OMG! That's a lot of stuff! You know there are lockers that you can stash some of those items. And what's up with the mini-scissors and nail clippers?

My park bag is one of the mini backpacks from Vera Bradley.
- I have a Coach Mickey Phone Wallet to hold iPhone 6, IDs, Cards, Cash goes in back zipper pocket of bag. Pack of Wet Ones & Kleenex also in this pocket.
- Dooney and Bourke small Cosmetic Case with my primer, foundation, concealer, 1 brush, mascara, chapstick, small travel hairspray, small foldable hairbrush, pony tail holders, bobby pins, travel size toothpaste, toothbrush, floss sticks, bandaids multiple sizes, neosporin, ibu profen, hand sanitizer, fingernail clippers, small sunscreen, & a few other small things I'm probably forgetting. This goes at the very bottom of the main compartment.
- I have my camera, with an extra battery & memory card in a Vera Bradley Tech Case also in the bottom of the main compartment of the backpack.
-In the 2 pockets on the main compartment, I have my inhaler, a chapstick (if I take it out of the cosmetic case), Sunglasses in drawstring case, Travel Size Bath and Body Works Body Mist, Portable Phone Charger with cord & wall adapter just incase, hand sanitizer x2, and if I'm not wearing my Magic Band, I keep it in one of these pockets, too.
- Also in main compartment, I have pens, permanent markers, pencils, rubber bands, paperclips in a plastic bag, and my autograph book separately.
- i usually carry my Nintendo DS Lite with a couple of games, for when I'm waiting in lines, riding buses, etc. My headphones (just the small gummy ear phones $10 from wall mart) also stay in my bag. This goes in a ziplock bag.
- Ear Plugs, sometimes if I'm in the back of the park like Storybooke Circus, the noise does bother me a lot.
- Umbrella, I do not like wearing ponchos
- Light jacket, extra pair of socks in a quart size zip lock baggie
- Water Bottle (just a store bought kind like a sam's choice bottle, not some fancy bottle that you re wash, when i finish it i can fill it up for free at a quick service place, or throw it away. I also always have a couple of snack options like peanut butter crackers ready, stuff that doesn't need to stay cold.
- trading pins
- in the front magnetic part of my bag i keep an organizer with my plans and reservation numbers written down.

I learned my lesson on the nail clippers. one time i had BAD hangnail that I got while in MK and I had to walk all the way around to first aid to get it clipped off, it was hurting haha, after that I started carrying my own all the time. And scissors could be to cut tags off of stuff, etc.

 

[FoxC63]

First off I use a Dooney & Bourke nylon crossbody bag
Identity Strong Hold mini wallet: ID, DVCredit card, hard ticket (if needed) cash
Empty Grayl Quest water bottle
Reading glasses & lens cleaning cloth
Phone
Camera
Travel tissue
Lip stick
Ziplock bag

I check the weather before going out and plan accordingly. I apply sunscreen in the AM before I head out and return from the parks in the afternoon to refresh, recharge and apply more sunscreen.

[FoxC63]

Wow you guys sure bring a lot of stuff with you. I guess it should be noted if you are staying on or off site and plan on using the lockers.

My dooney bag is for the day time and at night I only use a clutch purse. I stay on site and do leave the parks in the afternoon to chill out.

You need scissors to cut the mole skin. People are definitely taking a lot more in their bags than I do, but great ideas that I haven't thought of!!

 

[littledebbie335]

I use an L.L. Bean cross body bag. I'll carry:

Bandaids
Chapstick
Ibuprofen
Shout wipe (literally just one!)
Glasses case for regular glasses
Prescription sunglasses
Driver's license (for buying alcohol)
iPhone
Ponchos
Daily schedule/map
Travel sunscreen

That's it! We use our Magic Bands for all our purchases, so no need for credit cards. And we have a "we can always buy it if we need it" philosophy on vacation, which helps keep my bag lighter!

 

[Tasmen]

I use my trusty bagallini.

Cellphone
multiple usb battery packs fully charged
camera
tissues
ID
Sunglasses

I would never pay for a locker, and besides the camera, phone, and water none of it really has weight. Plus I have medical problems that mean I need to have more "stuff" on me at all times. Rather be proactive than reactive. Mini scissors for the moleskin, and as was mentioned, nail clippers for hangnails and broken nails which you never know when will happen and can be crazy painful.

 

[knkmom]

I've downsized significantly since our first trip where I felt more like a pack mule since everyone wanted me to hold stuff for them! Now I carry a very small Vera Bradley cross body or a disney dooney & bourke puchette. I carry my ID, Dis visa card and a little cash, a travel kleenex, extra batteries for the camera, Halo to charge phones, chapstick, hand sanitizer, ibuprofen and $ store ponchos in case of rain.

 

[MichaelWill&Megan'sMom]

Each of us carries a small Camelbak packed with tons of ice and a little water at the beginning of the day. 1.5 liters for the younger two (9 & 10), 2 liters for my 13 year old, my husband, and I. In each we put our phones/iPods, portable charger, disposable poncho, cooling towel, a gallon size ziplock bag, and hang a hand sanitizer off the strap. My husband and I also cash a small lack of wipes and some precut moleskin. They are lightweight, you always have water (no kids complaining about thirst), the ice keeps you cool, and everyone carries their own stuff. We've done this for years!

 

[Brittni__duh]

I carry a Brita water bottle, poncho, camera, external battery pack and one charger, small first aid kit and moleskin, spare socks, my wallet, sunscreen, and wet wipes.

 

[Dashzap]

Cell phone, small wallet, chapstick, and comb go in a silk neck wallet that I actually wear cross body, and a small umbrella (for sun shade and rain protection) goes in my pocket. I hate carrying stuff.

 

[dreiwhit]

My park bag is a backpack, and in it I have:

DSLR - usually wear around my neck when I get to the parks.
Motorola i355 two way radio to keep i touch with family

Moleskin and band aids
