What do you take into the parks?

[mshanson3121]

I don't intend to drink so do I need my id?

If my cc is tied to my magic band do I need my cc?

I promise I've done this before. I was very organized about it. Now I can't remember what I did or how I did it. (I blame my kids.)

Always have a form of payment and ID on you.
We took:

MBs AND our "card" tickets (thank goodness too, because one of our parties MBs didn't work half the time entering the parks), Credit card, ID, Medic Alert card, lip balm, sunscreen, sunglasses, hats (course we wore those), autograph books, cell phone. By necessity we also had wipes, pull ups and spare pants for DD.

Phone, cc, ID, a little cash, my reading glasses are on a little magnetic pin type thing on my shirt, hat and sunglasses. I have to carry a small crossbody bag because my phone will not fit in a single pocket on anything I own and if it's summer I'm in a sundress, which doesn't have pockets. If it's going to rain (which it is, I've never been when it hasn't at least once a day) I either have a poncho, rain coat like the CM wear that covers me completely, or an umbrella.

I'd be lost without my purse. It's a cross body so I don't even feel it. I switch all day between sunglasses and prescription eyeglasses. My phone, charger, cash, can, I'd, first aid kid, are all in my purse.

Then we bring a soft sided cooler for
Food.

We always pay with Disney gift cards, helps keep us from overspending. So we have a box full of gift cards, small amount of cash, IDs, phone/camera, sunscreen, umbrella (I don't know why but I cannot stand ponchos) and trading pins.

Always, always, always carry your ID, a credit card and $20.

yes. it literally takes up almost no space in a pocket... All you need is one experience with a MB that isn't functioning and you won't forget again.

ID
Credit card
Ins. Card
Some cash
Hand sanitizer
Phone
Water bottle
Small bags of candy or chips for munching in line
Lip balm
Sunglasses
Hat
MB (of course)
I think that's mostly it.

My diaper bag is a different story. That thing is packed for the apocalypse.

Zombie or nuclear?

I wish I could go bagless but I can't help but bring a backpack. What I'm planning to bring this trip without kids:
-ID/CC/small amount of cash
-Reusable water bottles for DH and I
-sunscreen/a few bandaids/ADVIL!
-Enduracool towels for both
-Cell phone and the DSLR
-couple ziplock bags for water rides/rain
-rain jackets for DH and I

I use a fairly small cross body bag (vera bradley or coach), I always keep my ID, an extra CC and cash in there. If my MB is annoying me, I have wrapped it around the strap for safe keepings. I keep the following in my bag:
1. cell w mini charging bank bc it doubles as my camera ( https://www.hisypix.com/product/reactivate-portable-power-bank-battery-by-hisy-berrypink/ )
2. bandaids/precut mole skin
3. chapstick
4. hand santizer
5. small flip out hair brush (don't make fun, I have long hair and dang those knots that come from ToT/RnRC)
bonus: rain poncho if it looks like showers on the forecast

as someone who has dealt on the other side of the magic bands, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ALWAYS HAVE AN ALTERNATE WAY TO PAY FOR THINGS!! Sometimes the bands just don't want to work, or the touch to pay isn't working, or your band gets denied saying its at the limit or something else goes wrong that you'll need to go to guest relations to fix. So please, always have a credit card or enough cash to buy a few things.

I personally in the parks use a vera bradley mini back pack, in it are:
-Camera with lenses (dslr, before it I used a cross body)
-phone
-portable charger & cord
-sunscreen
-waterbottle
-sometimes umbrella or raincoat
-snacks
-wallet with id/cash/cards, etc
