I wish they had the bagallini in a store somewhere...anyone know if that is the case?

I'm not sure if they have them where you live, but I saw them in The Paper Store (the big Hallmark stores).

Let me start by apologizing up front...I have not read all of the post on this thread...so if someone else has previously mentioned the same bag...OOOOOPS!!!

I loooovvve the small messenger bag from www.disneyshopping.com.

Originally $19.50...on sale $12.99!!!!

Holds EVERYTHING plus SOME MORE!!! Comfortable over the body, pad at top of shoulder, easy access to everything, zipper pouch for cash & KTTW, cell phone holder, etc!!!! I easily stored 3 bottles of water, 2 rain pouches, snacks for the day, park maps, etc! My DD8 carries one too!!

I recently purchased a wonderful bag that I am very excited to use! It's the Overland Place, the smaller sibling to the Overland Donner. I've been looking for a small crossbody bag to use (I don't like backpack style bags), and I finally found one that is tiny yet spacious! If you are looking for a small bag that won't weigh you down, yet carries everything you need, consider the Place. Sierra Trading Post has them on sale: http://www.sierratradingpost.com/p/,97469_Overland-Equipment-Placer-Bag-.html

I will be bringing a regular size backpack to keep in my stroller with the bulk of my supplies (I got one by High Sierra), but I'm still deciding on what bag to use for valuables/neccesities to wait in line with and bring on the rides.

I'm currently deciding between two bags of the bags that I received -- the Baggallini messenger/sling in black crinkle nylon and the REI Nikole Day bag in black which is a backpack/sling. I've bought and returned at least a half dozen bags from ebags so I could test pack them, and decide what works for me.

The Baggallini fits everything I need with plenty of room to spare, and with the addition of a seatbelt shoulder pad which I still need to get, I'm sure it will be comfortable on my shoulder -- without the pad, the bag is too close to my neck to be comfortable without the additional padding. The REI Nikole bag gives me the added benefit of being able to wear it as a backpack if I end up being bothered by a strap across the front of my chest, but it's bigger than I need, and heavier than the Baggalini. Also, it's a bit more akward to use because it has less pockets/compartments, and it's deeper so things will fall to the bottom.

I'm still on the lookout for more options though. I will definitely bring a small lightweight backpack and a nylon drawstring bag just in case the bag I bring ends up not working for me. Since I'm driving (from Miami) and I don't have to worry as much about how much I pack, I'd rather pack a few options because I've been on a few vacations that were made less convenient by bringing the wrong bag.

Knowing me, I'll probably buy something at the park that will end up being the bag of choice.

I just ordered a Heys bag from HSN. It was a couple of dollars cheaper than the ebags price, and the shipping was around $6. I was debating about the baggalini, but for the price difference and all the "bonuses", I decided the Heys was the winner for me.
Here's hoping!!!

I also carry a Baggallini Messenger bag.

I just got the cutest Mickey backpack from the Disney Store that i"ll be using on our next trip. We have small kids (1 in diapers) so we need a little more room. This back pack has pockets on each side that holds both kids thermos' well, a big compartment for change of clothes, towel, ponchos or any larger items, another big compartment (that is as tall as the first but not as wide) and 2 small compartments. The small compartment on the top has slots for cards and ID. The small compartment on the bottom is big enough to carry diapers and a pack of wipes. And best of all, it has a very cute pic of the mouse on it I love it and have been using at a diaper bag already. The straps are padded and very comfortable and it can be personalized. They have other characters too. It's on sale right now for $12.99

I am new to the site, but have used it a lot the last 6 months preparing for my upcoming trip on August 3rd staying at CBR and decided to join the posting when I felt I had something to offer. I have this great bag I use for hiking and day trips made by Mountainsmith. It is lightweight and has a lot of room. It also has the added benefit of being made from 25 recycled plastic bottles. It isn't cheap at $80.00, but if I can have a great bag and do my small part for the enviroment, then it was worth it!

You can get them at Mountainsmith .com, the bag is the in the lumbar recycled series called the Day recycled bag. It has a padded shoulder strap as well can be worn as a lumbar bag.

Invest in the Strapettes!!! It is $25 well spent!!!! I too carry a Mountainsmith Lumbar Day Pack, with a 70ml Camelbak Dromedary attached to the strapettes.

I carry the Baggalinni messenger too. I have it in red and black but my newest one is the new animal print. I have the giraffe print:

I just ordered this pink messenger today because of someone's suggestion. Thanks

I just order the Derek Alexander Leather - North/South Top Zip Shoulder Bag in black

 

[poohbear8]

This is the bag DH wears. We love it!!! I bought it at Walmart for $12 five or six years ago in the back to school supplies section. It is small and doesn't get in the way. Yet is large enough to carry everything we need. The one strap is starting to pull or fray at the top so I have been looking for a backup/replacement for about 2 years now and can't find anything like it. I believe it is Ozark Trails brand.

If anyone finds anything compairable let me know!

I bought the bagallini last year and he vetoed it. He wants one just like the one we have and since he carries all day everyday he has the final say...
I have thought about buying one of those Camelback hydration packs and taking the bladder out of it, but they are sooo expensive and the don't have as many pockets, but they are the right size.

Try looking at Sam's Club or Costco for a camelback. I bought a nice one for DH for $24.99 I think around Father's day.

I take my Lands End backpack I used for school.

 

[~*~Michelle~*~]

This is the bag I used last time I went to WDW and will probably use again next time because it was really convienient for me to just slide the pack around to the front or the side when I needed something and it has a lot of room in it for essentials and my passporter. It was really comfortable too.

what is this one called? My dh works for VF who make jansport so we could get a deal on this.

See my post below, I love my Derek Alexander North/South Top Zip Shoulder Bag.

I just got my Derek Alexander Leather - North/South Top Zip Shoulder Bag
(Black). LOVE IT!!!! It has tons of pockets, credit card slots, etc... For an organization freak like myself, this is PERFECT !!! I do not like to carry a wallet, so this bag is perfect!! Just note that the company name Derek Alexander Leather is part of the company's name, not all the products are leather, it is just the company name.

Here is the Ebags link so you can see the length, width, depth of the bag.
http://www.ebags.com/derek_alexande...er_bag/product_detail/index.cfm?modelid=83720

This bag can be worn on one shoulder or across the body. It is comfortable in front, back, or on the side-- which makes it great for getting on/off of rides.

I also carry a DisneyWorld bag I bought years ago for souvenirs, snacks, jackets. It is lightweight, waterproof, awesome, & has been a staple for years. I bought it at one of the resort hotels-- either POP or AllStar Movies/Music.... I can't remember. Here is a photo from last year of me & my son while I am holding it.

I love it.

Does anyone know if the Baggilini messenger bag is waterproof? I am looking for a new bag, but with those summertime Florida pop up afternoon thunderstorms, it needs to be waterproof! Thanks!

The crinkle nylon version is water resistant (the rip stop nylon one isn't). None of them are water proof. I'm going to use my "camp dry" waterproofing spray on mine for extra protection.
