What do you carry in your backpack/fanny pack?

[MaggieMoo'sMom]

We will be embarking on my and DD4's 1st Disney trip ever in 29 days (not that anyone is counting), and I am wondering what the more seasoned vets take into the park with them everyday...I would much rather haul in too much than pay $5.00 for an Advil!

rain ponchos!!
umbrella
sunscreen
baby wipes (I don't have a baby, but those mickey ice creams can get messy!)
advil (me)/tylenol for kids
bandages
moleskin for foot blisters

That's all I can think of right now.

As little as possible!!!

I take my camera, batteries, money-roomcard, quarters & pennies, bottle with some advil,decongestant, few bandaids, kleenex, guidebook,poncho or jacket if rain in forecast, few crackers/dry snack,nail clipper/emery board, a couple plastic bags. few baby wipes in a baggie, That's about it.

It is nice when kids are their age and you don't have to take clothes for them.

What do I take:

-diapers & wipes (next trip will just be wipes to wipe down the hands if needed).
-sunscreen
-hats (they usualy wear them but sometimes they come off).
-sunglasses
-water
-small snacks
-camera (OK I wear it, I am tourist)
-video camera
-crumbled up park map from the day before plus a new one from that current day.
-tissues
-lysol wipes (in a zip lock baggie)
-epipen
-table toppers/toilet toppers

I think that is it. I really try not to take so much stuff but since there is a stroller I just load it up. OK not really. DH carries the money & park tickets.

Next trip my kids can carry their own sunglasses if they wish to wear them.

Even with two kids we try not to take the world with us. We pack for them, but for us we have a "theme park purse" only used at Disney. We carry, some bandaids, some advil ( all in a old tic tac box) The camera and 1 set of spare batteries. Our passes, 1 credit card. Some cash.
Even with the addition of the diaper bag, we have diapers for DD, wipes and emergency clothes for both. If it cant fit in the bottom of our stroller its not coming.

Hmmm, I have two kids 9 and 11. We take a little kit with band-aids, neosporin to go, rolaids(me) as well as hand sanitizer, camera, autograph books, pen, granola bars, ponchos all rolled up in a little ziploc bag, sunscreen, and usually one or two bottles of water. We also have a list of all of our ADRs and our confirmation numbers. The kids carry their own cameras, their own wallets and wear their pins although yours is probably a little young to turn into pack mules like I've made my kids.

Nah they are the perfect age! train them early! buy them little fanny packs. I did this with my 5 yr old, altho for him I would carry his jacket or poncho, but not for the older ones. My rule was what you leave the room carrying in the morning you return carrying it or else it doesn't return. I announced I was no longer going to be pack Mom. It was funny but the first morning I said this everyone assessed what they had with them and went back into the room to dump things. You aren't going into the wilderness, limit what you haul and you'll have a much nicer time.
