Question regarding bags at US/IoA?

[Holic]

Hi all, we're making our first trip down this weekend, and will be at the parks most of next week. We're still contemplating on what size bag to bring to the parks? Anyone have any suggestions on the size that'll fit in most lockers. I've got a decent sized backpack that I'm very fond of because it'll hold everything we need. My wife is wanting to go with a smaller sized bag. Any suggestions/pics guys and gals?

Just wanting to gather some last minute opinions from the professionals here.

Thanks for reading!

There are big lockers at the front of the park if you want to use an all day locker.

If you are going to put your bag in an all day locker, those are pretty decent sized but we discovered the last time that it sure it a long walk from the back of the park to the front when you want something.

We carried a backpack with a change of clothes that we put in the lockers at the front of the park and my purse that criss crosses in front of me.

If you absolutely must have a bag, I'd go with as small a size as you can and carry it with you but you won't be able to take it on all the rides. Many of them require that you put any bags in a locker that is free for a limited time.

If you overstay your free time, you have to pay to get your stuff out of those lockers.

Plus the free lockers were a problem to get to work not to mention the long line to actually use the lockers the last time we were there in 2006.

My kids are older so I'm avoiding them on next weeks trip and going bagless which is what I'd recommend to anyone who can possibly do it.
