Two Years of Dreams at Chip & Company!

It is absolutely crazy to believe, but November 26, 2012 marks the second anniversary of my time here as a writer for Chip & Company!  I wanted to take a moment and look back at some of the incredible times that I’ve had with Chip and all the other great writers here on staff.  I am not the longest running member of Chip & Company, but I am proud to say that I am one of the older ones, and all those young whippersnappers – especially Sierra — better remember to respect their elder! Two Years of Dreams at Chip & Company!

My first post was about one of my favorite Disney treasures — my 1928 Mickey Mouse jacket!  The jacket wasn’t made in 1928, but it was celebrating the creation of the King of the Mouse himself, Mickey, and when I got it for Christmas in 2000, it instantly became my favorite Disney treasure — one that I proudly wear to this day!

Some of my early posts included my top 5 Character Dining Restaurants, planning a Multi-Generational Family Vacation, and lastly, one of the great Disney Hidden Treasures: Customized Maps!

Peter Pan, that classic movie that has spawned rides all over the world, is coming to Disney Blu-Ray on February 5th, 2013!  Why so late, you ask?  Well, that is because that is the 60th Anniversary of the original release of the movie!

Disney World Quick Tips – Locker Rentals at Walt Disney World

Disney World Quick Tips   Locker Rentals at Walt Disney World

Often the question is asked, can you rent lockers at Walt Disney World?  The answer is yes!  Locker rental is an additional fee, but if my memory serves me correctly, the fee wasn’t a terrible expense.

Here are the locations where you can rent lockers:

  • Magic Kingdom has locker facilities available adjacent to the wheelchair and ECV rental location.
  • Epcot  has lockers in several locations.
  • Near the west side of Spaceship Earth
  • At the International Gateway (these are considered unattended lockers)
  • Oversized lockers are available at the Bus Information area.
  • Hollywood Studios has lockers available near Oscar’s Classic Car Souvenirs at the main entrance.
  • Animal Kingdom has lockers available both inside and outside the main entrance.
  • Typhoon Lagoon has lockers available adjacent to the main dressing room and also by Hammerhead Fred’s Dive Shop.
  • Blizzard Beach has lockers available at Snowless Joe’s.
  • Lastly, at Downtown Disney lockers are available at the dock near the Cap’n Jack’s Restaurant and at the marina rental window.

If you need a locker, I hope that these locations help you out!  I don’t think lockers are used all that much, but it’s good to have them available as an option, especially in the case where you might be leaving that day and have some time to enjoy before your flight leaves.  How often do you utilize the lockers at Walt Disney World?
