Omg, I am so tired of someone turning and whacking me with their extreme mountain survivor backpack. Can Disney limit the size of the backpacks that someone can walk around with inside the parks?

Cmon, someone must agree with me

I've rocked both the Kitchen Sink and Enduro 2.0 30L bags from Oakley in the parks. I usually keep camera gear in it like my tripod, so during fireworks its used as a weight.

That being said, I am diligent to turn around, and do so to make sure that I won't hit anyone. However, I've been hit by more strollers, then backpacks. Hell, even more strollers then ECVs.

I however did once accidently trip a kid Infront of Cinderella's castle, because they ran right across me, while I was mid-step so that was not my fault.

Who carries around a huge bag in 100° though?

I do, and both bags are black with some grey, and it can be upwards of about 5-6lbs. When it's my carry-on, more around 10lbs.

I think people with small children use them. You can keep sunscreen, snacks, water, diapers, etc. in them. You can also put any souvenirs you've purchased in them. My back sweats just thinking about wearing one in the parks, though.

Yes, but people still had small children before backpacks became so popular. Somehow, they managed without them back then.

I wear a backpack all the time when I go to amusement parks. It's a day pack that can carry an umbrella, my refillable mug, and my portable charger. In the winter, I shove a jacket in there. If it's a bad breathing day, my portable nebulizer can go in there. I'm used to wearing a backpack and I'm only five feet tall, so usually, the only people who get whacked by me are children who aren't paying attention, and generally, I try to watch out and warn them to stand further away.

I won't argue that there are some people who aren't used to wearing a backpack and aren't aware that they're taking up more space...but also, don't stand so close to people. Just because Disney is trying to pack you in like sardines doesn't mean you have to stand right up against the person with the giant backpack.

I don’t, the people in front of me with backpacks are not the problem, it’s the people next to me, who stand close to me, who turn for a selfie or to chat with a friend and then whack into me.

Yeah, those are the people who I'm referring to who are unaware of where they are. They definitely exist.

But so do people who stand too close. Can't help ya if you're trying to test deodorant strength.

I’m always amazed with the strollers that look like half their owners worldly possessions are in them, I get the need for a diaper bag, etc but some of them look like they’re about to collapse under the weight of all the junk in/on them.

I saw several strollers this week at DL that looked like little trikes with a stick and handle and on every one the kid was grinning from ear to ear. I wish Disney would replace their huge strollers with little trikes like those, they took up probably 1/3 the space.

That would be a fun thing to try, no deodorant in a disney park for a full day in July.

The one and only ( Never again) August trip I took when the heat and humidity was excruciatingly unbearable, I could have bathed in deodorant and after 10 minutes in the park I was soaked in sweat.
But Ive been to Dis at other times of the year and been in line next to someone of european persuasion that obviously didnt believe in deodorant.

Disney limits the size of backpacks. It's the same for both coasts. No bag or backpack can be larger than 24" by 15" by 18". If anything larger than that gets in the parks, it's because a security CM didn't do their job.

The larger issue is that security CMs don't know the rules they are paid to enforce. This is not an unfounded attack; it's the truth. I have had conversations about this with security CMs who have worked in the parks for decades, and they can't tell you how large tripods or backpacks can be, among other things.

The problem with security at DL is getting out of hand, but that's a discussion for another topic.
