Bag ?

[lilys.mom]

We are leaving in 2 weeks!!!!!

I need help deciding on what type of bag to bring into parks. On our first trip I took a backpack. This trip I am thinking about only taking a cinch bag from 31..........but am scared it wont be big enough.

I usually like to bring a change of clothes, sunscreens, wipes

I am also going to carry a vera bradley lizzy purse with me...kind of like hipster but a little smaller, for things like money and gift cards and my flip vidoe camera...


So which would you bring?? big backpack or cinch sack..

and what items do you bring in the park if you have small children??? Thanks.

I have make a couple of backpacks out of suffed disney character. We are in disney after all. I have done Mickey, Minnie, Pooh & Eyore, Chip, and Pumba in the past few years. You star by taking the stuffing out of the body. I then take an old tshirt of DH. Cut off the sleeves and bast that and the neck hole closed. I then sew this "pouch" into the body with the openening where the body has been opened. Then attach snaps or velcrow to close it. Then I sew on some nylom straps so it can easily be carried. I can usually find the stuffed toy at a thrift store for very little money. Smaller ones make great change purses. At the end of the trip I give them away to a young child I run into. There always seems to be a child in a wheel chair and it always puts a smile on their face. I like to spread a little pixie dust before I leave.

I personally don't like the cinch bags because of the rope straps. They get uncomfortable during the day and if I get a little sun burnt it really hurts! I have a small back pack with a padded strap and a cross body bag.

I've found that using a back pack works best for me. Of course, it's a Disney back pack.

I'm leaving in 2 weeks from today.

I have to have a backpack...It's not a large one, but I still need one to hold our stuff.

I've never brought changes of clothes and such though. We pack as light as possible, if the kids get dirty they just stay dirty. No biggy.

I am not really worried about dirty so much but wet...I have girl and she doesnt like to feel wet..so if we are somewhere she can get wet she will and will immediatley want to change.

I always bring a backpack with me to the parks. I usually keep a couple snacks, drinks, and ponchos. Also, I leave a lot of room in case we buy anything. I use an over the shoulder backpack so I don't feel like I'm carrying anything.

Are you taking/renting a stroller? If so, it won't matter about the straps because the bag will be in the stroller. And then you can carry your personal items in your little purse.

My bag is 8 x 4.5 x 1.5. It's tiny but will hold my cell phone, camera, cash credit cards and tickets.
