x-post Disney store online customizable rolling duffle?

[Goofygirl17]

Disney store online has customizable rolling duffle bags on sale today. Has anyone bought these? How is the quality? I though maybe I'd get them for my girls for Christmas. They have rolling Disney suitcases from Marshall's (cheap) and one is already cracked. They were cheap so I don't really care but I'd like to get them something that will last a little longer. We only fly about once a year but take car trips the rest of the time.

Any opinions? Thanks!

Anyone? These are the $49.99 on sale Create-Your-Own rolling duffles.

Thanks!

They're still in my cart but I haven't ordered them yet. I just can't decide if I should take the chance or not.

i don't have the specific one you are asking about, but i do have (had) a few other pieces from disney online.
they are okay for car trips or overnights to the grandparents or friends, where the person carrying them actually owns & will "baby" them.
i wouldn't waste the money otherwise...their luggage (as i've unfortunately found with waaay too many disney products) is very poorly made, with wheels that don't turn well, handles & frames that break easily, & material that isn't made for travel. even their more expensive pieces ($100+) barely made it through one round trip plane flight (shredded/ripped seams, cracked/broken handles, etc). luggage pieces never touched by baggage handlers didn't last more than one or two car vacations.

imho, you would be better off buying a good duffle, and customizing it with items from a craft store (ds's samsonite duffle has been though many flights, & still looks & works like new; all of our good luggage has lasted as well).
hope that helped

Thanks Laurie. I decided not to get them because nobody had anything good to say. They were so cute though! I like the idea of getting good ones and decorating them.

Thanks again!

IMO I think you made the right decision. I can't speak about the rolling duffles - but I did have two create your own duffles made through Disney online - they were the small size and just for our trip - as carry on bags. Of course I really love the characters on the duffles - and the quality is ok - but I don't think it would be the kind of item I would buy for serious travel. I live overseas and travel a lot and the bags we purchased were great for a fun idea for our trip to Disney but I don't know if it would last for a long trip - through airports etc. They served their purpose well and we enjoyed them but I probably won't be using the bag for other trips - it will be my Disney bag.

Here's a photo with our bags -

Love the picture! I think I'm just going to look for a bag that I could decorate for them. Thanks!

I have a Disney work out bag that I had personalized. It is ok, but has already ripped near the zipper and cannot be repaired. I will continue to use it until it totally falls apart, but will not buy another one...
