A Halloween Adventure in Autism (11/12) New Thread Begun on TR Board!

[joy13]

I get emails when threads I subscribe to have updates and when I saw in my email that you had gotten your new bag - I got all excited - LOL! That's a bit crazy I think. What a great bag - can the strap be expanded so if you wanted to, you could put it cross ways (like your bagganlini)? I'm just thinking that much stuff is going to cause a sore shoulder no matter what kind of bag you have - but if you can give your shoulder a rest once in awhile by changing the position - it should be fine.

I need a modeling photo!!!


Do you have a stroller to throw that thing on???? That's a LOT of stuff to be carrying around!!! It's giving me a back ache just looking at it!!!

Love the bag, it looks great! I too packed up my bagallini when I got it to see if it would work, lol.


My kids love the Ichabod & Mr. Toad movie. One thing you can research for your Oct trip is the Haunted Carriage Ride. We did it last Oct on our trip and it was great. DS8 was kind of spooked but not enough to cause a problem. It was a carriage ride at Ft. Wilderness, they ride you through the wooded area and play the Sleepy Hollow story. There's even a surprise at the end! I don't want to give too much info but if you want details just PM me. It used to be a big wagon ride but they changed it to personal carriages last year, not sure what they'll do this year but you might look into it.

Wow, that bag will hold it all!!

I love that bag. I really like using my creative side to make my bags, I was planning on making a denim messenger bag with a Minnie applique and also a Epcot bag. If I get ambitious I may make an Animal Kingdom bag.

But, I really like the shape of that bag....

I wish I could sew! Those ideas sound so cute!
The bag is like a deep messenger bag...there's even a firm divider between the main compartment and the long pocket inside that feels like its padded with some kind of foam. I suppose that's so you can carry your laptop...

.... What a great bag - can the strap be expanded so if you wanted to, you could put it cross ways (like your bagganlini)?

The strap is adjustable!

Of course, I probably won't be carrying all this stuff every day... I was just curious to see how much I could fit inside!!

Really, though, without the water bottles it was very comfortable. But, then again, I tend to carry a large bag every day, so I'm accustomed to the size.

Thanks for getting all excited for me!!!

I'll get one on tonight!
The stuff is actually more bulky than heavy...

Love the bag, it looks great! I too packed up my bagallini when I got it to see if it would work, lol.

Well, you put your feet inside new shoes to see if they fit... it makes sense to put your stuff inside your bag to see if it fits!!

Wow, that bag will hold it all!!

I think it will.

The only thing that I'm anxious to discover is whether it is easy to find items in the large main compartment. I found that the front pockets can't hold too much bulk... only the flatter items like phone, tissues, maps, wallet, etc.

Perhaps I can use the water bottle pockets for other things if Ed carries the water...

lol on the sweet talking hubby into carrying it. DH always carries a backpack so generally "my" park bag really becomes the jacket tote and gets tossed in a locker when we arrive and picked up around dinner time when it cools down. Everything else fits in my cargo pockets...or Dh's backpack!

 

[mousescrapper]

Kathy I love the test run of the bag...so clever and I when the flap didn't quite come down all the way....

You rock Pro-Diz Mama!

I'm loving all this bag talk today!

I spent an embarrassing amount of time (the kids were at school, )

At the Dis today on the Bag Thread (on the Tips board), looking at pictures of people's Disney bags

A girl has to have the right bag for a trek through the World!

Last trip, I had a Baggallini back pack style (I use it as my purse, now). This time, I want more of a hip style (so I don't have to take it off every time I want to open it)...

Can't wait to see your model photo!

Ed carries a backpack, too, and he usually takes the heavier stuff for me!

I would feel naked without some kind of bag on my shoulder!

LOL! I don't mind... I'm the kind of person who doesn't want to need something and not have it with her!!

Thanks!!

I'm sure that ALL your bags are packed, right?!

Nope -- none of them actually! I have to do laundry before I can pack. That will be our fun tomorrow and Friday.

Really, you wouldn't! You wouldn't have to stick it in the cargo pouch on the rides or put it in your lap. You wouldn't have to switch shoulders or adjust a darn thing. It's amazingly freeing.

It is however, predicated on a few things to really make it work.

1. Assume you won't need your glasses, Rx sunglasses (if you need them!) will have to suffice. But the glasses are in DH's backpack with DH's reading glasses!
2. Assume that either DH is carrying the poncho's or you will have ample time to grab them out of the locker.
3. Assume your camera is small enough to go in a cargo pocket.
4. Assume that you have a small card holder that will hold the essentials (ID, CC and KTTW), and it also fits in your pocket as will a small amount of cash.
5. Decide that lipstick/blistex can live in the backpack, as can the binder, bottles of water and sunscreen.

LOL! I find capri pants with 1-2 side cargo pockets that close (for security) are the bomb for Disney. Or really all travel! I don't like things in the front pockets, that is unsightly and not comfy once you sit but those side cargo pockets, for small flat things...perfect! They fit fastpasses quite nicely.

I like knowing my bag is there if I need it and for when we go from park to park or park to a resort for dinner, but in terms of walking around all day
I LOVE not carrying hardly anything!

I have to say...I love the bag but wow, that's a lot to haul around now that I see it in the picture! It would be headed to the locker for sure (for me). LOL!

Me too! Kathy, that bag looks marvelous. How do the shoulder straps feel? Are they sufficiently padded?
