Ditto, I have a VB type one and it works great. Lightweight and not bulky.

I have carried a crossbody bag but I feel a backpack is easiest. DH can share in carrying the backpack. He wouldn't want to carry my crossbody. lol

I normally carry one of those draw string backpacks...I like not having to worry about holding a bag on my arm, and it is smaller/lighter than a typical backpack but fits a bunch!

Re: What bag to carry around disney besides a backpack

Backpack is easiest.
I have a small nylon one. Can easily keep it on my back during rides, or turn it around and wear it on my front if I have to.
I hate carrying a lot of stuff, but at Disney, I carried wallet, phone, sunscreen, eyeglass cases, bandanas (to wipe the sweat off with)
No kids, so I don't have to worry about kid stuff.

I had this bag. Its super small fit my tiny wallet, phone, sunglasses. anything important I used my diaper bag for everything else. It went across my body. It was perfect. I also had the Ergo baby carrier on and this around me and it didn't bother me

I like sporty back packs in disney bc it doesn't look like a pocketbook so when I get tired of holding it my husband can hold it for a little while.

I got a swingpack from the Coach outlet. It was perfect for my sunglasses, wallets, baby wipes case, chapstick, and mini sunblock.

I am in Disney now and switched from my tote/cross body to my sobs spongebob backpack! My shoulders and neck were killing me and I didn't have a lot in there but if you have a DSLR camera it gets heavy fast.

My husband usually carries a bp. I usually do a cross body small purse. Do you find it is annoying to constantly take it on and off your back? Esp since I find with the app I use my phone a lot. I was thinking of switching but like that I never have to take the purse off it fits under the bars etc.

Re: What bag to carry around disney besides a backpack

I am a crossbody girl in Disney.

Backpacks make me nervous in crowded public places because I can't see who is behind me and what they might be doing with my belongings. (I had my camera stolen from me in Epcot once but I felt like that before too.)

I also find them annoying to take on and off when I need cash, my phone, or my camera.

Plus I don't have to take the crossbody off for rides.

I might feel differently when we don't have a stroller in Disney because now we can store the heavy items there and just carry the valuables. But I don't have a fancy camera or anything heavy.

ETA - LOL Lillykat without reading your post I wrote almost the same thing.

It was a little annoying but I put the straps on the stroller handlebars (I brought my macclaren). The BP did have a side pocket so that helped too.

On a side note.... Bring ponchos or buy them as soon as you get there and buy an extra adult one or the largest you can get for your stroller. We parked our stroller and went into one of the rides, by the time we got out it was raining, we ran for cover and to get ponchos. In that time it was like a monsoon. It took an hour to dry our stroller with my hair dryer!! So the extra poncho is for your stroller. If it is cloudy throw it on!!

If all you need to carry is some cash, your phones, and the room keys/park passports, then a crossbody purse/satchel should be perfect. I usually bring a smaller sized messenger bag so I can throw a water bottle and snack in there too.

Re: What bag to carry around disney besides a backpack

I use a fanny pack. For our upcoming trip I bought an eyn case for my cellphone. Between that and the magic bands I shouldn't need to carry anything else. It stores cash & cc's.

This is what it looks like:

I used this on our trip to Disney. I think I have one size up and it was PERFECT. The separate pockets are great so everything doesn't fall out when you are digging for something. I kept the fast passes in the small pocket. Cell and money in the second pocket and other essentials (sunscreen, wipes, small snacks etc) in the big pockets.
