A Salute To The Sandwich Bag

[plaz10]

Also wonderful for carrying body wash, shampoo and other liquid type substance in a suitcase. When my body wash explodes mid flight - I thank my sandwich bag for keeping all my other clothes clean and dry.

I pack with them and bring the to the park. They are a MUST have.

I will never go to another theme park without a couple of those saviors. Last summer I read about things people bring to WDW and that was fantastic for our Oct '12 trip.

A couple weeks ago, we went to our local Six Flags and went on their rapids ride. My wife put her phone in a baggie and put it in her pocket. After we got off, she realized she didn't have her phone. We got back in line and when our "boat" (#23) came back around after being ridden again, we found it next to one of the seats still sealed in the bag...phone was perfectly fine!!

Once we tried to film our ride on a rapids adventure (Thunder River) at a local Six Flags using a digital camera. We had the camera inside a plastic sandwich bag the entire ride to protect the device from any water. Sure the video came out okay, but the sound was horrible as all you could hear was muffled noise through the plastic. Now there are stricter camera rules in place for rides such as these, and probably for good reason.

Next trip I want to test the tip that if you put your camera and lenses in zip locks at night they don't get condensation when you walk out of an air conditioned room.

 

[Jane Whalebones]

Yep! We never go to the parks without them!

I usually round up some Ziploc bags the night before and stuff 'em in my carryon. They get use. Bob brought a tear to my eye... *proceeds to cry*

I tried this in Disney at the beginning of the month and it didn't work. I've since heard that you need to use a good quality/thick plastic bag with the air removed before sealing it. If you find a way to make it work, please let me know. I hated cleaning off the camera and lens everyday, and worrying about condensation inside the camera.

And Here I thought this thread was going to be about people that bring in their bologna sandwiches.

well, there's that too.

Better add that to the list, Bob.

Will do. I guess I don't help the situation by putting the a.c on Arctic freeze setting !

My husband does the same thing. I think my kids and I are the only people who go to Disney in July and bring sweatshirts.

Since the room is so cold, this year I put my camera bag inside a closet to keep it out of a direct blast from the air conditioner. It helped a little bit.

Now I feel kinda guilty for throwing mine away when the snacks are gone.

I never even said a prayer or anything.

LOL, the OP reminds me of this:

Actually the OP reminds me of the old Bud Light commercials.

Today we salute you Mr. Sandwich Bag Inventor!

Went to a local water park today and carefully sealed half my belongings in sandwich bags before we went - when my son saw me sealing away my phone and asked what I was doing I was tempted to say, "making Bob Saget proud".

 

[crispy]

I thought you were going to talk about filling them up while at the Disney buffet of choice.

 

[Jimmy Thick]

Personally, I leave my belonging in my room, so I have absolutely no need for a plastic sack.
