Post pics of your bag you carry into park

[erynsmom]

Does anyone who has the Heys bag know if it can be worn in back. The pics show in front, but would it be comfortable wearing it behind?

I dont have any pics but we use an LLBEAN book backpack..

Erynsmom, I ordered a Heys bag today and as quickly as it gets here I'll let you know if it can be worn in back or not.

The last trip in August i brought a North Face back pack and with the rain and water rides it was so packed it ate holes in my shirts due to the moisture and heavy load. this trip in december everyone is in charge of their own stuff so i am going with this bag

i got it at the paper store and it is onsale at the vera site!
easy access to everything no stopping to get the back pack down to get fastpasses and the camera will always be at hand.

Thanks Castle crazy. I bought a baggallini today to try out , but if you like the Heys I may have to get one of those as well. Where did you order from?

I just bought the AmeriBag Metro New Yorker Messenger Bag on the Ebags website. I debated back & forth for hours between this one & the Baggallini Messenger Bag (MicroFiber or Eco Messenger Bag which is new). I did not like the quality look of the crinkle nylon Baggallini Bag.

The AmeriBag looks as if it will swing to the front much easer than the Baggallini & none of the customer reviews stated problems with the slipping on the shoulder strap that I have read about the Baggallini.

The Ameribag is leather on the bottom (less stains) & is also made of microfiber (water resistant). I really like the non-slip cross-body shoulder strap in comparison to the Baggallini, it looks much more comforable. It also appears to have many organization pockets, which I love !!!

Does anyone have this bag? Have they used it at Disneyworld? I will let you know what I think when it arrives on 06/30/08. We get the BEST information here on the DIS boards, so I will be sure to share with everyone !!

Okay guys, I just got my Ameribag Metro New Yorker MicroFiber Bag from Ebags, all I can say is WOW !!!! Super high quality & I am VERY VERY picky!! It was a bit more pricey than the Baggallini, but I LOVE it & it is very stylish. The microfiber has leather on the bottom, sides, & on the zippers, which helps with water & dirt, easy to clean. The microfiber is very high quality, soft, & is treated iwth Dupont Teflon Fabric Protector which repels water & oils based spills (per the tag on the bag). I am obsessive when it comes to organization, but I also don't like too much bulk, this bag has IT ALL!!! You do not need to carry a wallet because the front has credit/debit/Disney card slots. It has tons of pockets as well !!!! Here is the link, check out all the photos & feature of this bag--

They also sale a cotton/twill smaller version called the AmeriBag Metro Manhattan on the Ebags site, I have that on my birthday wish list.

I truly believe there are 2 things that are a must for a GREAT Disney trip.

1. A truly good bag that is very efficient, organized, & does not make you sore. I like this bag because you can swing it to the front or back of you or the side & it is comfortable in all 3 positions. Also, as I mentioned previously, the non-slip cross-body shoulder strap is GREAT. It does not look like the seat belt strap on the Baggallini & it is VERY comfortable!! If you do not like this bag, it can be returned for a full refund, but I think you will like it. Word of caution. I am about 5'3" & 118 lbs. I placed the strap on the shortest length & if I was any shorter, it would be too long I think. So if you are extremely short & very thin, it would be too long for you.

2. The 2nd must have is CROCS !!!!! No sore legs, feet, or back the next morning !!!! Love those CROCS !!

I hope this helps everyone, I wanted to be sure & followup with everyone on my new Disney Bag purchase for 11/30/08 at Wilderness Lodge !!! Can you tell I am sooooo excited???

Erynsmom, I ordered a Heys bag today and as quickly as it gets here I'll let you know if it can be worn in back or not.

The only thing I did not like was there was not any credit card slots/money slots/more organization pockets like that. The AmeriBag Metro New Yorker has tons of organization pockets, I just got it delivered today & posted tons of information about it for everyone. But the Heys does have LOTS of great features as well, it would probably be a great choice as well !!! It just appears to stay near the front of you. The AmeriBag Metro New Yorker I just received today, can be worn on the front, back, sides, & is comfortable & stylish in all 3 locations!! Also, you can switch sides from rt shoulder or left shoulder. I like that because you can get an even suntan while in Florida.
I hope this helps someone.

Thanks for the info! I really like this bag but think it might be a little too pricey for me. I'll definitely keep it at the top of my list though. Anyone know where I might find one a tad cheaper?

Also wondering about the baggalini, does anyone know if you can wear it different ways comfortably and what they are?

I recently received the Heys bag, so I haven't used it at Disney, but I did use it around town for the day. You can wear it in the back, side or front. I found the side most comfortable, but plan to wear it in the back on my trip.

I like the bag and think it should work well. I was initially worried that the Baggalini may be too big for me and like the size of the Heys bag. However, after the Heys was ordered I saw a Baggalini in person and thought it would have been perfect. But since my mother had already ordered the Heys, I'm going to stick with it.

I liked it the day I wore it, but I was just going to lunch and visiting my SIL, so it didn't really get a "good" workout.

Hope that's helpful!

I just got back and used the Overland Equipment Bayliss. It was just me and my mom so I didn't really need a whole lot of room. I loved it! I forgot it was even there. I just threw it around my shoulder and there it stayed. Here's a pic:

 

[mommytoone]

Here is one that I purchased - it has straps to wear as a backpack or can be used with a long strap for tote style:

Where did you get this from? It is so cute.

 

[JessicaFaye508]

I can't find a picture of my bag, but it's this little navy bag that says '06 on the back with the characters filled in in the numbers. The bag has two straps so it is like a small backpack.

This is the perfect bag for my family because all we really carry around are our camera, auitograph books and pens. Since it's a backpack type of bag its nice because there isn't pressure on one of your shoulders and the weight is evenly distributed on both shoulders. The straps aren't thick either so it's a really great bag.

Where did you get this from? It is so cute.

I got it on disneyshopping.com and I believe it was last year. It matches the luggage set.

 

[GrumpyMom25]

This may sound silly but I just purchased one of the lunch totes from DisneyShopping.com to carry around the parks. It has a zipper pocket on the front, a mesh pocket inside to hold all of my cards, change and cash and on the outside there is a stitched Grumpy and MY (not my kids, so they won't be running off with it) name. It has a good length shoulder strap.

I purchased my TravelMate from shopHeys.ca then I returned a messenger bag to ebags and exchanged it for a Travel mate from there as well. I love the Ameribag for a regular bag but for Disney I really wanted something smaller. My biggest thing with the Heys Travel Mate was that it is small yet has lots of pockets and hold a water bottle on the outside. That was a biggie for me. I don't carry much, camera and a few snacks for son and diabetic DH so I don't need a ton of room. It just looked perfect to me. I'll let you know.

We just ordered two of these from Disney Shopping. We used a nike version the last two times and it worked great for us. It was so light weight that you do not even feel it on your back even with quite a bit of stuff in it. I can't wait to use these next time we go:

 

[mmmbop]

(Sorry it's so large, I can't figure out how to edit the size of it )

My grandmother bought it for me during a trip a few years ago at ASMu. It has a compartment on each side, plus a compartment on the top and also one inside the bag. I love the Mickey on the front, too.

The trip which you can see a photo of above was primarily a "me only" trip. (My grandmother caught my cold the day after we arrived... and I got over the cold. oops). So, it was slightly bulky because I kept a hoodie, poncho, and water bottle in there for that day. Along with my camera, and wallet. It seemed bulky because.. all that just for me? Other than travelling alone and having to carry it just for me, it's a nifty little bag. It travels with me everywhere, not just WDW.

Earlier this year, I bought the Overland Donner and tried it out on a shopping trip with DD13. Didn't like it; it cut into my neck when I tried to wear it across my body (which is what I wanted to do). Sold it on ebay.

Last spring, I carried the lime green baggallini messenger + a fanny pack. I didn't want my tix & fp's or money 'behind' me in the baggalini. It worked fine, but for our trip this summer, I didn't want anything hot on my back.

I bought the Vera Bradley hipster and used that for the 10 nights we were there & it was perfect. DH used a fanny pack & was able to carry a couple bottles of water in the side holders on it, when we had water to carry. For me, the hipster was great. It carried a small tin (a little bigger than an altoids tin) and in that, I carried: moleskin, mini scissors; rolaids, pepto bismol, band-aids, kids chew tylenol & immodium. The purse also carried: ink pen, tix, fp's, tide stick, little Kodak camera, mini notepad, touring plans w/map, cash, id's, insurance card, mini tylenol bottle with numerous meds in it.

I will definatley be taking the same bag, maybe different color, when we go back at Christmas 2009. Can't wait!

I actually found out about this bag through the Dis - a member (loveysbydesign) posted a review with picture of it - and I was hooked.
Here's the review:
http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?p=17581796#post17581796&highlight=travelon+slim

I really like this bag - as it does not have a magnet (unlike other Travelons) - its expandable, has card slots....and its just the right size to carry what I want to bring into the parks - I can wear it all day without taking it off - very convenient bag. (Note: is is a little smaller than the regular Travelon bag - but I find that to be a benefit for in park usage)


Here's the bag on Ebags:
