We’ve tried everything from crossbody purses to tote bags to backpacks. And you know we’ve spent many days at the parks wearing our Loungefly backpacks. But we may have recently found the bag to beat all bags!

I go to Disney World for my job as a theme park reporter, and in the past few years of doing that, I’ve packed a park bag over 250 times.
Let’s pack a park bag together!
Yep, that’s right, I did the math, and we’re well into the triple digits here. At home, I have a designated box of theme park supplies and an array of bags to choose from, some specific to the season, park, weather, or itinerary. So today, I’m here to share my expertise with you. Let’s get packing!
Before you set foot in Universal Epic Universe, there are some RULES you need to know.
Gate at Epic Universe
Of course, when we mention “rules,” you often think about guest behavior in the park and avoiding getting kicked out. But what about when we say “locker rules?” Yep, you’ll spot lockers a few different places in Epic Universe, and you may be REQUIRED to use them.
We talk a lot about our park bags when we talk about visiting Disney World because we have several bags that we’ve tried and loved. Of course, there’s our old standby, Loungefly bags, especially the cute ones we have of our favorite characters and movies.
Our pin-displaying sling bag!
We’ve also tried our share of fanny packs, as well as sling bags. But speaking of sling bags, we just recently found one that does double duty...it’s not JUST a sling bag, but it’s also designed to showcase your pin collection!
Okay, so it’s time to start thinking about how you’re going to pack your park bag for Disney World…but you don’t know what to include!
We love our Loungeflys!
Maybe you’ve got the basics — water bottle, wallet, portable charger, and a handheld fan — but you want to level up your packing game. Well, luckily, we have a team of people who go to the theme parks every day, and we know just the thing to make your park bag 10x better in 2026!
Budgeting for your Disney World trip? Oh, do we have HACKS for you!

Planning a trip to Disney World can be complicated, and that goes even BEYOND the actual planning of the vacation, figuring out a budget, where to stay, what tickets you need, where you’re eating, and more. Yep, even after you’ve done all that, then you have to start thinking about what to pack and what you’ll need for a day bag because you WILL need a day bag in the parks.

There are lots of “Disney essentials” online. Some go viral, but just because it’s viral doesn’t mean it actually works.
