Post pics of your bag you carry into park

[letthewookiewin]

I usually don't take a bag into the park. However, Coach has a new slingback that looks like the bag that I have, so I really want to get that one for our December trip. I just have to convince the DH to spend the money on it.

I'm crazy about bags too. I've ordered 2 Vera Bradley hipsters and one tote. I love them but they aren't going to Disney. I have ordered 2 Heys Travel Mates, I thought they would be perfect but after carrying them for a few days I really didn't like the front flap. Then I found the Derek Alexander top zip and it is perfect except it doesn't hold a water bottle. So, as a last resort, I went to JoAnn's bought some black mesh and put a mesh bottle holder on it where the cell phone holder was. It is now perfect! I love the little top zip pocket that is not very deep. It will be perfect for the tickets (card keys) and a little money. It's a shame they don't come in cooler colors though. I absolutely love the animal prints the Baggallini messenger now comes in.

I'd love to see a photo of your modificaton!

Does anyone have a photo of someone wearing this bag - I'm particularly curious how it looks wearing it in the front.

Thanks!!

I haven't decided on a bag for myself as yet, but I bought both of my daughters the VB mini hipsters when a local shoe store had them for 50% off. They'll either be Christmas gifts or part of their Welcome to Disney gift. They can carry their own money, KTTW, chapstick, camera, sunglasses with the strap knotted to adjust the strap length. My bag will need to be larger, to accomodate water, ponchos, sunscreen, etc. and also waterproof or water resistent. That way, if it starts to rain or we go on a wet ride, the girls' mini hipsters can go in my bag. I'm leaning toward the Bagallini, but still undecided.

Why does everyone but me have a local store that carries Vera Bradley with 50% off sales? All I have is a full price Luggage store that carries every bag she makes. It takes my breath away when I walk in.

I was able to convince my DH to get me the bag I wanted. The only thing is that he thinks it's about $100 cheaper than I said it was. I could always try and get it off Ebay and get it cheaper. Here is a pic of it:

I can understand what you are talking about. It would be a pain trying to get stuff out of it.

I changed my mind and bought this bag.

I bought it at Target for $29.99. It is a little bigger than what I wanted. I found another brand that was a little smaller but didn't seem to be made as well as this one. One thing I like about it is it has a rubber bottom on it, so maybe it will last. It does have the water bottle holder and has many compartments.

I like the look of this bag, but I too think its a bit big. I would love to find something similar just a bit smaller.

hi there, i am always looking for the "perfect" bag...well, i think i have found it...in 06 we used my baggalini which we really liked on our DL trip...in 07, we used my heys, which unfortunately didnt make it home as it started to tear and went in the garbage...we then went back to the baggalini...someone on the dis posted a link to this bag, which i bought and love, so much so that it has become my everyday bag...what i can fit in here is incredible and it doesnt bulk up...it is also comfortable to lug around...

I did notice in the reviews that quite a few people have used this on their disney trips, unfortunately i wont get to test mine til 09 ...i have it in the willow(which is more limey) but have it coming in black in about a week....

I never bring a bag to DW we just fit what we need in our pants pockets, we dont need to bring much. Here's what we bring:

Camera -wear around wrist or put in pocket
Videocam- wear strap around shoulder
Hand Sanitizer-mini size in pocket
camera batteries-pocket
wallet-one person holds the room keys in there
mp3 player-pocket
strip of paper w/ adr info on it-pocket


I would hate to have to carry a bag, not only do you have to stand in a line before they let you in to check your bag, but i'd end up leaving it somewhere!

I love the baggallini wallet bag. I bought one of the buxton bags and it was ok but the baggallini is much easier to find things in. I can wear it across body or around my waist. It has organizer slots on both size and 2 zipper pockets. It's small enough but I can still carry my small camera in it. I use it for everyday most of the time but always when I travel

Which baggallini wallet bag do you use, TIGGERmetoo?

Would love to see more pictures of disers wearing their favorite bags!

 

[janiebegood]

This is exactly what I was loking for! Do you think it would hold a medium sized Sony point and shoot camera? It's not a really small camera like a coolpix because it is an 10x optical zoom but still fits a medium sized camera bag.

My DH wears a really nice waist pack that fits vid. camera, sunscreen, batteries, snacks, etc. But I would like to have the camera on me since I am the main picture taker. Other than that if it fits chapstick and sunglasses Im happY!

Sorry for the delay, Paula70! I missed this post!

My camera is a Canon Elph -- a point and shoot digital camera. In my little baggallini mini bag, it fits in next to my cell phone and basically takes up the space in the main pocket. It's a pretty small camera, though I've seen smaller. My husband's Olympus digital also fits. If you don't have your cell phone in it, I bet your bigger camera would fit.

ebags is offering free shipping on a lot of items today, along with a 10% off code -- ONL104ME. They have free return shipping, too, so you could always try it and if it doesn't work out, send it back!

PS -- the four "old" colors of the Vera Bradley Hipster are $31.99 today, plus 10% off, plus free shipping. I'm tempted myself, even though I have a bajillion bags already!

I just got my Vera Bradley hipster in Kensington. It's awesome! It's actually bigger than I expected, and I love it. It has become my regular purse--not just a WDW bag--as I have back problems that have become aggravated by my usual big, heavy bags I like to carry. I do realize that if it rains at WDW, we will be in trouble, but as part of the contents I plan for the bag to hold are ponchos and Ziplocks, I am hoping not to have a problem. I am so, soooo tempted to order one or two more colors just to add variety, but we'll see. The fabric I bought mine in goes with black and brown, but I'd love to have one that's more summery as well. Oh, and I love the way the strap adjusts...just going to grocery store, I like to carry it on my shoulder with the strap shortened. But it can be adjusted in a flash to carry across the body. AWESOME!!! Thank you all for your posts--you have been so helpful in your descriptions of the various bags. Actually, there are several I probably would have been just as happy with, but this one was fairly economical--and CUTE.

Check out the Vera Bradley web site sometime! My MIL wanted a cell phone case for Christmas, my local "source" was all out, so I went directly to the manufacturer site. They had awesome deals on discontinued prints and a free gift with purchase (the coin purse.)

I think I have a bag problem! We leave in 2 weeks and I was planning on bringing my Vera Bradley Hipster and a small black/pink Adidas backpack but now I see the bag that jakoky posted from ebags and I want it!

I think I have tried just about every bag! When my DS was little I used a Disney tote bag (the one sell in the parks). I have tried the baggallini and the Overland Donner, wasn't thrilled with either. I also used a regular size backpack, too big ! I used the small Adidas backpack last year and it worked pretty well, except no bottle holder. I also have a Derek Alexander which I used for a Mom's Weekend away, again no bottle holder.

jakoky - what color is your bag? I really want to get the orange one!

 

[Kim2430]

I just got my Vera Bradley mini hipster today and love it! I think it will be perfect for what I need! I'll have a backpack for kiddie stuff but I wanted something small for money, tickets and my camera-this is it!

MNT568- Hi there, i have the bag in willow...it looks quite light on the site, but it is more limey...it is actually quite nice and i have the black one on order right now...my favourite thing about this purse/bag, is it can be quite full, but never looks it...it has sooooo many pockets, which come in very handy...the orange colour looks great..i cant wait to try it out in disneyland next year...if you order it, i dont think u will regret it...if u do, let me know what you think of it and how it works out for the trip..oh yah, have an amazing trip

I just bought this from a store in town during my lunch break. It seems perfect for those that don't like to carry a lot!

Vera Bradley Clip Zip ID
http://www.verabradley.com/Site/Store/ProductDetail.aspx?dept=8&sku=10336:8

It was $10, and it has a slot for your ID/KTTW and space for some cash or a small cell phone (my KRZR justfits in it). I don't know if I'll bring my phone because I don't want to feel weighed down at all. It can clip right onto a zipper, a belt loop, or even Mom's bag!

I have the Overland Donner, a Vera Hipster and I'm thinking of ordering the Piazza bag. How does it compare to the Donner??? Thanks
