I go to Disney World for my job, and I’ve tried quite a few park bags over the years.
From big backpacks to small crossbody bags, I’ve definitely got some preferences. But a few styles in particular have stood the test of time for me. I’m sharing the bags that I swear by in Disney World!
Get the classic Loungefly!
Starting off this list, we’ve got a classic Loungefly Disney Minnie Mouse Black Sequin Women’s Backpack. The majority of the time, when I visit the parks solo, I carry a Loungefly. They hold just enough supplies to last me through the day, including items like a water bottle, a small first aid kit, a wallet, and more. Plus, you can get them in all kinds of fun designs to match your outfit or the park you’re visiting!
This Vera Bradley bag is a great alternative option!
When I’m in the mood for a small backpack but I want a liiittle more space, I go for the Vera Bradley Cotton Small Bradbury Backpack instead. This bag is a bit more square, so it can fit more tall items than my Loungefly usually can (like if I need two water bottles or an umbrella). It has a combination of zipper pockets and slip pockets for storage, and you can buy it in a wide variety of fun patterns.
I love this backpack for heavy days or flights
What about those days when a small bag just isn’t going to cut it? Well, in that case, I pull out the Coowoz Large Travel Backpack from Amazon. This bag has a TON of built-in organization, with pockets of all types and sizes — it even has a shoe compartment. This one is my go-to for a personal item when I fly (check to make sure it fits your airline’s sizing requirements), and I could probably pack for a whole weekend with just this bag.
Or, you can grab this belt bag
If you tend to pack light, then I recommend this Telena Belt Bag. It’s the most cost-effective of the bunch. It has zipper pockets as well as interior storage, alongside an adjustable crossbody strap. You can grab it in a bunch of different colors, and it’ll be easy to take on rides since it’s small and out of the way. Plus, the real benefit is it doesn’t make your back sweaty the way a backpack does!
Don’t forget one for the parents!
I recently had a baby, which means my park visits are looking a little different nowadays (I’ve even had to temporarily retire some of the other bags in favor of packing heavy during this stage of my life). And when I head to the parks with my husband and son, I LOVE using this RUVALINO Diaper Bag Backpack. It has SO many pockets with built-in organization, including a pacifier pouch, a removable diaper changing pad, and an insulated pocket for your snacks. This thing has been a lifesaver.
