Have you ever used an Owner's Locker?

We are seriously considering doing this. Our family purchased two DVC properties this past year and we plan to go several times a year. We would like to leave a lot of things down at Disney so we don't have to pack them every time we go. It will make checking baggage easier and we might be able to just do carry on if we leave all the big stuff down in FL.

We don't care for the water so we are thinking about things like a water pitcher & filtered water bottles. Sunscreen, toiletries, dryer sheets, detergent, umbrellas, backpacks, first aid items, kitchen items....

We are going down in about a month for a short trip and we are going to pack some of the stuff in our checked bags and then leave them down there in our locker. We figured out the cost is totally worth it with the extra baggage fees. Sometimes the cheap flights are the ones with baggage fees so this way a carry on is all we would need.

Came here to see what people were thinking but it looks like the conversations are pretty old so I thought I would add my thoughts!

Thanks for bumping this up..I didn't know these existed......interesting.....

Hubby discovered them and we have decided this is worth it! So much of the stuff we take is the same every time so why not just leave it down there. They deliver the locker to your DVC home and pick it up so it seems like a great idea to me.

We are also thinking about leaving a couple of jackets for those chilly nights. They take up a lot of room in your suitcase.

I looked into this for my family when we first joined DVC and we decided that it just wouldn't work for the way we travel. I think that if we went to WDW on every trip then it might have worked for us, but we rotate through DCL and DLR too. I also wasn't sure that I had that much "extra" stuff to put in a box to make it worth it.

As much as we go, its still not worth us doing it. We drive and can take everything we need, although I could have put the Christmas tree in one and scrappy could have it then when we go at times towards Christmas!

For a mere couple of hundred bucks a year, you'll no longer have to pack a tooth brush and toothpaste when you go to Disney World- think of the convenience!

Seriously, unless you have a brood of kids, and spend three weeks a year down there, I can't see this.

Flying down to Disney at least twice a year and not having to pay to check bags more than makes this worth it for us! Leaving a lot of the things you can't carry on in the box makes traveling a lot easier. We are flying down on SW in a couple of weeks & get two free bags so we are putting our stuff in the extra suitcases and then leaving our goodies in FL. Next time we go in February we can do carry on bags with no checked bag fees or the hassles.

NHshorty has one and we find it very convenient. Having laundry detergent, shampoo, toothpaste, wine glasses, cork screw, pool stuff, condiments, Disney gear, etc already down there reduces the tonnage you have to bring down.

If we went more often we would definitely get one. For now we only go once a year but when the grown up kids start coming with their families we will probably all chip in for one. That way if saves on packing all the stuff needed for the kids.

We just got one this year. We've got shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorants, etc., along w/ wine glasses, beach towels, a bathing suit for dh... I don't remember what else.

If we drove down, I wouldn't see the need for one either. But having to fly down? It's really nice not to have to worry about some of that extra stuff!
