What kind of bag?

[Mom2tmha]

I have been to Disney a few times before and always bring one of the bags that you put around you waist (can't remember the name LOL). I was just wondering what type of carry around bag everyone else brings.
I just need enough space for my money, cc, park tickets, sunscreen, and my camera. Any suggestions?

I always carry all of that and 3 water bottles and some snacks so I use a disney bag that hangs over your shoulder and I picked it up at Walmart in Kissimee in the Disney section. The DH and the kids carry backpacks because it is easier on them. I personally have never liked backpacks even when I was a kid.

I carried a Baggallini Messenger Bag last time. It is vey lighweight and smaller than your average backpack. I was able to carry all that was mentioned above plus my video camera.

There's some threads on bags on other sections of the DIS, including quite a few in the Tips forum.

here's a couple: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1352375

LL BEan had a great bag that we got last year. can be converted to shoulder style, holds all my must haves, and
is small enough/stylish enough he did not mind wearing it
(and it was all my stuff inside) it was comfortable around the waist with a little support so it does not dig in your back, it was between 30 and 50 on the online site.
hope this helps.
(even my crushable hat fit.....)

I just bought the Baggallini Messenger bag and I love it! It will be much better than the backpack we usually carry.

I use a Timbuk2 metro bag in green. Quite small and compact but big enough to carry my life...

Thanks so much for all the help...not sure what I will go with yet.

They are calle Fanny Packs.

DON'T Do the fanny pack! They are so "out" and UGLY!! We make fun of people wearing them now a days. I wore them over 15 years ago, but not anymore!!!
I do a small backpack type thing that is used as my pusre for the trip, but can hold other stuff as well. I usually only wear it over one shoulder. this trip we have a toddler, so we will have her stroller as well. We wil lhave a bigger bag stuffed in the storage area of the stroller with her needs. (change of clothes, diapers, etc.

I took a small back pack last year and it worked better than anything I had carried before. I have back problems and it seemed to distribute the weight over a larger area so there were no sore places.
