So, you’re going to Disney World. You’ve secured your resort accommodations, purchased your tickets, and made your dining reservations. Woo hoo! You’re all set. Until you realize that you need a handy little bag to carry all your stuff around in. But what kind of bag is best for park touring? I thought you’d never ask.
In shopping for just the right bag, you’re best served by looking for a bag that is both lightweight and organized. Ideally, you’d like a zippered front fold-down pouch, a mesh pocket for a water bottle, and a padded strap. The most comfortable and convenient bags, in my opinion, can be worn across the body. I also tend to look for a bag that is dark and color and doesn’t necessarily stand out in a crowd, just because when I’m traveling I prefer not to call attention to any excess cash I might be carrying.
These are some of the very best bags to have on hand (or on your shoulder, as the case may be) as you tour the parks.
I own a bag very similar to this one. Baggalliniis well-known for its organizational features. Especially helpful is the front zip-down pouch. It makes for an ideal spot to keep park tickets, FASTPASSES, and cash.
This Overland Equipment bag is very similar, and a lot of people rave about the quality of the brand. Functionally, it’s very similar to the Baggallini above. Bonus: it’s available in a virtual rainbow of great colors.
I love this one for its crossbody style and manageable size. And the price is pretty tough to beat, don’t you think?

You think of everything, don’t you?
I love messenger bags for Disney or any attraction. Everything’s right where you need it. I use my Thirty-One organizing shoulder bag.
I agree – you do think of everything. Off to check them out. Do you carry around your dslr or just a point/shoot or just your phone camera for the parks?
I’ve done it both ways. This trip I carried my digital dslr and it wasn’t bad. I don’t have any fancy lenses for it, so it’s pretty lightweight. For a first trip, I’d definitely recommend lugging your best camera because you’re probably going to want to get some great shots for the blog or scrapbook.
I ordered one, thanks! I was in need of something like this. I hope it comes before our trip to the pumpkin farm next Monday.
I really like the design of that front zip-down pouch, and the color is cute too!
does anybody know if a waterproof backpack is needed?
