Soarin bag storage question

[Bowler Hat Girl]

What happens on Soarin if your bags don't fit under the seat in the little storage area? I may have a fairly full backpack with me when I get to Epcot tomorrow, and I don't know that it will fit. Will I be able to just leave it on the floor? Will a cm take it? Or is my only option getting a storage locker?

Just leave it on the floor.

Leave some stuff at home...you are on vacation.

Depending on the size, it can stay on the floor or be placed off to one side.

Not actually, it's a work trip. I'm just cheating a bit and grabbing some park time! That's why I've never had to know this answer before

 

[Bowler Hat Girl]

Thanks everyone, that sounds easy enough!

Last time we were there we had a small backpack that we just propped against the railing on the sides of the aisles so it would be out of the way.
No one cared and it was (of course) sitting right there when we came back down.

I know in California people leave their flip flops right on the ground so they can slip them back on when they land. A CM will move your bag if it's a problem.

I always have a backpack with me -- has my camera gear, allergy meds for DD7s severe food allergies, and some First Aid/Sunscreen sort of things. I just leave it on the floor when we ride Soarin'.

Shouldn't be a problem. Enjoy!

I always leave my crocs out of kicking room on the floor.

No guest will walk around the platform whilst you're riding.

Here's a question- is there any way to stay on the platform while the ride is in motion?
I'd love to watch it sometime.
Maybe next time I'll leave a camera on the ground pointing up.

If you are a CM you can stand over in the safe zone.

I wouldn't think it would be safe...what if something falls? Or there's an emergency stop? Not a great idea.

As a guest, absolutely not. Huge safety concern.

You have to check them at the counter, of course. Sorry couldn't resist.

Unattended bags at Disney may cause a problem. At Disneyland bomb squads are called pretty frequently because someone has put their bag on the floor a little too far away from them.

I was thinking the same thing.

See, that's where I want to be.

Yes, large bags are permitted into the theatre, but if they're too large to fit in the under seat compartment, just leave it on the floor in front of you and a CM will move it to the side. Yes, it will be right there when you return. No, no one will touch your stuff. Also, no guest is allowed to stand on the floor while the ride is in the air. The only person on ground floor is the CM in the Tower position watching the video monitors. All the other Cast scan their rows and the areas, then safely leave the theatre before the flight is initiated. It's also the Tower CM's duty to check the cameras looking at the ground floor to check for "lost" guests.
