Anyone packed with the spacesaver bags??

OP- you said this was for a Boppy pillow for WDW right? i dont see how the roll type bags would work with the boppy (at least not very well) If you are staying onsite why not call over there and see if they have a vaccum with hose attatchment? if they do i am sure thye would let you borrow it for this purpose.

This is what I was originally thinking too (that the Boppy would be too hard to use with the roll up bags). I read some reviews on the WalMart website for the bags that they sell that roll and three of the four said they were junk. That was a question I had in my original post- wondering if mousekeeping would let me use a vacuum to repack when we check out. I think I will just do that and get the ones from JC Penney that use the vacuum. I can always look for the $5.00 pump at WalMart that a pp posted about. Glad to hear that people arent experiencing wrinkles in the clothes.

I again recommend the vaccuum from Walmart. I have used the roll up bags and never liked them. They were always too hard to remove all the air and they always opened on me.
I don't think the housekeeping staff have the type of vaccuums that use hoses. I have only seen them with the floor type without hoses or attachments.
I own at DVC and we have vaccuums in each of the units and they are the push type also, no hoses.
Have you ever looked in the corners or along the furniture lines where the floor vaccuum can't reach? Very dusty!

I am definately going this route, thanks Mickey527. Is this the same type of pump that you use with an air matress? My mom has two air matresses and I will probably see if her air pump thing will work with the bags. I know that hers has a reverse on it because we have used it to suck the air out of her matresses when putting them away. Cant wait to get these bags and not have the suitcases quite so crammed full!!
