Got a new Disney Bag today!!!

[brymolmom]

I am constantly thinking about what to bring on our vacations. I'm sure I'm not alone on these boards. So, for our August trip - I am planning on bringing minimal things with us to the parks. I used to be a 'bring everything' person. But this will be our first long trip to WDW minus the stroller (we have done a DLR and quick Christmas trip without, but haven't refined the bag situation as of yet), so I want to cut out anything and everything I can. That brings me to the what bag to carry question...What I try to do is have a bag (backpack) for DH to carry and then I carry a over the shoulder bag to keep the camera, tickets, money and anything else I want to keep right in reach. I hate when the backpacks end up too heavy - so I want something smaller and lightweight.

At Goodwill today...I found a very small Eddie Baur backpack for $4!

It is just big enough to put our ponchos, autograph book and sunscreen. It also has two small side pockets for bottles of water.

I think it's perfect!! Woo hoo!

Good for you! I love a good find!
Our Goodwill here is awful, they overprice everything and now look stuff up on Ebay to get top dollar. That bag would have been at least $15 at our GW.

Our Goodwill is the same way. Tee-shirts (ratty or brand new) are all $4.95. I can get them cheaper at Wal-Mart!

Sounds like a good find, OP! (Though the thought of a used backpack skeeves me out. Probably because our Goodwill is so gross. )

You can wash a fabric backpack.
