What is the top must have item for your owner's locker?
We travel down from OH to DW at least twice a year and although we are lucky my checked bags fly free, we are going to invest in an Owner's Locker on our next trip in June prevent shuttling items back and forth.
I've done some research and think I have most of the basics covered, but what are some must have items in your locker that aren't included below?
-Phone/Watch/Magicband+ Chargers
-Shelf stable condiments/seasoning
-Some better cookware
-Sunscreen
-Rain gear
-Cooling Towels/Fans
-OTC Medicines
-Band-Aids
-Bubble Wands (at least for a few more years)

Great question!
We often do short split stays, and we do not check luggage.
We have a couple of collapsable duffle bags. If we have groceries, the non-perishable ones go into one bag and sent with our owners locker and luggage with bell services. We hand deliver our cold items to bell services at our next resort.
We also have collapsable hanging closet storage. Some of the studios do not have much drawer storage with a twin murphy bed.
We order shaving supplies and ship them to the resort and resupply every few trips.
On our next trip, we are adding an AirTag for the owners locker. We have not had any issues, but I have read that their locker got misplaced on property.

Owner's Lockers are terrific. I always like to include a good stash of zip top bags. We use for leftovers or to keep a wet umbrella from soaking everything in the park bag. In addition to meds, I have shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste etc. I also like to keep some pump hand soap as I prefer that to bars of soap. I like larger beach towels at the pool so have a couple of those. A nightlight.

we got rid of our shampoos etc. and just use the wall stuff now, but still have deodorants, hair brushes, toothpaste etc. in ours.
uv umbrellas
I have a mesh hamper for the second bedroom
detergent sheets
scissors
if you cook in the unit:
knives
tin foil
tongs
cooking spray
The small Brita pitcher is a must! Takes out the chlorine taste of FL water and we don’t have to buy bottled water. We also have plastic cups and plastic wine glasses for when we are just in a studio. Rain jackets/rain shoes, beach bag for pool, all of our H&B products, umbrellas, toothbrush holder and also pop up laundry baskets. I also keep tide pods, little bottle of dish soap, and then if we have leftover snacks or alcohol it can go back in the owners locker. Just like DVC points though… addonitis is real and now we have two 😜

Thanks all!, The Brita Pitcher and liquid hand soap are great ideas that I hadn’t considered!
I too think I’ll toss in an air tag for good measure.

We have 4 owners lockers and always stay in studios. We have a small electric fry pan that we use to make eggs for breakfast and the occasional dinner of Mac and cheese, grilled cheese etc. also, Keurig, over the door shoe bag to hold all bathroom/ medical/ toiletry essentials.
We keep room decor for Halloween and spring. We also have pictures of past trips to make the room more homey. We have a removable screen so we can leave the balcony door open at night for a breeze. Laundry hampers, all our shampoos and otc medications such as Tylenol, bandaids, etc.
And of course swimsuits, park backpacks, extra room hooks, a dish rack, an extra fleece blanket, ponchos and rain jackets. Lots more too!
We stay at SSR usually for 2 weeks and we really do make a studio live like a one bedroom, minus the washer/dryer of course!
