Phone and Camera?

[ValarDisneyus]

Hi!

I saw somewhere someone said Baggallini was on Zulily the other day, so I checked them out. Water resistant bags and purses? Awesome. It got me thinking, though, that while I don't want to carry anything in the parks beyond a bottle of water, I kind of need to keep my phone with me. And, of course, my camera. Is a clunky backpack or messenger bag really my best bet? I'd love to know of something as convenient as a fanny pack yet also weightless, invisible, and waterproof.

(Yes, that was a joke. I realize that's impossible, though if the world was capable of granting my every wish, it would be.)

What do you carry in the parks? Is it ever too much or too little? Any recommendations, please?

I carry what makes my life easier...it's the KISS mentality... Keep it Simple Stupid... A camera in a backpack is useless.. It should be always ready.. I carry a Nikon DSLR around my neck on a good strap ( not that thin strap you get )...I have a small hipster for incidentals....not much needed anymore with the Magic Bands..water, never carry, to heavy and there's water for free in the parks.. Bought wife a baggalini few years ago... To big, bulky... She doesn't haul all kinds of crap in the parks... We're not pack animals, we break from the parks around noon so no need to carry stuff we never use...

I bought one of these clip/mounts http://www.amazon.com/Peak-Design-Capture-Camera-MICRO/dp/B00H7JY1GG/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1410374737&sr=1-3&keywords=camera+clip to keep the camera handy.
Will either wear a VERY small cross body bag for phone/lip stick/ wallet or carry the phone on my belt too.

I carry a Nokia Lumia Icon (cellphone and camera), leather business card holder (ID, medical cards and cash), chapstick/lipstick, and a travel size advil tube with meds in it.
It all fits in my pacsafe http://www.ebags.com/product/pacsafe/slingsafe-75-gii-anti-theft-sling-and-hip-pouch/229058?productid=10174413

I can even get my Nikon AW100 in there for water shots if I want.

Like the previous poster...K.I.S.S.!

I just bought a Bandolier phone carrier! I'm so excited. It holds the iPhone 5 and money/credit cards. With my magic band, that's all I need!!!

(no, I'm not affiliated with them at all - just saw them advertised in the Oprah magazine and had to have one!! Scroll all the way down under "shop" to the 40 dollar model - it's cute and functional!! I'm excited to use it at my upcoming WDW trip!
