ready for us.

They sometimes try to speed up the process by one CM already take down how many bags and which size, writes it down on a paper, which you hand over to the cashier.

Tip for who ever plans to leave their luggage, if you are staying onsite, leave it at the hotel. Yes, you have to walk back and forth, but that time is way less frustrating than waiting at the parks.
To be honest, I have no idea if you can leave it at the hotel if you are not staying there.
