Comfort is key for a successful Disney World vacation. This also includes which park bag you should bring to the parks. It should be comfortable to carry and practical for your group. Smaller ones work for some guests while others need or want to carry more items with them making a larger bag necessary.
Size is another factor to consider for a park bag. Decide how much room you will need when reviewing the following 5 options. Then, look for an option that is comfortable to you.

1. Backpack
A Backpack is a top choice by many guests. It allows for many items with various zippered pockets. Plus, carrying a backpack leaves your hands free while walking and distributes the weight evenly while carrying on back. Plus, all Disney rides have a spot to place your bags while enjoying rides and attractions, so your backpack never has to leave your side. Consider the Disney Themed Backpacks by Jansport for many fun choices

2. Fanny Pack
While a Fanny Pack may have been a fad of the 80’s & 90’s, some guests still swear by them. They are lightweight and hold just enough items for essentials. Another benefit, they leave guests hands free while roaming the parks. Fanny Packs are still sold regularly at Kohl’s, Macy’s and more retailers.

The extra zippered pockets are perfect for pins and other small items. Finding one with drink storage on the side is a bonus. Pictured above is Sling-Back Bag – Charcoal Crosshatch by thirty-one.

Amazon has a nice selection of drawstring backpacks, such as the Minnie Mouse and Mickey Mouse drawstring backpacks. These are perfect for guests that only want to carry the minimum to the parks, or as extra bags for children to carry their own items.
