Bag to take on Rides

[monkeypat83]

I am taking my 21 month old next week. I had an AP most of my adult life but this will be my first time going with a toddler since I was the toddler. I am bringing a stroller and her diaper bag etc which will fit in the stroller basket. I don't want to have the haul the diaper bag out of the stroller to go on each ride so I was thinking of bringing another small bag to grab when we go on rides with my wallet and phone since I don't want to leave those in the stroller. Does that sound reasonable and what type of bag would you recommend? Anything else I should put in the little bag that I would not want to leave in the stroller?

I generally took a small string backpack that held my wallet, keys and phone. It was easy to wear on rides and didn't require me to juggle things in my hands while chasing a rambunctious toddler. The other thing that I did was get a phone case that has a card slot in it. Mine holds a credit card, my drivers license, my insurance card and my ticket easily and then I carry a bit of cash in my pocket. Then I didn't even need to carry my big wallet to the park with me every day (it just stayed locked in the safe in the room).

Anything you leave in the stroller is basically fair game to someone who wants to steal it. Disneyland is generally pretty safe but there have been cases where someone has just taken a whole stroller and walked out of the park with it.
