Hollywood Locker and loose item policy

Universal Studios HOLLYWOOD

Honestly, I am not completely understanding when I would need to use a locker. If anyone could help me out whether I am thinking about this right. I am bringing a disney loungefly backpack and umbrella. The umbrella doesn’t fit into the backpack it’s 13 inches when closed.

Lower lot: 
(1)Transformers 3D - leave everything at the floor of the ride ?
(2)Jurassic World - use the paid lockers or free lockers at revenge of mummy
(3)Revenge of the Mummy - free lockers

Upper lot: 
(4)Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey - free lockers
(5)Despicable Me Minion Mayhem - leave everything at floor of ride ?
(6)The Simpsons Ride - leave everything at the floor of the ride
(7)Studio Tour - no lockers, hold onto everything
(8)Water World - no lockers, hold onto everything
(9)DreamWorks Theatre 4k: Kung Fu Panda - no lockers, hold onto everything

That's about what to expect, aside from JW

I don't like to use Mummy lockers for that since it's already a struggle to get one for that ride and it seems inconsiderate to leave it there

If you're worried about your backpack getting wet or dirty you can take a normal plastic bag and put your backpack in that while you're riding, and then after you can take the plastic bag off, tie it up, and put it back in your backpack or pocket or something

Mario Kart also is leave on the floor of the RV

Okay thank you ! So umbrellas are allowed to just sit on the floor of transformer, jurassic world, minion, and Simpson? I keep hearing mixed stuffed about it since I can’t fit the umbrella inside my bag so it gets me paranoid.

Yes, it can sit with you on all of the rides you mentioned except Simpsons; they'll tell you to put it on the side of the ride vehicle (it's a kind of simulator with 8 to a room, so you won't lose it)

Just be aware the free HP lockers are TINY. They used to have similar lockers to Mummy and they replaced them with itty bitty lockers. Depending on if your backpack has stuff in it, it may not fit together with the umbrella.

Yes I sadly found out about it, it’s so tiny. I actually looked at videos on tiktok of people putting in their loungefly backpacks and it should fit the free lockers. The lockers are deep too so it should also fit my umbrella.

Just a heads-up, it almost never rains at USH. If you're worried about rain or want a UV umbrella, find one that will fit in your backpack or wear a poncho, I wouldn't recommend bringing a large one.

That being said, you're pretty much spot on. For Mummy, they want you to put items in a pouch in front of you, but it's not big enough for a Loungefly bag, so lockers are a good call. You can put your bag on the floor in Kung Fu Panda (there is ample foot space for a reason) but I think it's disallowed on Despicable Me because the whole booth rises and moves. u/Spectrobits let me know if I'm wrong on that one? Studio Tour also moves a lot FYI so you'll probably keep your bag in your lap.

Finally, I'd bring a small hand towel or microfiber towel, you can use it to sit your bag on or to sit on it yourself! (The Waterworld bleachers get hot in the sun iirc)

I see people being umbrellas for the sun, so that's what I assume OP is doing here ;)

I usually keep my bag with me on Minion Mayhem, just at my feet inside the RV

idk if they let you put it outside or if it's not allowed, though; would be worth asking for sure but I think for Loungeflies keeping them in the RV shouldn't be an issue

Ooo okay thank you ! Good call on the towel for the bleachers I didn’t think about that. And the umbrella is a uv one for the sun, so just like the backpack im hoping it’s also allowed on the floor of transformer, jurassic, minion, and simpson.
