I like big purses and I cannot lie

[kfergdisney]

What do you ladies and gentlemen use in the parks to carry your necessary items? Seems like no matter what I bring, I always wish I brought something else. You don't want to have something huge that will weigh you down (and, in my case, probably cause injury to someone else) but something large enough to carry necessary items, ie sunblock, camera, phone, currency, keys, lip balm, maps.

The one place on earth I do not bring my favorite weapon of choice (my 70 lb. purse) is Disney I wear a small cross body bag with a Figment sewn to the strap and I wear a Figment pack because it's cute and just the right size for a few items! My boys take turns carrying the back pack holding the water bottles, sunscreen and mini-umbrellas.

Pockets.

Occasionally, a small purse.

I used to have a mini backpack that would have been perfect for carrying to WDW, but for the love of Pete I cannot figure out what I did with that wonderful piece of canvas.

When my wife was into photography and had a DSLR bag, we used that for everything, she had one with a few pockets.

Lately she has been using a small backpack. Most photos are taken with our cell phones now.

Room keys/park tickets go in a lanyard.

I carry small backpacks. A couple of them are purse/backpacks. They are just the right size for holding a lot, but not being heavy. I carry a small clear backpack on rainy days.

I always bring this Vera Bradley tote that fits across the back of the stroller. but it's annoying. so i'm looking for other options too. i'm hoping to get the point where we bring in nothing but my phone and our room keys/passes

My Disney Dooney is too heavy to carry around the park! So I usually find a cute (cheaper) tote/hobo bag when I get there! Good excuse for buying a new purse huh? I look for a bag that the shoulder strap is wide and comfy, and the outside decorations won't scratch you arm! And most important I have to find one that is deep enough for me to lug around everybody’s water bottles! Seems like no matter how old your kids get you still carry their stuff!! My girls have the Dooney cross body bag! So cute, but way too small! Usually a couple of days I tell them mom is not carrying a purse, so you are on your own!! It's sooo nice!

We go as light as possible. Everything I need fits in my pockets and the wife carries a very small purse. It's about big enough for some cash, Chapstick, and our passes.

 

[trr1]

just my pockets and a 1 gallon zip lock bag to put my Phone and wallet in for wet rides

 

[Soarin' Over Pgh]

I over prepared big time for my trip. I started out with my usual purse (it's an across body-style) that my ipad mini fits perfectly in the back of... then added chap stick, moleskin, sunblock, cash, tickets, camera, batteries, etc.

By the end of my trip it was the bag with card key/ticket, cash, and camera. haha

 

[Disnee4Me]

I carry a small coin purse with a hook on it, which i hook to my belt loop and tuck into my pocket; it has some cash, the room keys in it. I also hook my cell phone case to a belt loop (and old phone), and an eye glass case, which i switch back and forth between reading glasses/sun glasses, and finally on my belt a small camera case ... a tube of lipstick in my pocket and i'm good for the day. No fuse, no muss, no carrying anything. I want to be hands free in the park to enjoy it.

 

[JIMINYCR]

Small backpack w/ 2 water bottle side pockets, front & back velcro pockets on my shorts, lanyard around my neck and I'm good for the day.

Cute title...Haha.

When I go to Disney or travel, we usually bring a backpack or bag to hold kiddie stuff in. (diapers, wipes, extra clothes, light snacks, sunglasses for 5, ponchos, water)

I always carry a cross body bag. My Mom got me a few Travelon brand bags. They broke on my last vacation so I just bought myself a new one with a beautiful blue butterfly on it. It is small but has lots of pockets, which I like. It can hold sunscreen stick, chapstick, cash, sunglasses, coins, card slots (for my PAP, DVC card, licence, gift cards), cell phone pocket, hair tie, small comb, small nail file, gum, inhailor and tissues. I got it from qvc...it's pretty I also have a similar one from coach. I like how they are both a good material so they can be wiped down.

I know there was a debate over people taking "too much stuff" into the parks but these are things I need.

 

[I_heart_Tigger]

I carry a DSLR and a couple of lenses and use the additional pockets in my camera bag for KTTW card, bank card, cash, sunglasses, sunscreen and a notebook and pen. Occasionally I will get a locker and store a rain poncho and a change of clothes - depends on the forecast for the day.

A multi compartment backpack complete with rain cover! Greatest post back to school clearance purchase ever.

Cargo shorts with pockets; I have seen some of the bags ladies carry in the parks and I say to myself "my word I fought a war with less stuff then she's carrying in there."

 

[MOXOMUMD]

I received a small but cute Disney diaper bag (about the size of a kid's shoe box) when my daughter was born that has Mickey/Minnie on it. She's seven now and we still use it as our park bag. All the pockets inside and the water bottle pouch on the outside works great for us.

 

[PrincessNelly_NJ]

me and my fiance bring a light book bag or draw string back pack. It is pretty empty, just camera, cards, tickets, and etc. But we tend to stuff it with all of our shopping goodies by the end of the day!

I don't mind having a heavy backpack because it helps offset the weight of the kid I'm carrying at the end of the day. lol
