What must have items should I put in my backpack?

[lovinglmylife]

Ok so I'm making a list of stuff I need to have with me while I'm at DW. I plan to wear a backpack just cuz I hate how my purse falls off my shoulder and such. This way I can give it to my hubby to carry and he won't feel awkward caring a backpack vs. a purse.

So far I've got the following:

Camera
Hand Sanitizer
Wallet of Course
Wet Ones

Anything else.

My girls are 3 years old and 11 years old.

Thanks.

Snacks and small games for the girls to amuse them if the lines are long.

Band-aids!!!

Here's what we have in our backpack:

rain ponchos
autograph books...in a gallon zip bag in case they get wet
camera
hand sanitizer
extra water bottles in the side pockets
body glide...in case anyone thinks they might get a blister
a small first aid kit....bandaids, neosporin, etc
a gallon zip bag with candies and stuff ...occupies everyone in line. gum, jolly ranchers, fun size m&m's, stuff like that.

Extra batteries for the camera if possible. Those things always go at the most inconvenient times and I guarantee you they will be cheaper at home than in the parks.

We always pack ziplocks, extra batteries, snacks, tiny umbrella, ponchos, water bottles, cameras, wallet, cell phone, sunscreen, pills- tylenol, bonine, etc, sunglasses, hand sanitizer, bandaids (LOTS), reservation numbers... hmmm am I missing anything?

Our backpack (we have two boys - 4 & 8) includes:

• Rain parkas (in gallon ziploc bags)
• Germ-X
• Wet wipes
• Extra camera batteries
• Camera
• Small snacks (granola bars, mini cereal boxes, fruit, etc. - as examples)
• Aspirin and a few band-aids

If going during a hot time we'd include damp washcloths (in ziploc bags), sunscreen, a couple of water bottles, and some single-serve Kool-Aid flavor packets.

Even if we didn't have the kids and were planning on a full day in the parks I'd probably still carry that stuff.

WATER! I think water is the most important. Water bottles at disney are expensive. And little bags of snacks. Cheaper than buying a bag of chips or fries or something. And hand sanitizer

All of the above and we bring a small towel.

A couple of hair ties! My daughters all have long hair and it was fabulous to throw up their hair into buns when they got hot and sweaty...

If going when it is hot out, add a misting fan to your list!

Lip Gloss

Maybe an extra pair of underwear and shorts for your little one in case she has an accident?

 

[X_Mickeys_Pal_X]

Oh , dont forget sunglasses as well , the sun can give them bad headaches.

 

[3"Mouse"keteers]

All of the above plus a list of any ADR confirmation numbers.

Awesome! Thanks! I think I've got everything I need. This is going to sound restarted maybe...Are there outlets that can be used. I have a Nikon and has rechargeable battery and my iphone. In case they need charging...


Autograph books where do I get those?

I'm sure your bag is getting full, but when we went last August, I also took a change of clothes and bathing suit for each of our two daughters. Each girls' clothing/suit went in a separate gallon size ziplock bag so I could access them easily.

Have fun!

Well I've kinda decided that Why should I have to carry everyone stuff because I'm the mom! I think not! Everyone is old enough to carry their bag pack so that's what's going to happen. I'll carry my stuff and my 3 years stuff and everyone else can carry their own!

extra change of clothes in case the kiddos get too wet on some rides and they get uncomfortable or cold. A small towel helps too - in case anything (camera for example) gets wet and needs to get dried off (it rains a lot in the summer).

Sounds like you're going to need a large backpack
