Don’t panic! They have a bag check service—like a coat check but for your oversized tote. It usually costs a few bucks, but honestly, it’s way better than walking back to the car. (Although walking back to the car is a great way to get your steps in.)
However, don’t count on it. The bag check can fill up fast on busy nights. So do yourself a favor: check the policy online before you leave the house. It takes two minutes and saves you a headache.
If you’re really paranoid, just bring a ziploc bag. Seriously. It’s clear, it’s tiny, and it’s 100% Whitewater-approved. You’ll look like a pro.
