Luggage suggestions?

[Baklava]

We're going to WDW in January and I'd like to put Cupcake's princess dress gift in a suitcase for Christmas morning. (We need a couple more.)

Priorities are:

1. Quality. Needs good wheels and to be easy for a 5 year old to handle.
2. Affordable. We'd really like to not break the bank on this item.
3. Cute. Bonus points if there's a Minnie or Disney themed item that meets the two higher priorities.

Size is negotiable. We're flying SW and taking DME so it doesn't *have* to be a carryon size. We're not at all shy about tipping bellmen and skycaps as needed. Smallish is only important as a factor for the kiddo being able to handle it some of the time.

Anyone have a favorite?

i bought a Heys Disney Donald bag, 26" , super lite hard case, 360* spin wheels, under $100, BUT it it dings and scratches. Check on EBags and if you have AAA, they have deals. Your best bet is looking on EBags for a Disney hard shell, all wheel direction. If you want a generic color to grow with her forever, I have a Heys gray and black, combo of hard and black gortex 22" on EBags that travelers always ask where I got it and what kind of bag it is.
Search for Ebag codes, free shipping and clearance.

There is a VIP event until Nov 17 20% off $75 on EBags

For luggage, my go-to shop is TJ Maxx. They have a pretty good selection at decent prices, and you can handle the bags a bit to see if they are easy to pull, etc.

I don't like to invest a lot in luggage since it gets so grubby as soon as you check it on an airplane...

Keep in mind that if you go for ebags and have an ebates account they are having 10% cash back. I have a few ebags brand bags and they are really well thought out for zippers and pockets and well constructed.

Ebags is the best. Last week they had 20% off and 20% in rewards plus ebates had 10% back and I had an Amex offer. I love ebags. Delsey makes great bags too.

I usually check Marshalls, TJmaxx, Tuesday morning and Ebags.

I tend to buy new luggage every 8-10 years just because I don't want to be dealing with a broken wheel in an airport anymore (been there, done that. LOL)

I got this set on Amazon and my kids LOVED pulling the little ones around. They just thought they were the coolest world travelers! It doesn't come in cute Disney designs but there are many colors to choose from. We love our set because it's light and easy to move. Not to mention it's a total steal and Ebates had another 5.5% back when I checked the other day. Rockland Luggage Melbourne 3 piece set is the name.

Edit: Wanted to add it starts at $110 (depending on the color) for the entire set.
