I just purchased this crossbody bag. Since I usually stuff the things I need into my pockets & am tired of being paranoid I'll lose them, I hope this will work for the few things I take with me:

ID & Gift Cards
Car key
Cell phone
Sunglasses
Chapstick
Times Guide

Love that bag! And a good price too!!I forgot Hot Topic had Disney items. Thanks for the reminder!

Thanks! Alice is one of my favorites so as soon as I saw it I wanted it. And it is a very good price! I also ordered some other Disney T Shirts & a Tank Top from them. Hopefully everything will work out since I usually don't order online without seeing it in person or trying it on.

Each member of our family has an amusement park bag... and we always take the stroller.

I use a mini backpack. It has:
A mini first aid kit with 3 antiseptic wipes, a few bandits, aspirin, ointment
A pill box with 4 days of my son's meds (he has drug reactions, so even when he's been in the hospital, we've had to use home meds.)
Collapsible pen
Mini Lysol
Mini sunscreen tube
Mini Eye drops
Son's lost child id
My license
Credit cards
Cash
Camera
Cell phone
Anti bacterial Hand wipes
Hand sanitizer
Chapstick
Car keys


On the stroller:
diastat
Change of clothes for son
Change of shoes for my mother
Rain ponchos
Spray sunscreen
Snacks
Sensory toys
Drink cups

I posted this on another thread but:

The one thing I packed that might be considered odd is a pill box in my park day bag... i used it for pills

But no what I did was take and put all the over the counter meds we might need.. advil, pepto, benadryil in the kid and adult version in different day slots then write with a fine sharpie what they were and what the dosage was. Now i dont have to lug alot of bottles around and I dont have to worry about over the counter meds in the park.

I do this for our day trips to our local theme park and it alway works out very nicely

I have a slightly different version of this. I found a small container in the fishing tackle area that had 8 compartments (4 on each side back to back). Perfect for 6-7 pills in each slot. it is very compact and seals securely.

I use a drawstring backpack in which I carry:

My wallet
Sunscreen
A water bottle
A small travel pouch with bandaids/ibuprofen/Dramamine (just in case)
Feminine products if needed
Wet wipes
A small mister fan (not the big Disney one, a cheap one I bought at WalMart)
Disposable ice packs (my partner gets very overheated, these help a lot on hot days)
Portable battery charger/cable for my phone
Poncho(es)

And my phone stays in my pocket!

...I think I might be a bit of a pack mule

Baggalini messenger crossbody tried and true- I pretty much use it on every trip to every place ,it's so versatile - I know I will tote a light jacket at minimum, so I need room to pack it in if gets warm during the day- plus all my snacks I need to carry.....even mostly empty it just works. Other than that I carry a wallet,phone,battery,lip balm....not much more.

As for what bag I use, It's either a standard Disney backpack you can buy at any gift shop, or a Vera Bradley Mini Backpack, I'm currently using a Vera Double Zip Backpack.

I always carry:
1. Cell Phone with regular wall charger & a backup battery, that way I have multiple ways to charge my phone if I want to sit and take a break or if I'm needing to be somewhere I can charge it without being near an outlet. i also bring headphones, i like listening to podcasts if I'm stuck in long lines.
2. Vera Bradley Zip ID Case with my cash, debit card, Driver's License, and other important I.D.'s
3. Small Cosmetic bag to organize my makeup. All I bring in this is powder, a brush, travel throw-away toothbrushes, travel kleenex, band aids, small sunscreen, hair brush, travel hair spray, ponytail holders, nail clippers, ibu profen, my inhaler, and chapstick.
4. Camera with Extra Memory Card, Batteries, and Charger in my camera bag.
5. Sunglasses, Hat, Umbrella. I prefer Umbrellas over ponchos.
6. Water Bottle so I don't have to spend money on expensive disney water.
7. Quick snacks like a granola bar or crackers, things that won't melt. Sometimes I just need something to hold me until my next meal and it's easier doing this than paying $5-$15 for more disney food.

if it's cooler i will bring a jacket.

I might switch to a mini backpack this year because I found the crossbody bag to get slightly irritating after awhile. I bring the following items:

Small ID bag for credit card, license, insurance card, and cash.
Cell Phone and Extended Battery so I don't need to waste time at the charging stations.
2 water bottles
Poncho
Chapstick
Compact
Pill Pack with the pills I may need for the day: advil, benadryl, prescriptions.
Park Map
Breakfast snacks (usually eaten on the bus before going into the parks)
Extra Sunscreen
Blister Band aids

On days when I know that I am going to sit and watch a parade during, either my mom or I will bring a towel with us.

Things I am usually wearing but may put in my bag on occasion:

Hat
Sunglasses
Lightweight sweater - I get cold sometimes waiting in line in the blasting AC so I often find myself taking it on and off throughout the day. I'll just wear it around my waist.

It's hard for me because I go with my boyfriend and he brings a back pack to the parks. So I put most of my stuff in his bag. He brings a thin draw string bag and keeps our ponchos and thin second layer for when its freezing inside from all the heavy AC blasts. So in my actual bag I bring a small purse that can fit a small wallet ( I normally have a long Betsey Johnson wallet but tis too big), the lipstick im wearing for the day, my liquid eyeliner in case I sweat mine off and it smudges a hair tie or two and my powder compact since I will constantly be battling a shiny face! Whatever anyone brings make sure it can fit into the ride compartments

This is my go-to park bag http://www.amazon.com/Derek-Alexand...id=1433387922&sr=8-4&keywords=Derek+Alexander

It's super light, has TONS of pockets/compartments, a nice long strap so I can wear it cross body, and is small enough that I don't have to take it off on rides - it tucks in nicely by my side. It's also nylon so it's good on water rides.

In the main compartment I have:
- Wallet
-Iphone
-Portable backup charger/phone chord
-Sunglasses
*there is enough room left over for a small 8oz bottle of water)

Second zipper compartment (has multiple zipper pockets/card slots that these things slip into):
-Bandaids (multi-size)
-Dr. Pepper lip smacker (adds good sheer color!)
-Retractable kabuki brush
-Translucent powder compact
-Blotting papers
-A 4-color pen
-Small tissue pack
-Small (less than an oz.) hand sanitizer
-Small pill bottle with a mix of OTC meds
-Small nail file/clipper kit (nail clippers are great for cutting tags/plastic loops off of souvenirs!)
-Small hand cream
-Small sunscreen stick
-Gum
-A few moist towelettes packets (takes up way less space than a small pack of wet-wipes)
-Colgate wisps
-A few bobby pins secured by a couple of extra hair elastics
-Mini notepad

In the back zipper compartment:
- Backup "emergency" feminine products

In the front zipper pocket:
-Pins for trading

There is also a small pocket on the side of the bag that will fit a mini travel umbrella nicely, but I really don't use that in the parks

Even with all this stuff hidden away there is still plenty of room for other things that get added throughout the day, like small souvenirs/snacks/etc!
