Best bag to carry

[violentlyserene]

I'm sick and bored so I've decided to take the day to find a new bag to take to Disney in October. We'll have two two year olds and two adults with us. I'd like something easy to keep organized and quick to get off and on and something that will be comfortable to hold during rides. We'll have a stroller with us for some of what we'll want accessible but I'm not sure what to put in a bag vs stroller yet. Thoughts there would be really welcome too.

I use a Lug Life Cable Car Satchel. It's a messenger bag, so I don't have to worry about keeping it from falling off my shoulder. I keep my wallet, extra diapers/wipes, snacks, and a first aid kit and take it with us on all the rides. We keep a backpack in the stroller with extra clothes/diapers/wipes/rain jackets. I also keep a small blanket and stroller rain cover under the stroller, and those can stay in when the stroller is folded.

I have a Vera Bradley backpack (this one) that I take to the parks and I love it. It's lightweight and can hold a ton.

For my fully loaded days. I do a lightweight backpack because it is just so practical. On days when I want to go light, I got a Vera Bradley Disney themed hipster. It carries a lot more than you'd think (camera, sunscreen, tissues, hand sanitizer, sunglasses, ex).

I am going with 3 month old twins next week. We plan on 2 backpacks but leaving everything in the strollers. Prior to babies we were the bagless type so we already keep phones and such on our person. If people want to steal bottles, diapers and baby blankets from our strollers more power to them. I am packing a few extra "copies" just in case a bag does grow feet and walk out of our stroller though (actual backpack, bottles, changing pad, etc). I hope the extras just stay in the room all trip, but I like to be prepared.

JuJuBe backpack - lightweight, antibacterial lining, organized pockets, comes with a matching changing pad, and the crumb tunnel is ingenious. We cloth diaper so our gear is a bit heavier than sposie folks, and we have no issues being out several hours a day. Pre-child, we were bag less and carried everything in cargo shorts, so we really try to be minimal.

These are good suggestions, thanks! I'm thinking I'll need to get a ring sling for carrying in between stroller rides so that will have to go in the bag too.

I took a backpack with lots of pockets/spaces to keep sunblock, pull-ups/wipes, snacks, etc organized. I bought a Vera Bradley hipster bag in Disney though to hold my phone, ID, DVC/AP cards, small amount of cash, sunblock, park time guide, etc so I had those things on me when we go in lines for attractions. I only took the back pack out when we needed it for a pull-up change or longer meal or needed to grab some snacks for a long line, but the hipster was big enough to hold a few small snacks and a bottle of water while in line...great time to refuel and reapply sunblock and pass the time in a long line!

I put all the diapers, bottles, change of clothes etc in zip lock Bags under the stroller so people could see all they would be taking were baby items. Not sure if it helped or not be we didn't have any issues.
