Organizing a backpack or bag for a day in the parks.

I have hit upon a solution to what may be a common problem.

If you pack costume/princess dresses/ or change of clothes to take into the parks, they have a habit of spreading out into the bag and becoming an amorphous blob of clothing.

I tend to pack a couple t-shirts and a change of socks for everyone and at least 2 costumes and found that after the first time putting one costume away and taking another out it was mayhem in the bag for the rest of the day.

So for this trip I grabbed a couple of those reusable lunch bags they put kid meals into at Subway. They have disney themes, the current ones are Gravity Falls. Each bag has a velcro flap top and (with a little pushing) will hold one costume or the t-shirts and socks. Packed like this you can take one out, put another in, root around in there for the sunblock, and everything behaves itself.

That's a great idea! We have a ton of those subway bags, I'm going to try this on our next trip.
