Teen Going To Disney - How to carry Money/phone

[belle22]

My Teen is going to Disney with a school group. What is the best way for her to carry money and her phone around the parks (rides).

Small purse?

Maybe a cross body bag?

I'd say a small crossbody purse.

If that was all I needed to carry, I would just put it in a running belt.

Girls have so many more options than boys. A cross body bag is good. My son used one of those drawstring backpacks if he didn't have pockets with closures.

Went to Disney with my daughter's cross country team last month. Each student (boys and girls) brought a backpack. My daughter brought a smaller backpack, like a backpack purse. I always bring a small backpack, too. I just slip it through a leg on rides like Space Mountain or Everest, so it doesn't fly out. My bag is usually a little too big to fit in the pouch on the rides. Never lost anything yet.

Another vote for a crossbody bag here. Now that my son is a teen and I no longer need to be a pack mule that's what I use myself.

We all carry these:

Small, light comfortable with room for a water bottle. Always get asked about them when we take them into the parks. They wash up easily and are cheap enough that they can be easily replaced.

For size reference:

Both of my girls use a Vera hipster bag or a wristlet.

I use a backpack if all day in the parks, but if I just need to carry a few items, this is my go-to. It can be used as a wristlet or cross-body.

I put my phone in the front, and money/cards/lip balm, etc in the zip part. For some reason on the online model, it looks huge... but it is just slightly larger than an average cell phone.... 6.5" x 3.75"

Pocket?

Tillys has a lot of fannypacks. Fannypacks among teens are actually popular. They are not big or stand out like the old style.

Running belts like FlipBelt is another option.

Lots of girls carry small backpack purses that are cute. Some are Disney themed like this one. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/458945018262542314/

This is similar to the flipbelt, I got it on a whim and it is pretty awesome. Small but stretches to fit my Android, $, id and a small ziplock with ibuprofen (our usual park stuff).

These are also great if she just carries the minimum -

I like this a lot!!! Having a water bottle holder in a bag makes life so much easier.

We love them and they’re really light and easy to carry. Perfect for phone, wallet, water bottle and autograph book.

I personally prefer a small crossbody bag. My 12 year old prefers a mini backpack when she's touring theme parks. She's used both one like the minnie one that is pictured above and also the really thin drawstring bags. She also has a cell phone case that is like a wallet, so every once in awhile she just puts some money in that and keeps her phone in her pocket. Depends on if she is wearing something with strong enough pockets that she doesn't have to worry about the phone falling out. But let's be honest - the phone is in her hands half the time anyways.

I have been able to get my teenage son to use one of these running belts - https://www.amazon.com/Expandable-Running at Hershey. He carried his phone, money and park pass in it and it fits under his shirt. I let his younger brother use it to carry his epi-pen last trip. Teen son said he'd be fine with his phone in his pocket... till he lost it on Stormrunner. Otterbox saved the phone, but next trip they will each have a running belt.
