What organelle does the glycogen accumulate in glycogen storage disease?

Well where is glycogen stored. . .

cytoplasm

Pompe's does involve the lysosome. But the rest I think are in the cytoplasm.

Also, lysosomes for type 2

Yep, the whole point of making glycogen (instead of leaving it as glucose) is so that you can keep it readily accessible in the cytoplasm without it being a huge osmotic burden
