If you went in with no bag

What did you take? I am seriously thinking of going bagless in February. I think if I just have my phone, sunglasses and magic band I might do just fine.
 
i see no problem doing that.
if you were going in the summer i think you would need to carry a bag for waters and other necessitates for the heat.

we usually have one person bring a bag and rest go bagless.
 


Are you wanting to do this so you don't have to carry anything, or to skip the bag check? I've had mixed experiences with bag check and the no bag line. My husband never takes a bag unless he's taking camera gear with him. His hands-free approach is that he needs three things: Wife, Wallet, Phone and he's good to go. I like a small across the body purse that holds ID, credit card and my phone so I always go through bag check. Sometimes he gets through faster, but most of the time since they added the scanners he gets selected for the body scan and I end up waiting for him.

Hands free is a great way to enjoy the parks, but your miles may vary if you want to save time at bag check. Have a wonderful trip :)
 
This might not apply to the OP, but if you have anything that gives you discounts, bring that, too. DVC card or AP discount card, for example. (no, the MB doesn't give the discounts unless you get a CM who is breaking the rules)
 


I never bother with water - you can get it for free at any counter service location.
we like the convenience of having it with us.
some of us have anxiety and water bottles are helpful if we feel if an anxiety attack is coming up rather than standing in line to get one.
 
Just back from WDW and went bag-less for the first time ever. I took my phone, a power stick, charger cable, small bottle of sun tan lotion, and MagicBand. Hat and sunglasses on my head. Eight days in the parks and never wanted for anything else.
 
I never bring a bag into the parks. I have no desire to carry that much stuff around. I have my ID, a credit card, my phone, and possibly a small point and shoot camera. I don't need anything else.
 
A kleenex or 2, lip balm, a bandaid, and a folded copy of my spreadsheet :)
Our camera is small so I just carry it.
We've never been in the park and found we wished we had brought something since we've started going bagless.
 
During our four trips this year we have gone bagless every time. DW and I bring our phones and magic bands and that's it. We have never experienced problems with computers going down so MB charging has always worked great. Others may not want to risk being without cash or an ID but for us it's worked out well so far.

Good point! I forgot about that. Although we always keep the cards on us just in case.
 
I rarely go bagless unless we are going for just a couple hours. I put ID, credit card, hand sanitizer, and small amount of cash in my pockets. This time of year, I carry an umbrella or folded up rain poncho.
 
I don't use purses in every day life so I just bought a regular wallet and have my ID, cc, cash and AP cards, that's in one pocket. In the other my phone and my lipstick Mickey charger and a short cable. My small, collapsible umbrella with a snap hook, so I just hook that to my belt loop on my pants.
 
I read a tip on these boards a long time ago to bring a cheap drawstring bag that you can fit in a pocket. When you are inside you can unload your pockets into it.

This was helpful since somehow we ended up accumulating stuff along the way like half eaten popcorn or candy.

I got my son this phone case: https://www.amazon.com/Vofolen-Resi...cratches/dp/B00X3O8L1U/ref=zg_bs_9375357011_5

It holds 3 credit cards and a folded bill or two.

I am thinking next time I will use this with a credit card, id and a $20 while wearing my MB. I will let everyone carry their own junk!
