Baggallini messenger ... will it hold enough for family?

[loveysbydesign]

I've been reading all the posts regarding the Baggallini Messenger bag and was thinking of getting one...it's our 1st trip to WDW and my kiddos are 3 and 6. Will it be large enough to hold the supplies we need or should I get 2..one for dh and one for me. My kids are major snack eaters so I want to be able to pack snacks them along with all the other stuff we'll need for the parks.
If anyone has any other type/brand of bag they'd recommend I'd appreciate it!

We used to take a backpack when the kids were smaller. No purse either.

I'd be interested to know more about the messenger bag also...I've got one saved on eBags but I haven't purchased it yet. I have a nice LL Bean hip pack that I usually use in WDW but it doesn't have a place to put a drink and I'd rather have something I can put over my shoulder rather than around my waist. We used a backpack once but we didn't really care for that (although it was my DH's Camelback so we had cold water all day which was nice).

I just bought the Baggallini Messenger bag off of Ebay. I bought it for our April trip to WDW. So I have not gotten a chance to use it yet but I would be happy to answer any questions you have.

Like loveysbydesign, I'm wondering how roomy it is (for packing snacks, camera, camcorder, etc). I went ahead and ordered one since eBags was having a 10% off sale and free shipping that was ending last night. They offer free returns so I had nothing to lose. I also ordered the teenee bag.

The bag is not all that big. It is about 12" tall and 8" wide. It does have alot of inside pockets but I guess it depends on the size of the camera and camcorder. But honestly, if you carry a camera and a camcorder I don't think it will have alot of room for snacks. I really like the bag but we don't carry alot of snacks and stuff with us, since we are on the dining plann this trip

Hmmmm...maybe I will get 2 (one for dh and one for me to carry).. We could use one for just snacks and things and one for the camera, cards, tickets etc...I just want to make sure I get something that's lightweight and waterproof!
