Need the perfect MOM bag for 1st trip w/kids

[Juliann1024]

Since most of my itinerary planning is done, I am focusing on the rest.
I feel like a great bag will make or break my experience. I also want to be able to use it when I am not in Disney.
I have 2 kids (6 and 4 1/2) so I am used to carrying some stuff for them, but not so much that I need a backpack. We will also have a small stroller with a basket underneath so we can put some things in that too.
I would like a cross body bag also if possible.
Any suggestions on bags you found to be the perfect Disney Mom Bag
thanks!

I always use my Vera Bradley hipster. I like it because it has so many pockets. a zipper on top, is light weight, large enough to hold what I need, but not huge, and is a cross body bag with an adjustable strap. I have 4 kids and I have successfully used just that bag (and our small stroller) for 4 Disney trips. Vera Bradley often has them on sale too. Soon they are selling Disney theme ones! Good luck finding that perfect bag!

Thank you! I'm not a big one for accessories IRL, but I did find at Disney that I was the one who needed the biggest, most well-organized bag so I could be prepped for all the little what-ifs and not have to shell out $$ for poor planning. I have six months to go and will definitely be looking for tips on the perfect just-big-enough bag.

Check out the LeSportsac It's a Small World collection. I've been collecting the prints in different styles of bags. I like the Kasey for a small cross body and Cleo is medium and more roomy. LeSportsac also has other styles available but not in the IASW prints.

I agree with this! LeSportSac is a great brand that can take a ton of abuse. I picked up a Tokidoki version second hand and it is very roomy and a crossbody.

I also have another messenger type from them in a different print, but this is the style. It's also a nice roomy bag with pockets. It doesn't zip shut, but does have clips to close the lid of the bag. http://www4.images.coolspotters.com/photos/380691/lesportsac-shimmery-messenger-profile.png

I am bringing the first one on our trip next week. We will use DH's trusty backpack in the stroller with snacks and water.

I have the Overland Donner bag. I like it because it has a pocket on each side for a sippy cup or water bottle. It's the bag I use when I'm done with a big diaper bag but not quite ready for a regular purse yet because I still need a few small things for the kids.

That's a really snazzy looking bag! The price is right too.

I have this Baggalini in black, so I can use it at the parks, as well as at home. LOVE it!

It's a really great size for me. My wallet, phone, keys, 1 diaper, travel pack of wipes,a sippy cup, DD's epi-pen and Benadryl,a small toy or 2.......plenty of room.

I have this Baggallini bag also. I bought it for our trip this past January. It is absolutely perfect for Disney.
