Universal’s Island of Adventure water rides! 💦
Most rides at Universal that require you to put your items in a locker to ride are free HOWEVER… the water rides do not offer this as a complimentary service.
There are💧 2 water rides, Dudley Do-Right’s Ripsaw Falls and Popeye and Bluto’s Bilge-Rat Barges that are close to each other so ideally you could just leave your stuff in those to ride those both.
WARNING ⚠️ you WILL get wet on those! 😜
Jurassic Park River Adventure is a little ways down from those, I personally, will just take my bag and put it at my feet. Your head and shirt are likely to get wet, but your feet area usually stay dry enough to put your stuff down there..
PRICE for lockers: the small ones you see in the left picture are $5 for 90 minutes. The large lockers are $6.. we are able to put three day packs in the large locker along with our refillable cup . To rent the locker you’ll need your park ticket to open the locker, I recommend having some sort of lanyard to expedite the process!  make sure the pouch can seal with your park ticket inside so it doesn’t get wet.

When you stay at a Universal Orlando Resort hotel, you get complementary transportation to both theme parks and Volcano bay!

✨📢 FROM DISNEY PARKS BLOG!!
On July 24, Walt Disney World will introduce new, simpler names to provide more clarity for everyone. Disney Genie+ service will become Lightning Lane Multi Pass, while individual Lightning Lane will now be known as Lightning Lane Single Pass.

We will also be updating Lightning Lane passes to help you:

Make Lightning Lane plans before you’re here, for added confidence.
Choose your experiences and times prior to purchasing, so you know what you’re getting.
Book Lightning Lane passes for multiple vacation days, all in a single day.
Here’s how Lightning Lane passes will work beginning July 24.
Lightning Lane Multi Pass
When you purchase Lightning Lane Multi Pass, you may make up to 3 Lightning Lane selections in a theme park, in advance of your visit. You’ll also be able to choose available times as you make your selections.

On the day of your visit, once you use a selection, check the My Disney Experience app for availability to make an additional selection.

Lightning Lane Single Pass
Lightning Lane Single Pass will work much like it does today, where you can secure a time to ride one of our most highly demanded attractions, but you’ll now be able to make your purchase and plan in advance.

How to Plan Ahead
Guests staying at a Disney Resort hotel and other select hotels will be able to plan Lightning Lane passes up to 7 days in advance, for their entire stay (up to 14 days). All other guests can plan up to 3 days in advance.

These advance purchase windows will let guests secure some of their must-do rides and experiences after they’ve had some time to decide what dining reservations they want to book and any other plans they may need to consider.

Guests may purchase a Lightning Lane Multi Pass, a Lightning Lane Single Pass or both. The app will also be updated to make it quicker and easier to purchase and plan, with fewer steps and a new option to purchase Lightning Lane Single Pass and Lightning Lane Multi Pass in one transaction.

Lightning Lane passes will blend features from our current services and the previously offered FastPass+ service, giving guests the choice to plan ahead and removing the hassle of planning during their vacation.
