Every since the increased security checks, I've tried to streamline what I take to the parks. Usually my bag has: lip balm, i.d. and 1 credit card, sometimes phone (if not, then DH makes sure to have his), ear plugs, meds, one sample size tube of cream (for face and hands), sample size Purell. I also have a vest that folds up into its own pocket, so unless the weather is chilly, that's all I take.

I have a teeny tiny purse and all I have in it are: ticket, credit card, id, small bit of cash, phone, lip balm, small ziplock with bandaids and some ibuprofen. I carry a bottle of water and wear my sunglasses. DS has a very small backpack and in it is his Nintendo DS, small sunscreen, water bottle and a cell phone portable charger. DH carries his wallet and a bottle of water.

We are park minimalists.

 

[22Tink]

Sunscreen, lip balm, sunglasses, small wallet, bottle of water, phone, hand sanitizer, headache meds, DD's autograph book and pen.

I use a small crossbody purse made of a soft, easily schmusable leatherish material. Totally cheap no-name bag but it's deep enough to allow for a bottle of water or a gatorade and still be able to zip it up easily. I've used it for 3 or 4 trips now and it's my go-to bag. In that, I have a small hardside credit card holder I use for our passes, fastpasses and room/credit cards. A little bit of cash, my phone, chapstick, lipstick/gloss and the previously mentioned drink. DH has a slingback for water, sunscreen and whatever else he brings. DD11(nearly 12) carried her own purse this time, same kind as mine and mostly just used it to carry a small bottle of water and her wallet.

We tend to end up just throwing everything in the bottom of the stroller and carrying the camera and phones. I wear my tickets and other cards. We have packed bags in the past, but it seems that it's easier to keep the snacks and diapers just in the bottom of the stroller. We've never had anything stolen, but I wouldn't leave anything I would be upset to have stolen either. Along with snacks and diapers we generally have water, maybe sunscreen, a blanket to cover the stroller with if child will be napping, and flip flops. We've also brought Ponchos incase of rain, a mist fan, and glow sticks. I try to only bring in what I think we'll actually use that day. When DH and I went without kids we went bagless. We each carried our water and put the phones in our pockets.

Cash, Cards, Sunblock, $1 poncho, phone, ziplock bag to put phone in on Splash Mnt. or if it is raining.

You may find this hard to believe but our family brings NOTHING into the park except for park tickets, a room key, and photo ID.
We love being liberated from our phones.
Every other trip we splurge on PhotoPass.

We stay onsite so we can run up to the room when needed.

Sadly, there is no express security line so we have to wait just like everyone else - A bit of a bummer.

 

[StayClassy]

I always bring
-at least three water bottles
-a granola bar or protein bar
-a bag of pins for trading
-hand sanitizer - a must
-pretzels or some kind of small snack
-my iPad because I don't like leaving it in the room

And that's pretty much it.


It sounds like a lot but it's really not. I use a backpack in a pouch Vera Bradley, and it's very light weight. The water bottles are the heaviest thing which really isn't that bad.

 

[CallieMar]

Wallet, sunscreen, sunglasses, chapstick, phone, collapsible water bottle, and crystal light packets. I carry a small-ish crossbody Baggalini.

 

[avalon451]

Thin wallet with one credit card, room key, park ticket, i.d., and a couple of bucks. Bottle of water. Small tube of sunblock, lip balm, small pill box with tylenol/motrin. Couple of bandaids and moleskin for blisters. A power bar or a baggie of raw nuts for emergency snacking. Sometimes a cheap poncho for the wet rides. Oh, and phone, best for checking wait times/FP times!

Oh, yeah, and usually a very small notebook and pen, where I might have a tentative plan written down, and can make notes about what we did or quick impressions when we sit down for awhile. I love to go back and refer to this later, esp. if I write a trip report, because it's easy to forget what we did, and special moments that happen during the day. It makes for great memories!

 

[minneylovesmicky]

Epi pens, antihistamines, sun screen spray, video camera, band aids, hat, purse, phone, tickets, lip gloss, travel pack tissues.

 

[lorijohnhill]

Way too much stuff! We are high maintenance travelers.

I have one backpack that hangs on the handles of my scooter that contains my camera (I mainly wear my camera though), extra lens, flash, my many prescription meds, Tylenol, Meclezine, band aids, sunglasses, hand sanitizer, sunscreen, colored sharpies, bags of nuts or other protein packs, clips for hanging stuff on the basket (such as our cups), trading pins in a ziplock, extra hair bands/clips, wet wipes, and travel size tissues.

In a second backpack, that hangs on the seat back, we carry blankets, my daughter's hoodie, water bottles and cans of soda.

The autograph book goes in the basket and my jacket/hoodie drapes over the back of the seat.

Around my neck I hang my phone on one lanyard and I have a small Disney coin purse that hangs on its own lanyard. In that I keep my ticket, fast passes, lip balm, cash, ID, room card, photopass cards, etc.

 

[NannyBeBe]

Cash, I.D., insurance card, credit card, Disney tickets, camera, small pack of Kleenex, bandaids, small folding hairbrush. I wear a sweater or light jacket around my waist for the evening as we do not return to our room during the day.

 

[Disney127]

Small crossover Baggallini
Wallet with cash, 1 credit card and ID
Annual Pass
Iphone for checking wait times and photo taking
Phone charger
Ziplock bag with bandaids, floss (for those turkey legs )

 

[07pilot4me]

question: is DL still pretty lenient on bringing food into the park. last time we went we brought water bottles and granola bars without any problems. what have people gotten away with taking into the parks in regards to food.

 

[tlovesdis]

My wallet with cash, debit card, AP, and license
lip balm
phone
phone charger
wet wipes
hand sanitizer
nuts, granola bars, other small snacks
water bottle
sunscreen

 

[tdhickey]

Wife brings a small cross body with Passports in a ziploc (for booze since Canadian DL is no longer accepted as valid ID), park hopper tickets and wallet (duh), glasses, small sunscreen and small travel advil. Phones and fitbits stored in the cross body for water rides. This makes the security check a breeze.

We skip bringing any sort of food, snacks are purchased in the park if needed. I've never found carrying food in the park to be worth it, I'd rather split meals, drinks and snacks to keep the budget down when needed.

 

[jammyjam25]

I wear my park ticket, ID, credit card(s) and small amount of cash in a lanyard sleeve around my neck.

In a small cross body purse I carry my camera, extra batteries, phone charger, phone, an "ouch pouch" with a few band aids, etc., and my inhaler.
