Overland Donner Bag

[aprild873]

My bag was delivered Friday. It can hold quite a bit of items. I went with the green color because I own way too many brown and black bags already. This will be a bag I highly recommend.

Aprild873, glad you like it! We leave tomorrow morning, I can't wait to try my bag out in WDW. I know it is going to me just the thing with a baby!

Mrs. Disney Ron suggested this bag to me a few weeks ago and then I got a great discount code thru another Donner thread. I'm *SO* glad I read through all the "bag posts" and made a decision based on what I felt would work best for me.

I got the Donner bag 2 weeks ago and I love it! I got it in the red with the black/white flowers on the inside. My kids think it's the coolest thing and even my DH said he would carry it sometimes (he would neve wear my girlie purse/backpack thing. ). I hope that when I go back to WDW on 4/16 that I love using this bag in the parks. I'll be sure to come home and give my opinion!

Sorry to hear that I missed Mrs. Disney Ron before she went back to the world. I hope she's having a blast!!!!!!!

Well, my other bag arrived today for my daughter. It's the slate/plum but it does look more pink. It is so cute. I love the colors. She was happy because it matched a camera case that I purchased for her last year.

It's a very pretty color and I highly recommend it as well. Anyway, just wanted to share my thoughts on our 2nd purchase. Hope Disney Ron will come back and share thoughts on the bag from their visit or anyone else going soon.

Got my bag on Monday (black/black). I was surprised by a few "extras" I didn't know where featured. I thought the whole bag was a tri fold and was delighted to find a zip up purselike compartment (really roomy). I was also nervous about the water bottle holders. I didn't want to walk around the park with them just sticking out on either side for everyone to see. The two holders are sort of hidden and you barely notice that they are there. Love love love love love this bag. It might just get worn out before my trip to WDW LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just bought one too! Black. Wound up spending about $37. Can't wait to get it. Sounds just about perfect. I got it from Ebags and used the Google check out for the $10 off. More than I normally spend, but worth it in the long run, I think! Thanks for the advice!

Add me to the list. I got the Aloe Dahlia. I can't wait to check it out!

Your going to love it. Can't wait to hear back from those at Disney now using it for the first time. I hope they post because I'd love to hear their thoughts on it for the park.

I used it over the weekend for camping. My daughter loved having her drink and snacks in her bag for the ride there. Next month they have a field trip to the Hershey Chocolate factory and I'll definately be taking my bag along.

Hi Ladies,
Well, we got back from WDW on Monday. I love my Donner bag. The bag worked out perfectly. I loved it when we were on rides, I always knew exactly were DS bottle was. The zippered pouched on the front flap worked out great for our APs. I can not say enough about it. Main compartment held a diaper and wipes which was extremely handy.

This is the best travelling bag I have ever used.

I got it today and it is all that I hope for. Very sturdy bag...adjustable strap...I am very pleased!!!! Can't wait till I get to use it in WDW

After reading all the recommendations for this bag, I ordered one last night in the aloe/dahlia color scheme. I used the Baggalini messenger on our Disney trip last June, but I wasn't really thrilled about the organization. Everything seemed to fall to the bottom and get jumbled together. I'm always on the lookout for new bags, so hopefully this will be just what I was looking for.

Welcome back Mrs. Disney Ron, thanks so much for your feedback of your actual experience with the Donner bag in the park.

I picked up this bag at REI before our trip to the world in 2005 and LOVED it. It was so handy and kept everything I needed close at hand. The main compartment was also large enought to slide my DSLR camera in on some rides. Just LOVED it.

I'm going to start packing my Donner bag tomorrow - we leave on Saturday for Florida and hit Disney on Monday 4/16. I will let you all know how I like it. I'm so glad to hear about it's use in the parks and how well everyone is loving their bags! My boys think it's the coolest thing.

Hi Ladies,
Just curious if any of the Overland Donner group is going for free dining?
I am so excited DH surprised me by booking a September trip! I am so excited my donner is going to get more use at WDW.

How awesome for you! I love that he surprised you with this trip and that you get to go back earlier than December!

I leave tomorrow! I'm filling up my Donner bag right now. I can't wait to use it next week.
