Overall Best Bag for Disney – My Top Pick

Let’s just get this out of the way and talk about my favorite overall bag for Disney. Yes, it’s a no name bag you’ve never heard of. But trust me, it’s awesome.

I have personally used this bag over and over again at Disney, causing me to double down on why the SEEU Ultralight Sling Bag is my overall top pick for the best bag for Disney.

Here’s a brief summary of why this bag is so great for Disney. Then we’ll talk about why some of these features are so important.

Further on in the post we’ll explore all manner of other great options for your Disney trip.

SEEU Ultralight Sling Bag

We’ll take a look at some more details about why this bag is one of my favorites below.

What kind of bag should I bring to Disney?

Let’s start off with perhaps the most relevant question: What kind of bag should I bring to Disney? The answer to this question is going to vary depending on each family’s needs.

There are so many different types of bags to choose from. Throughout this article we’ll take a look at a variety of different options and look at pros and cons of each.

In general, here are some important features to look for when choosing the best bag for Disney.

  • Size to meet your needs
  • Water resistance

Let’s take a look at this in more detail. Because if you’re reading this, you’re clearly already curious about this!

Frankly, this is probably the number 1 consideration when choosing the type of bag to use at Disney. Think about it, you’re going to wear this bag for hours and hours a day, multiple days in a row.

While you of course need to take other factors into consideration, please make sure you choose a bag for Disney that’s comfortable.

So what goes into making a bag comfortable?

Comfortable Straps

If at all possible, padded straps are going to make your experience a whole lot better. The wider they are, they more the weight and pressure is going to be distributed.

In the end, this makes the bag more comfortable for all day use.

Breathability

Picture wearing a backpack for 10+ hours, with the material pressing against your back. Now picture doing that while in 90+ degree weather with high humidity.

There’s the high potential here for your back to be absolutely soaked very early on in the day.

This makes breathability a key factor in terms of comfort. Many bags come with mesh backs and channels to allow some air flow. Your back will still sweat, but at least not as bad as it could.

Extra Support Straps

This one isn’t necessary for everyone, but something to consider regardless. Having extra support straps can help distribute the weight of your bag better.

What do I mean by extra support straps? Have you ever seen those backpacks that have straps and buckles that connect across your chest? That’s what I mean.

By using those straps, it helps use more of your body to carry the weight, not just your shoulders. This helps relieve the pressure on your shoulders.

Also, bags that have straps that hook around your waist are a major plus. The same principle is at work here.

By doing this, much of the weight of the bag is now supported by your hips. This drastically helps reduce fatigue on your back and shoulders.

Size to Meet Your Needs

We’re looking for the butter zone in terms of weight and size. Many people default to choosing the largest bag they can handle so they know they have enough room.

The problem with this? If you have the space, you WILL fill it. And the more you fill it, the heavier the bag becomes.

Again, picture carrying that weight around for 10+ hours a day in 90 degrees.

Start out looking for a bag that’s as lightweight as possible to begin with. No thick and clunky materials to add weight.

From there, figure out the size of bag required to carry just what you NEED to bring, and not a bit more.

Easy Access Pockets

You might be scratching your head over this one. Why on earth are pockets so gosh darn important?

It’s all about easy access and organization, my friend.

Clearly, your bag will need a main pocket, but do you also want water bottle pockets? How about smaller pockets for easily accessible items? Do you want a tablet pocket?

I think you see where I’m going with this. Think about how you generally need to use the bag and let that guide your decisions.

Water Resistance

Water resistance is perhaps not an absolute need for your Disney park bag, but it certainly comes in handy.

As I’m sure you’ve heard, Florida is called the Sunshine State. But don’t be fooled, when it rains, it pours.

And in the wet season, this usually happens for 20 minutes or so, every single afternoon. Sheets and sheets of rain.

I’m sure you see where this is going.

Having a bag with at least some water resistance could come in handy if/when it rains. Do you know how much heavier a water logged backpack will get?

Aside from weight, of course you don’t want all your carefully packed items to end up soaked. That entirely defeats the purpose of having them in the first place.

What is Disney’s Bag Policy?

While Disney is pretty darn flexible with their bag policy, they do have some basic rules to understand when choosing your Disney park bag.

The first thing to understand is that all bags are subject to screening/security checks. This is a lot easier now than it used to be. Now, you mainly just walk through a screening device and go on your way.

However, you should still be prepared for the possibility of having your bag checked as they do pull people aside for this.

In terms of size, bags must be smaller than 24″ long x 15″ wide x 18″ high. These dimensions also include suitcases and coolers, with or without wheels.

Note, that size is only for bags to bring into the parks. This doesn’t include the luggage you take to the resorts.

Keep in mind, Disney does have a list of prohibited items for the parks. Make sure you read through Disney’s official prohibited items list so you don’t bring any of them on accident.

Can you bring a bag on Disney rides?

Since we all agree that most families need to carry a bag, this becomes a highly relevant question. Because if you can’t bring it on the rides, what exactly would you do with it?

The good news: Yes! You can bring a bag on most Disney rides.

In fact, I highly recommend that you do so. Please don’t leave your bag sitting in a parked stroller while you ride.

Keep all of your valuables and ID in the Disney park bag that will go on the rides with you. Simply place the bag on the floor of the ride vehicle and you’re good to go.

On the roller coasters (especially Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster because it goes upside down), I loop the strap around my leg so I know it’s secure.

Or, go for the hands free approach and wear a fanny pack. You won’t even need to take it off to ride.

The only ride that does not allow ANY bags at all is the new Tron Lightcycle Run rollercoaster in Magic Kingdom . For that ride all bags must be stored in lockers.

The Best Bags for Disney

Now that you have a better idea of what to look for, let’s get down to the business of choosing the best bag for Disney.

I’m going to take a look at various different categories of bags as different people have different preferences.

So, from backpacks to sling bags to fanny packs, let’s dive in.

Best Backpack for Disney

Let’s face it, a backpack is definitely the preferred type of bag for most people going on any sort of trip. But trust me, any old backpack won’t work. You need the best lightweight backpack for Disney.

When looking for a backpack for Disney, please make sure you think through the size and functionality. You really don’t want to lug around the equivalent of a small suitcase on your back.

When searching, use keywords like “ small hiking backpack “. This will give you bags that often have chest straps, multiple pockets, are water resistant, and lightweight.

Let’s highlight a couple of specific examples of the best backpack for Disney.

Sunhiker Backpack

best travel purse for disney

The Sunhiker Backpack does a darn near perfect job of meeting all the requirements for a day at Disney.

This bag doesn’t just have a chest strap, it has one that adjusts up and down the shoulder straps. This makes it customizable for your ultimate comfort.

It also has a waist strap for added support, again to help minimize shoulder and back fatigue. However, some reviewers to comment that the waist strap is likely not large enough to fit a variety of body types.

There are not one, but two mesh water bottle pockets, in addition to 3 other pockets to allow ultimate organization of your stuff.

The backpack is made of water resistant, lightweight nylon. There are also padded and breathable shoulder straps and a breathable back.

I deliberately chose this bag for it’s somewhat smaller size. It’s still capable of fitting a good amount of stuff, but it won’t allow you to pack everything plus the kitchen sink.

This bag has 4.5 stars with over 6000 reviews on Amazon. It’s been tried and tested by thousands of people in various situations and holds up beautifully.

All in all, this is a great lightweight backpack for Disney.

Osprey Daylite Plus Daypack

best travel purse for disney

For anyone looking for a bit of a splurge, the Osprey Daylite Plus is a great option. Osprey is a well known company with a reputation for quality gear, so for that extra money you get that assurance.

This backpack is a more traditionally sized backpack so allows you to carry a lot of items. It has a variety of pockets to improve your organization and easy access.

It also has two mesh water bottle pockets on the sides. The pockets are generously sized so they hold even larger water bottles securely.

And of course, this bag has both the chest clip and the waist clip to help battle all that shoulder fatigue.

It comes in a variety of colors and is definitely a more stylish backpack. It is made from water resistant material to help slow down the rate your stuff gets wet in a rainstorm.

It’s on the larger size, so again, you run the risk of overpacking and lugging around a lot of extra weight. Other than that, this is a great pack.

best travel purse for disney

If you like the looks of the larger bag but want a smaller option, try the Osprey Daylite Daypack . This bag has a lot of the same great characteristics, but comes in a smaller size.

This helps blend the best of both worlds when it comes to a backpack for Disney.

Again, the price tag on this bag is on the higher side, actually not much cheaper than it’s larger cousin. But if you’re looking for a smaller bag for any sort of travel, this is a solid option.

Best Sling Bag for Disney

If you noticed my #1 pick for the best bag for Disney at the beginning of this post, then you already know I’m a huge fan of sling bags.

In fact, slings bags are my preference for Disney World instead of backpacks.

I simply feel that they give you the best of all worlds and benefits. So, what are some examples of the best sling bag for Disney?

SEEU Sling Bag

best travel purse for disney

And here we are, my overall pick for the best bag for Disney: the SEEU Sling Bag . This is the bag my family has personally used for countless trips to Disney, the zoo, hiking, bike riding, etc.

As you can tell, we’ve gotten a lot of mileage out of this bag.

I already mentioned above all of the various specs that make this bag perfect for Disney. But here’s my personal anecdotal experiences.

Even though it’s smaller than most backpacks, I’ve had no problem fitting everything in it that my family of 4 truly needs for a day at Disney.

In fact, I even fit an 11″ Chromebook in it before.

But really, the most important part is the overall comfort of using it all day long. The waist strap is the true game changer for me. By hooking that strap it helps relieve so much pressure on my shoulders and back.

Also, the hooked waist strap actually lets the back slouch so there’s minimal contact on my back. I can’t tell you how much this cuts down on that lovely back sweat.

And when one shoulder does get a little tired after 8 hours of walking around, I switch the direction of the shoulder strap and move it to the other shoulder. It’s like a second wind!

A downside of the bag is definitely the fact that there’s only one water bottle slot. Heavier water bottles are also prone to falling out, depending on which shoulder you carry the bag on.

However, while researching this post I discovered there is actually an elastic strap with a toggle to hold the water bottle in place. You can’t imagine how excited I was to figure out what that little strap was for.

Ever since this discovery I’ve tested it with my heavy metal insulated water bottle, and it’s now snug and secure, not falling out a single time.

My only other quibble with the bag is I wish the pocket on the chest strap was a little larger. If you have a larger phone it might not fit. My Google Pixel 4a fits with a bulky case on it. But it’s fairly maxed out.

The saving grace is the fact that the fabric of the pocket is a stretchy mesh so it does expand to allow you to fit a bit more.

WATERFLY Sling Bag

best travel purse for disney

The WATERFLY Sling Bag is a great alternative to my beloved SEEU Sling Bag . The fact that is has 2 water bottle pockets is definitely a bonus, and fixes a weakness of the SEEU Sling Bag.

And let’s face it, it’s probably a bit more stylish than the SEEU as well. I also like the larger size of the chest strap pocket. That should easily fit a cell phone, as long as you don’t have an enormous one.

This bag is smaller in size as well, which helps keep you from packing too much stuff, but is a problem if it’s too small for your needs.

The material is stiffer than a nylon ripstop so isn’t as packable as other options. It also doesn’t have a waist strap to provide extra support for shoulder fatigue.

Overall, reviewers rave about this back. One complaint that does come up often is the lack of functionality of that tiny front pocket. Reviewers say you can fit a pack of tissues and some lip balm in there, but not much else.

Best Fanny Pack for Disney

Fanny packs are back, baby! And personally, I feel like they could be the best way to carry your stuff at Disney.

On a recent trip, I purchased a fanny pack for the sole purpose of testing it out. And let me just tell you, I’m a convert now.

Because I know how polarizing fanny packs can be, I’ve added a pros and cons section just for fanny packs.

Frankly, I think those of us who grew up in the 80s and 90s are slightly traumatized by the un-coolness of fanny packs at the time. But trust me, it’s time to let that go.

ZOMAKE Large Fanny Pack

best travel purse for disney

The ZOMAKE Fanny Pack might not be the most fashionable thing out there, but let me just tell you, it’s fantastic for Disney.

This is the exact fanny pack I use at Disney so it’s tried and tested.

The three pockets allow you to keep things pretty darn organized. Inside the largest pocket there are even mini pockets for further organization.

In fact, I chose this particular fanny pack because of it’s larger size and many pockets. Again, this makes it a bit more unfashionable, but improves functionality.

It’s made of water resistant nylon and has a comfortable breathable layer on the back.

It comes in a variety of colors so you can choose your favorite. It’s also very affordable, more so than most backpacks and bags.

The adjustment of the straps can be a little finicky. They very easily loosen while you’re trying to get it on. However, once on my body, I never had any issues with it loosening during wear.

I find the large brand name across the front obnoxious. I really wish they had done a more subtle logo as I feel this really detracts from the appearance of the bag. But, I decided to ignore than when I chose it and I’m glad that I did.

This really is the best fanny pack for Disney hands down.

WATERFLY Fanny Pack

best travel purse for disney

This Waterfly fanny pack is another style I personally own and use in the theme parks. For style and appearance, I prefer this one to the Zomake bag mentioned above.

It’s definitely more attractive than the Zomake. However, in large part this is due to the smaller size. That means that you definitely can’t fit as much in this waist pack.

That aside, it’s still very functional for people who want it for just that reason: carrying less stuff around Disney.

The very smart layout of this bag is a large portion of why it’s so functional. There are 2 small front pockets are easily accessible for small items that are easier to find when corralled. I typically put my travel wallet, chapstick, car key and nail clippers in these pockets.

In addition, there are 2 large pockets as well. The largest pocket also has a card organizer directly in it if you want to avoid carrying a wallet at all.

The material is water resistant and the heathered color options are attractive.

Surprisingly, I really like having the headphone hole, though I didn’t think I would actually use it when I first ordered it. However, that hole is perfect for threading the charging cord through when I’m using my favorite portable charger (a must on a Disney vacation).

This allows me to leave the charger zippered into my fanny pack, thread the cord through the access hole in the pouch, and use my phone while it charges.

Here’s an example of what I was able to fit into this fanny pack:

  • Small travel wallet
  • Nail clippers
  • USB charger with cord
  • Feminine hygiene products
  • Travel size sunscreen
  • Packet of hydration powder
  • Pain reliever/bandages

Don’t get me wrong, when all of this is in there, it’s a tight fit and I have to make sure it’s all in the proper place. But most of the time my phone is in my pocket anyway and that frees up space.

Waterfly also makes smaller and larger sized fanny packs, so check those out as well if this one doesn’t suit your needs.

Pros to Using a Fanny Pack at Disney

It can basically be summed up as follows: hands free easy accessibility.

Everything you need is right at your fingertips, directly in front of your body. There’s no need to take the bag off in order to retrieve your stuff.

You can even wear it on most of the rides, so no need to fuss around with where to put your bag while on the rides.

You definitely need to play around with just where to position the bag with some of the safety bars/harnesses, but trust me, it’s doable.

The smaller size of fanny packs also force you to prioritize bringing only the items that you absolutely need to have.

Quite simply it’s the most convenient and easy to use option for a day at Disney.

Cons to Using a Fanny Pack at Disney

There aren’t too many cons as far as I’m concerned, but there are definitely some.

Unless you bring a fanny pack that’s designed for hiking, there’s no place to put a water bottle.

Also, the smaller size can definitely be limiting. For families that really do need to bring a lot of things, fanny packs probably aren’t the best option.

And let’s not forget that for those of us who are old enough, this is an instant flashback to the 80s and 90s. At least fanny packs are more stylish now than they used to be!

Best Purse for Disney World

For some people, a purse is the way to go and that’s that! If that’s that case, you must consider the best type of purse to bring to Disney. If you do plan to carry a purse, make sure it’s a crossbody style.

Again, the crossbody style helps to distribute the weight of the bag a little bit better. Crossbody bags also allow you to go completely hands free. No need to hold the purse or the strap to keep it on your shoulder.

Baggalini Triple Zip

best travel purse for disney

The Baggalini Triple Zip Crossbody Bag is a great option for those who prefer to carry a purse. It’s a style the specifically designed with features that make it good for traveling.

It’s a smaller size bag so you aren’t carrying around a suitcase on your shoulder. However, it has multiple pockets, allowing you to keep your belongings organized.

The material is water resistant and lightweight. One of the interior pockets has card slots to keep you ID and credit cards organized. This is a nice feature to avoid carrying a bulky wallet. More room for other stuff!

The Baggalini Triple Zip comes in a variety of colors and a few patterns. It even has belt loops on the back of the bag, giving you the option to convert it to a fanny pack. Perhaps this bag is the best of both worlds!

The shoulder strap is on the thin side and has no padding, as is typical of most purses. This means if you pack your bag on the heavier side, you’ll likely experience some extra pressure on your shoulder from the strap.

Travelon Classic Messenger Bag

best travel purse for disney

Travelon is probably one of the bigger names when it comes to purses designed for travel and anti-theft features.

The Travelon Classic Messenger Bag is a great purse for Disney, or any sort of travel, really.

It has a 5-point anti-theft security system, including RFID blocking, slash resistant shoulder straps and body panels, and locking straps and compartments.

In a real coup for a purse, there are two mesh zippered water bottle compartments on the outside of the bag. There are also 2 multi-organizational compartments.

This bag is on the larger size for a purse, allowing you to fit a fair number of items in it. It measures 11″x10″x4.5″.

There is a also a card organizing section, again, allowing you to leave the bulky wallet at home.

The shoulder strap is adjustable but doesn’t have any sort of padding to increase comfort. Travelon bags also tend to be a bit pricier than most other crossbody bags because of all the safety features.

If this Travelon bag isn’t exactly what you’re looking for, do not fear, there are a ton more sizes and styles to choose from .

In fact, my sister has used this exact Travelon bag on quite a few occasions when she came with me to Disney.

She loves this bag for Disney . She states that it’s small enough that it’s fine on the rides but big enough to hold the necessities.

Alternate Bags for Disney

There are a few categories of bags I want to include in this post. I still maintain that the ones listed above are the best bags to carry at Disney World. However, there are some other options to consider as well.

Let’s face it, everything I listed above is all about practicality, sometimes at the sacrifice of cuteness. But as you walk around Disney, you’ll see so many people carrying Disney themed bags.

These bags don’t necessarily tick all the boxes for what I think is necessary for a day at Disney, but it’s always nice to explore the more stylish options.

And the last option listed is a great one for families trying to save some money on dining at Disney .

Any Loungefly Bag

best travel purse for disney

By far, Disney themed bags by Loungefly are the most popular type of bag for Disney. In fact, you can buy Loungefly bags in just about every single gift store at Disney World.

But you don’t have to wait until you get to Disney World to buy one. There are tons of Loungefly styles to choose from on Amazon .

There are princess themed bags, Mickey bags, Minnie bags, Disney dogs, Pixar, seriously, you name it and there’s probably a Loungefly bag made with that theme.

These are called “mini-backpacks”, and while there might be slight size differences from one bag to another, they are typically 9″ x 10″ x 4.5″.

While you won’t be able to fit a ton in it, there should be enough room for one person’s things, plus a little extra.

Some of the styles have padded straps, but not all. Take that into consideration when choosing your style. This will clearly impact that overall comfort of the bag.

As long as you don’t pack it with a lot of heavy things, you should be fine.

My daughter has a Loungefly bag she’s used at Disney and she loves it. Then again, she’s 14 and has that young person energy and endurance.

I have a Loungefly bag that I use in my day to day life and I love it. It makes a great purse, and I can fit a fair amount of items in it, including a 20oz metal water bottle.

In that sense, Loungefly bags really are great for Disney World. And you will be perfectly on theme.

Tourit Insulated Cooler Backpack

best travel purse for disney

The Tourit Insulated Cooler Backpack has the advantage of looking just like a regular backpack, with all the bonuses of being able to keep food cool.

Many people don’t realize that you can bring a cooler full of meals into Disney. This is one of the biggest ways to save money on food at Disney.

This backpack has a large enough capacity to hold 25 cans, which I think is inadvisable from a weight standpoint, but it lets you see how large it is.

There are three compartments, two of them not insulated to hold some of your standard necessities. You also get two mesh water bottle pockets on the sides.

This type of bag forces you to either pare down the amount of other items you bring into the parks, or have a second person in your group carry a bag too.

There simply isn’t a lot of capacity for non-perishable items.

What should I pack in my Disney bag?

Purple wall at Magic Kingdom

This is the question that naturally comes along when considering the best Disney park bag. And there is a wide array of opinions on what you should and shouldn’t pack in your bag.

Everyone falls into different camps: some are minimalists and want to carry the bare minimum (some people even go bagless!), while others are over packers.

I will admit I fall into the overpacking category. However, I think I’ve learned how to pare everything down so I’m carrying a reasonable amount of stuff.

I mean come on, I managed to wear only a fanny pack!

In light of this, I want to break this section down to two categories: 1) Absolute must haves, and 2) Can be nice if you have space.

Disney Park Bag Must Haves

Ok, here are the things that I deem essential to have with you during a long day at the parks.

  • Portable Phone Charger with charging cord
  • Disney gift cards
  • Credit card/cash just in case
  • Travel size sunscreen (smaller bottle size to minimize space and weight)
  • Lip balm with SPF
  • A few Band-Aids – yes, you can get them for free at the first aid station at each of the parks, but they don’t take up much room and I prefer to have access to them the moment I need them
  • Pain reliever/any necessary medication

If you want to go minimalistic, then this is a solid list to start with. I fit more than this in my fanny pack during my last trip.

A Word About Portable Phone Chargers at Disney…

There is a reason why I’m listing this first. If you bring nothing else with you other than your ID, it needs to be a portable phone charger.

I’m serious, even if you go without a bag, get one to fit into your pocket. You’ll be glad you did.

A day at a Disney park relies heavily on your cell phone for all manner of things. Just taking pictures alone will drain your battery.

But if you are using the MagicMobile Pass on your cell phone, it starts upping the usage. And then you can add in checking wait times, using Disney Genie , and so on.

Your battery drains seriously fast. That’s why you should always bring a portable phone charger and a charging cord.

I’ve tried a few chargers, and my favorite is this INIU charger . It’s on the cheaper end for portable chargers but it works phenomenally.

I’m able to get multiple charges done without it losing its juice.

I have a post all about keeping your phone charged at Disney , so take a look at that to get some more details.

Other Disney Park Bag Items

Ok, this is where the list can start to get extensive. There are a million and one items out there which could potentially make your day easier.

Please, don’t bring all of them. You won’t need everything. And some things you might need only during certain times of the year.

So use your judgement when it comes to these suggestions.

  • Cooling towel like this one – this one can be handy during the very hot summer months, helps keep you cool even when it’s 95 degrees out
  • Ponchos/Umbrella
  • Portable neck fan – another one that’s specifically for the hottest months
  • Hydration packets – this might seem weird, but dehydration at Disney is very real. Adding these to a standard bottle of water helps boost your hydration
  • Moleskin – this helps to provide extra cushion to prevent blisters
  • Body Glide – if you are someone prone to chafing, put this on before you leave your room, then bring it with you in case you need more later in the day
  • Reusable water bottle – this is a great way to save some money on beverages during the day (P.S. you can get free ice water at all dining locations)
  • Reusable metal straws – if you really don’t like using paper or noodle straws, this might be a must have for you (there are no plastic straws at Disney)

Organization while traveling is key, so we recommend having one designated spot for storing travel essentials like a passport, money, and technology. While you can store these items in a bigger bag en route to your destination, a more portable bag like a purse, mini backpack, or sling bag may be a better option.

We consulted our Travel + Leisure staff as well as other industry experts across our team to get recommendations for travel purses that are tried and true by frequent fliers. We received  submissions from over 30 seasoned travelers for bags they've used anywhere from six months to over four years all around the globe. We selected 11 purses that received the highest praise and broke down why we think you’ll love them, too.

The large purse has a pocket for every travel essential you could ever need to pack.

It can get heavy when it’s packed full.

Lo & Sons makes some of our favorite travel bags, so it’s no surprise that this one came highly recommended for its spacious capacity and superior organizational features. The large shoulder bag comes with a padded laptop pocket that can store and protect devices up to 13 inches long, or you can place a laptop up to 16 inches in the main compartment, but it won’t be in the padded section.

For any other travel essentials, this bag has you covered with plenty of small pockets in the main section of the bag for phone chargers and snacks, and there’s a water bottle pocket to stay hydrated on the go. The front zippered pocket has smaller pockets inside to store grab-and-go items like a phone, wallet, and passport. Best of all, the bag has a discrete side pocket for a pair of shoes when you're using it as an overnight bag. And, of course, the more you pack the nylon bag, the heavier it will get, but it does have a trolley sleeve for securing it to a suitcase if it feels cumbersome to carry.

Cheruty backpack purse.

The stylish backpack has a modular design so you can carry it three ways.

The anti-theft design makes it less convenient to grab items.

Versatility is key with a travel purse, so we love that this backpack purse can be carried in multiple ways. While the purse is designed for use as a backpack with the built-in backpack straps, it also has a top handle and removable crossbody strap to convert the style as desired. Our favorite part of the backpack is the anti-theft design featuring a main compartment that is only accessible from the back zipper. There is a front zippered pocket to store small items like lip balm or a phone charger and the interior has four zippered and slip pockets for staying organized. The anti-theft design makes it a little less convenient to grab items quickly, but it offers peace of mind in crowded spaces since it’s much more difficult for pickpocketing to occur. This bag also earned praise for being effortlessly stylish thanks to the sleek faux leather look over two dozen color options.

Quince Revive Nylon Large Tote

The nylon material is super lightweight and easy to wipe-clean on the go.

It doesn’t have a top zipper.

Looking for a purse that’s easy to pack? Quince’s nylon tote bag is impressively lightweight whether you’re toting it around while sightseeing or packing it away in a bigger suitcase. While we love a leather bag, nylon material can be a safer option for travel since it’s easy to spot-clean with some soap and water on the go, and is typically lighter so it won’t weigh down your shoulder when packed full of the essentials. This tote’s interior has designated pockets for a laptop and water bottle, and various slip and zippered pockets to organize smaller items. For security reasons, it would be nice if the bag had a zip-top instead of a magnetic closure, but the slim design of the bag makes it easy to keep it close to you while traveling. The tote also has two exterior slip pockets and it comes in Oxford blue, olive, and black color options.

The Details: 17 x 13 x 7 inches | Recycled nylon | Water resistant | 15-inch laptop pocket

Best Shoulder Bag

Uniqlo round mini shoulder bag.

  • Capacity 2 /5

The nylon bag is easy to compress and pack down for excellent portability.

It’s not big enough to store tablets or laptops.

Crescent bags are a bit more stylish than a traditional fanny pack, but the style offers similar security to a sling bag that rests on the upper body. The simplicity of this Uniqlo shoulder bag makes it an excellent choice for travelers in search of a packable bag to store the essentials. It’s big enough to carry a phone, wallet, passport, or other smaller items, but it isn’t large enough to hold laptops or tablets. If you need to consolidate your personal belongings before getting on an airplane, this nylon bag compresses down and can be folded up to seamlessly fit in a backpack or carry-on. The water-resistant bag is also machine washable and comes in seven earthy colors. And, the purse is the most affordable option on this list if you can’t choose just one color.

The Details: 11 x 7 x 3.9 inches | Nylon | Water resistant

Best Fanny Pack

Dagne dover ace fanny pack.

Dagne Dover

  • Quality 5 /5
  • Capacity 4 /5

The spacious fanny pack is made with durable and waterproof neoprene fabric.

Dirt and dust are easily attracted to the fabric.

If you’re traveling somewhere damp or rainy, you’ll want a purse made of waterproof materials to protect your belongings. This Dagne Dover fanny pack is made with the brand’s signature neoprene material that wards off inclement weather and rough handling thanks to the thick cushion of the fabric. While we love the protective material, it is prone to catching dust and dirt, but it can be easily spot-cleaned so it isn’t a deal-breaker by any means. The interior is big enough to fit phones, wallets, eReaders, and sunglasses with plenty of room to spare, but it isn’t so large that it feels bulky to wear. The nylon strap can be adjusted to wear the fanny pack comfortably around the waist and shoulder or as a crossbody sling bag, which is ideal for versatility while traveling or running errands. There are several slip pockets and a zippered one in the front to store and organize small items and the fanny pack comes in six color options.

The Details: 9.25 x 5.5 x 2.75 inches | Neoprene | Water resistant

Best Crossbody

Baggallini everywhere bagg.

The lightweight materials and adjustable crossbody strap offer all-day comfort.

The interior could benefit from a divider to separate the spacious compartment.

The Baggallini Everywhere Bag is travel expert-endorsed largely due to the fact that it offers superior comfort compared to other crossbody bags on the market. The entire bag and strap are made of a lightweight nylon fabric that won’t rub or dig when it’s being worn across the body or as a shoulder bag. Large enough to fit an iPad or tablet, the purse has an impressive capacity for storing everything from the bare necessities like a wallet and keys to tech gadgets for air travel. The medium-size purse is chock full of pockets on the inside and outside, and there’s even a discrete side pocket for easy access to phones or wallets. The main compartment has a pocket for tablets and a few small slip pockets, but we wish there was a divider or more pockets to prevent items from getting lost in the bottom of the bag. We also love that there is a trolley sleeve in the back and the bag comes with an RFID-blocking removable wristlet as a thoughtful touch.

The Details: 11 x 9 x 5 inches | Nylon | Water resistant

Best Clutch

Radley london sundown avenue weave medium flapover clutch.

Radley London

  • Capacity 3 /5
  • Comfort 5 /5

The compact purse can be worn as a crossbody bag or carried as a clutch.

The chain strap is not adjustable.

For travel looks that require a chic purse to complete the outfit, we recommend this convertible clutch from Radley London. It’s made with high-quality genuine leather with a woven design and elegant gold hardware that gives the purse a truly elevated design. And for the best part: it comes with a removable chain to style the purse as a crossbody or carry it as a clutch for upscale events like weddings or fancy dinners. The chain strap is effortlessly chic, but we wish it was adjustable or slightly longer since the shorter chain is a bit awkward to use with the bag. The size is small enough to fit in a backpack or suitcase, and the magnetic-closing bag can fit various small items like lipstick, credit cards, and a phone.

The Details: 11 x 6 x 4 inches | Leather | Detachable chain strap

Best Packable

Longchamp le pliage original backpack.

The backpack can fold up to a fraction of its original size.

It doesn’t offer any pockets for organization.

If you don’t want your travel purse to count as a personal item or carry-on for flying, Longchamp’s packable mini backpack is a game-changer for saving space. While the bag is already smaller in size, it can fold up with the help of built-in snap-closures to compress the backpack into a small rectangle that packs flat. The bag can then be placed into a large piece of luggage for travel and unfolded to create the perfect purse for a day of sightseeing. It can hold bulkier items like a tablet, camera, water bottle, and wallet without feeling heavy or weighed down. One thing to note is that the bag doesn’t offer organizational features like pockets, so you may want to use a small pouch to organize smaller items. The recycled polyamide canvas backpack looks elegant and it comes in seven color options, but if backpacks aren’t your preferred way of carrying items, the brand also carries a similar packable Le Pliage Original Tote Bag that came highly recommended by T+L travel experts, too.

The Details: 11 x 10.2 x 3.9 inches | Recycled polyamide canvas

Best Machine Washable

Baggu nylon crescent bag.

  • Value 4.8 /5

You can toss this nylon bag in a washing machine after a trip for hassle-free upkeep.

Consider air-drying the bag to prevent pilling or shrinkage.

Traveling can speed up the typical wear and tear on a purse, especially for frequent fliers, so this machine-washable bag from Baggu makes it easy to breathe new life into it after trips. Baggu bags are notorious for being easy to pack and this larger crescent purse is no exception thanks to the flexible nylon material that can easily be compressed and folded. The medium size is surprisingly spacious with a large main section for water bottles, snacks, wallets, and a travel tablet , and two slip pockets for lip balm and keys. Plus, the nylon strap is adjustable for the most comfortable fit whether the bag is packed to the brim or with just a few items. Since all travelers have different styles, we love that the bag comes in various solid colors and bold prints to please everyone. While the bag is machine washable, we recommend hanging it up to air dry to prevent any shrinking or damage from a dryer.

The Details: 13.75 x 8 x 4 inches | Recycled heavyweight nylon

Longchamp Le Pliage Filet Mesh Bag

Bloomingdale's

The material has plenty of stretch so it can hold bigger items like beach towels and jackets.

You’ll want to store keys and lip balm in a separate pouch since smaller items can fall through the mesh.

Whether vacationing somewhere tropical or swinging by the farmer’s market, this Longchamp mesh bag is a must-pack. Compact and easy to store in a bigger purse, the bag turns into a Mary Poppins bag once you begin packing it. From jean jackets to beach towels, the cotton mesh material has the slightest bit of stretch to hold bulkier items without anything falling through the perforated design. It can also store fruit, veggies, and flowers if you come across an unexpected farmer’s market while traveling. For smaller items, we recommend using a smaller pouch to keep keys, lip balm, and other skinny items safeguarded from the netting. Depending on your personal style, the bag comes in six color options featuring neutrals like white and brown or bolder colors like pink and green.

The Details: 15 x 12.2 inches | Cotton, gold hardware

Best for Laptops

John fluevog shoes nashua laptop bag.

John Fluevog Shoes

  • Value 4.5 /5

This compact laptop bag comes with tote handles and a crossbody strap that offers both a comfortable and convertible design.

Larger laptops might be a tighter fit.

This recommended John Fluvog leather laptop purse offers protection for your technology while traveling. It’s basically a laptop case with straps to carry it as a crossbody or tote bag, so we love that it’s specifically designed for computers. The removable crossbody strap is made with the same soft leather material and it boasts two little pockets to store small items like lip balm or earbuds that are easy to access from the strap. The interior has a designated slip pocket that can store laptops up to 15 inches long, but anything bigger might be a tight squeeze or not fit at all. Aside from a laptop, travelers can store small water bottles, snacks, notebooks, headphones, or any other essentials in the spacious main compartment. There is a front zippered pocket to conveniently access boarding passes or a phone while traveling. With several color and texture options, shoppers have the choice between black and blue color options made with soft pebbled leather and a brown color made with sleek smooth leather.

The Details: 15 x 11.25 x 2.25 inches | Pebbled leather

Other Travel Purses We Liked

Several travel purses still came highly recommended, but didn’t have as much praise compared to our winner’s list.

Madewell The Transport Saddlebag : The crossbody bag has lots of space to hold travel essentials, but the leather strap isn’t the most comfortable for long periods of time.

Senreve Midi Maestra Bag : We love that the modular design makes it easy to carry the bag in three different ways, but the medium size is a bit awkward for travel since it’s too small to hold a laptop and too bulky to pack in a suitcase.

With recommendations from T+L editors and other trusted travel experts on our team, we compiled this of tried-and-true travel purses. While we accepted all submissions, we narrowed the list down to 11 options that stood out for quality, capacity, and portability. Each bag recommended has been used for at least six months (some have been tested for over four years) and has traveled all around the world with us on various trip types.

Tips for Buying a Travel Purse

Know your storage and organization needs.

Whether you’re a minimalist or maximalist packer, there’s a travel purse out there to fit your needs. For travelers in need of extra space for larger wallets or laptops, we recommend a tote bag or medium-size backpack that often have designated pockets for items of different sizes. Crossbody, sling, and shoulder bags are best for storing just the essentials like phones, credit cards, earbuds, or a small wallet. For an even more streamlined option, a phone purse could be a good choice.

Prioritize comfort

Comfort while traveling is essential, so if you know you’re an over-packer, opt for a backpack or purse with thick, padded straps to help distribute the weight and provide cushioning. In general, you want to look for bags that don't have thin straps (often crossbody bags) since this can often cause discomfort or rubbing.

Think about anti-theft protection

Pickpocketing is a very real threat when traveling and the best way to avoid it is by making sure all of your valuables aren’t easily accessible. Anti-theft protection in travel purses can vary, but the common traits include discrete pockets in the back or interior of the purse, lockable zippers, and cut-resistant fabric.

A personal item is anything (allowed on an airplane, of course) that can fit underneath the seat. That means that purses, backpacks, totes, shopping bags, or laptop cases can count as your allotted personal item. If the airline is strict about personal items, you can always stick your purse inside of a backpack or carry-on to consolidate the number of items.

It depends on the material the purse is made out of and the type of fabric lining. In general, purses should come with manufacturing cleaning instructions, but if not, you can always opt for some soap and water to gently spot clean until you can get the bag professionally cleaned or into a washing machine if allowed.

Check out our top picks for different styles of Bags to wear at Disney, and a quick list of what to pack in it.  #DisneyParks #DisneyWorld #DisneyVacation #DisneyVacationPlanningTips

One of the most useful items you will need on your trip is a backpack for Disney World. Have you seen our Disney World Park Bag Packing List ?

Choosing the Bag for You

Packing your disney park bag.

Keeping in mind that a single family only needs one bottle of sunscreen, yet a separate refillable water bottle for each member, being organized is the key to a successful park bag.

Every member that is capable of carrying their own bag, should be required to carry their personal items. Mutual items can be distributed according to whoever is in charge of rationing out the supplies, like snacks and sunscreen.

Contents for the perfect Disney Park Bag .

Walt Disney World tips, tricks, secrets, & hacks -- Looking for the perfect bag to hold all your stuff for your day at a Disney park? Check out our top picks for different styles of Bags to wear at Disney, and a quick list of what to pack in it.  #DisneyParks #DisneyWorld #DisneyVacation #DisneyVacationPlanningTips

How to choose a bag for Disney World

Test out your new purchase and see how it feels. Fill it up, walk around with it for a few hours, in the heat, and decide if this bag will hold up for the next week or give in after a day and you are forced to buy a new one in the Parks. True story.

Size & Capacity

Not that we want to over-fill our bags to the point that they are too heavy to carry, but it is also important that a bag can carry everything that we need. Start with your packing list, collect everything on said list, then test out which bags have the capacity to contain all of it.

Internal Pockets & Organization

The organization of your bag is the key to sanity. Knowing where everything is, and that it is in its rightful place for when you need it (or giving instructions on where to find it), relieves a lot of unnecessary stress.

External Pockets & Organization

Not only are inside pockets important but outside pockets too. This is usually where we carry our water bottles. I also like to have my lip gloss, sunglasses case and hand cream in a small outside pocket so it is easier to get a hold of when needed. These are things I am not too concerned about if someone were to sneak their little hands into.

Disney is rough on everything, including your bag. All that walking, sweating, taking on and off, can be rough on your bag, not to mention the load-stress of all that you are carrying.

Water Resistance

There are more than enough water rides to warrant a waterproof park bag. But rain also happens once in a while. You will want to have something that will keep your electronics safe from moisture while you seek shelter.

It’s all fine and good until you see the price tag. If it’s out of reach, it’s no good for anyone. Stay within your budget and find something that the wearer will be happy with.

Best Disney Tote & Sling Bags

It doesn’t look like much, but a tote or drawstring bag is a great minimalist way to pack. We have been on countless vacations, including 7 Disney vacations (5 with kids) using only a drawstring bag.

Using the Merchandise delivery service, we do not need extra bags just to carry our purchases. This is a great way to reduce the size of the bags we are carrying around.

Best Disney Cooler Backpacks

Without a stroller to lug snacks and such around in the bottom basket, someone is going to need to carry it on their backs. These backpack coolers are a great way to save a little money on snacks and drinks within the parks, stay cool and stick to the Disney Bag Policy .

Disney Backpacks for Adults

You’re not a minimalist, your kids can’t or won’t take their own bags and you can’t help but over-prepare for a day in the parks lest you need to buy something you already have at the hotel room, a decent backpack day bag is a great way to go.

These are useful for any vacation, not just Disney and have ample room for that someone that can’t leave it behind. I tend to use a backpack when I travel with the kids’ sans hubby since I now have to carry my own necessities and the camera/video equipment.

Disney Backpacks for Kids

Once the kids are old enough, they should be carrying their own items in the parks. We do this for a few reasons; mostly because I don’t want to carry more than I have to, but secondly, if I am carrying everything in my bag, then I am the only one that can care for them easily. Having each child carry their own snacks, change of clothes and water bottles, each parent can attend to a different child because the child will have possession of their own needs.

We can finally take turns bringing the kids to the bathroom!

Plus the kids love being responsible for their own kit. It makes them feel like big kids. Starting early means its not a fight when they are bigger. Win-win!

Girls Backpacks: Minnie Mouse & Frozen

Disney character bags: princess, minnie mouse, aladdin & more.

This is where the function may or may not meet fashion. But who cares, it’s Disney print! While these Disney-themed backpacks don’t have as much storage, waterproofing or weight limit as a traditional travelling backpack, they are Disney-themed, while touring Disney, so that has to count for something.

Best Disney Diaper Bag Backpack

The dreaded diaper bag. Not a day goes by that I am not thankful that my children are old enough to no longer require a diaper bag.

Finding the perfect bag to match my vacation needs, hold everything I need for that day, move freely from stroller to basket to park attraction, is like finding a needle in a haystack. This is also on top of my own park-bag needs so everything needs to fit together into ONE bag.

These 4 have great diaper-bag space while also allowing room for the primary caregiver to hold their personal items within the same bag. They are unisex so parents can trade who is responsible for the diaper bag when not on the stroller and can probably turn into a regular bag after the baby has outgrown the need for diapers and changes of clothes.

Best Disney Crossbody bags

This is perfect for the solo traveller and amateur cameraman. You will want something small since you aren’t carrying as much as families, but also large enough to hold your camera equipment.

The crossbody design allows for easy access into the body of the bag without constantly removing it. Chest pockets are great for holding cell phones and cash/cards where you can easily access them and keep an eye on them at the same time.

Dooney and Bourke Disney Bags

Stylish meets functional in these amazing Dooney and Bourke Disney themed bags. Carry your fondest dreams wherever you go in this fine fashion satchel with leather finishings by Dooney & Bourke.

Coach Disney Bags

Melding first-class quality with super-fun, playful designs, we’re head over heels for the latest Coach Disney Bags.

Disney sleeping bags

If the kids aren’t old enough for their own bed, but too big for a crib or playpen, we have always suggested buying the Regalo My Cot Portable Toddler Bed . We bought ours 7 years ago on the suggestion from a friend and we haven’t looked back.

But, like anything in this world, it doesn’t come with the extras. Grab your kids a Disney sleeping bag and head to that Disney hotel knowing all of your kids will be safe and comfortable on their amazing Disney vacation.

Disney Lunch bags

Disney cars bags.

Disney/Pixar’s Cars has quickly become the star of the show. Everyone wants a piece of the Cars franchise.

Yes. Disney states that bags and coolers, with or without wheels, cannot be larger than 24″ long x 15″ wide x 18″ high. The Park Rules are updated regularly, so just be sure you review them before your trip.

Yes. The Disney World website states that you may bring food and drinks into the park, including all snacks and foods that do not require heating. Be aware that balloons and plastic straws are not permitted in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park for the safety of the animals.

Coolers required for medication may be stored in a locker or at Guest Relations. For your convenience, lockers for storing personal items are available to rent on a daily basis throughout the Disney parks.

Disney security reserves the right to check any and all bags, parcels, and packages entering the parks. They are looking for prohibited items, including glass bottles/jars, drones, weapons, tripods and selfie sticks. Prohibited items change from time to time so be sure to check out Disney’s website to keep up to date.

Guests who are found with a selfie stick at bag check will be escorted directly to Guest Services where they can “check-in” their selfie stick and then pick it up as they are exiting the park. The ban is for several reasons; Guest Experience – having a stick in your face every few feet isn’t the greatest scene when trying to enjoy the theme parks. Safety – once upon a time guests were allowed to take selfie sticks into the parks but not operate them on rides. Due to mass public ignorance, these rules were rarely followed and a strict park ban ensued. Protect the Magic – Disney parks often open up backstage routes during peak times to allow for better crowd movements within the parks. Some of these routes have a simple barrier between public access and backstage holding areas. With selfie-sticks, guests were able to peer into these backstage areas and Disney intends to preserve the magic for all guests.

Just about every Disney attraction will have space for self-storage while on the attraction. Be it a dedicated basket or just ample legroom, if bags conform to the above measurements and guests do not over-stuff them with souvenirs, guests will have no problem taking bags on the rides. Soarin’ is one attraction where you may find your bag won’t fit in the provided space. On that ride, you are asked to store your bags under your seat, however, the storage space is kind of small. But don’t worry! If your bag won’t fit the Cast Members will just ask you to leave it on the floor in front of you. After you are safely buckled in they will move your bag a few feet to the side where you can pick it up after it is over.

What size bag should I bring to Disney?

The size of the bag you should bring to Disney depends on what you plan on doing while you’re there. A small purse or fanny pack will suffice if you’re just park hopping. However, if you’re planning on carrying souvenirs or shopping, you’ll want a larger bag.

The perfect bag has enough room without being too heavy. An adjustable strap and front pocket with a zippered compartment is required when visiting Disney Parks.

Bring a diaper bag with young kids.

If you have young kids, it’s always a good idea to bring along a diaper bag. Pack some snacks and drinks, wipes, diapers, and extra clothes. Diaper bags are an absolute must for moms.

A diaper bag backpack is an easy option to keep your hands free at Walt Disney World. Make sure that it has water bottle pockets for kids who are tired of carrying theirs all day.

Remember that you can keep more than diapers and kids’ things in a diaper bag. It’s also the perfect bag for your wallet, keys, and water bottle.

Remember that there are no glass containers allowed on Disney World trips. Be sure that your water bottles are plastic. This is the best diaper bag I’ve found.

A sling bag is also a good option, especially if you have a baby or toddler. You can wear it in the front so your little one can’t grab it, and you’ll still have easy access to all of your things.

Ensure that it has a zippered pocket to keep all your things secure. Zippered pockets are an absolute must for any Disney bag.

This Maleden sling bag is a great option that is very stylish. The main compartment has lots of room for your Disney trip. There are multip zippered pockets and adjustable shoulder straps. And the breathable mesh doesn’t make you sweat in hot weather.

This is one of my favorite sling bags .

A backpack is a great option for carrying all your things at Disney World, especially if you have kids. You can wear it on your back, so your hands are free to push a stroller or hold a child’s hand.

Make sure that the backpack has several compartments to keep everything organized. And be sure to get one with comfortable straps. This J World backpack has tons of zippered pockets and a built-in rain cover.

Of course, I love all of the Disney backpacks. Make sure you buy your Disney bag before you leave to save money. Things are much more expensive at the Disney World park.

This Minnie Mouse bag with adjustable straps is very stylish! A diaper bag backpack is the best of both worlds.

Crossbody bag

Crossbody bags are perfect for carrying your essentials without getting in the way. It’s also great for keeping your things safe, as you can wear it in front of you.

This Michael Kors crossbody purse is perfect for a day at Disney. It’s small enough to not be too cumbersome, but it has enough room for your essentials. Plus, the crossbody adjustable strap keeps your hands free.

I think this is the best crossbody bag for Disney World. Remember that Disney purses come in a variety of sizes.

A Disney tote bag is perfect for carrying any extra things you might need, like a change of clothes or snacks. And it’s big enough to carry everything you need, but not so big that it’s cumbersome.

This Mickey Mouse tote bag from Amazon is perfect for carrying all your things. It has a zip-top closure and multiple pockets. Plus, it’s stylish and fun.

Small zippered bag

This Tory Burch crossbody bag is the perfect size for carrying your things. Plus, it has a zippered closure to keep everything secure. And it’s stylish, too.

Drawstring bag

A drawstring bag is ideal if you are visiting a water park. It’s one of the best Disney bags to carry wet clothes and towels. Mesh pockets are ideal for sunscreen and chapstick.

You can always bring a mini bag with a zipper pocket to keep your essentials that you don’t want to get wet.

A fanny pack is a great option if you want to keep your things close to you. It’s perfect for carrying your essentials, like your wallet and keys. And it’s small enough to not be too bulky.

This Ban.do fanny pack is super stylish and comes in lots of fun colors and patterns. Plus, it has a zippered closure to keep your things safe. And it’s adjustable, so you can wear it how you want. Learn how to wear a fanny pack .

A lunch sack is a great option if you’re packing your lunch or snacks for the park. It will keep your food fresh and cool. And it’s small enough to not be too bulky.

This insulated lunch sack from Amazon is perfect for carrying your food. It has a zippered closure and an adjustable shoulder strap. This one is so cute.

You can also use a mini backpack for this same purpose. Make sure that it has a water bottle holder and is water-resistant.

What is the best bag for Walt Disney World?

There is no one “best” bag for Disney World. It depends on your individual needs and preferences. However, we recommend getting a comfortable bag with multiple compartments that is stylish.

The Best Backpacks for Disney World In 2023

By Hannah Risser 3 Comments

Have you ever been in the middle of a long park day, only to realize you’re in need of a basic you don’t have? Even the lack of something small, like pain reliever or a poncho, can put a damper on your trip.

best travel purse for disney

Magic Kingdom

Instead of paying park prices for these basics just bring your own in a park bag! Even those who usually prefer to pack light should bring some sort of bag with them to carry a few necessities with them.

While you may be tempted to just pack whatever old bag you can find, just like everything else you plan to bring you should put thought into how it will perform during your trip. You want to make sure you’re choosing the best bag for you or else it will just be another thing to carry! These are our tips for picking the best backpack to bring with you on your next Disney World vacation.

Best Backpack Features for Disney World

When picking a backpack, you want to follow the Goldilocks rule : not too big, not too little, but just right! Consider what you’ll be bringing into the parks : if you like to be prepared for any possibility and are planning on carrying around a lot of items, go bigger. For those who want to stick to the bare bones, there’s no sense in bringing a giant bag you won’t use. While the weight of the bag is important, you can find lightweight backpacks in a variety of sizes. Just be sure to check out what the weight is ahead of time. The average empty backpack weighs between 1 and 6 pounds , and after adding your belongings the final weight needs to be something you’ll be comfortable carrying around for 10+ hours.

best travel purse for disney

You’ll be spending a lot of time on your feet, so you’ll want a backpack that won’t weigh you down

Other features to keep an eye out for are comfortable straps, hidden pockets (for storing valuables), and charging ports for plugging in your phone on the go. You can also find water resistant bags, which are especially useful when visiting from July to September, Florida’s rainy season. There are a ton of features you can find across different backpack brands and styles — consider which aspects will be most useful to you and let that guide your choice!

What do you do with your backpack if you can’t bring it on a ride? I know at a local small park near us, we always feared our bags would be stolen as we are on a ride, so we always got a locker, but it was a small park, Disney is so big, you won’t be near the lockers all the time and it’ll be a walk to which ever one you pick. So is theft an issue at Disney parks? that is my biggest concern.

' src=

February 17, 2023 at 4:58 pm

I might be incorrect, but I don’t believe there are any rides at Disney that you cannot take your backpack. I can’t think of any. The exception is going to be Tron, but they will have lockers AT the ride.

March 24, 2023 at 3:16 pm

I use the Vera Bradley Reactive sling pack. It’s waterproof. I use a slap bracelet through the D-ring or through the straps to attach my Minnie ears. I’m amazed at how much stuff it will hold.

Best Kid Backpacks for Disney

Now, I don’t necessarily recommend your toddler and preschooler carry their own backpack into Disney unless they absolutely must have one.

I do however think a backpack is a great idea for the trip there. I think a festive Disney backpack for the trip whether driving or flying is a great way to get them into the Disney Magic! Stuff the backpack with some Disney coloring books, Disney stickers, Disney books, crayons, and any electronics they use for a fun trip!

Now older kids, especially girls will love having their own little bag they can store their stuff in while at the parks.

Here are the best kid backpacks for Disney .

What Should You Pack in Backpacks for Disney?

There are certain items you must not forget to pack in your backpack for a Disneyland or Walt Disney World vacation.

Save the following list because I promise you it’s so easy to forget some of these!! You don’t want to find yourself at the park without these most important items.

✔️ Portable Power Charger

A portable power charger is so, so important because your phone is going to drain quickly at Disney. I can’t tell you how many times I have forgotten this myself.

When at Disney, you will use your phone for everything. You will constantly be using the My Disney Experience App for making Genie Plus reservations, checking wait times, dining availability, and so on. And of course, you will also be taking plenty of pictures with your phone.

Backpacks are a great place to store your wallet , cash, or credit cards while at Disney.

✔️ Sunscreen

Sunscreen is a must for protecting your skin from the hot Florida sun.

✔️ Hand Sanitizer

Think about all of the rails and rides you will be touching that hundreds of others have also touched. Hand sanitizer is important to keep you healthy.

✔️ Snacks and Water Bottles

It’s always good to have snacks and water bottles on hand, especially for those of us with kids.

✔️ Medications

Don’t forget to bring any medications you take daily with you. Also, bring ibuprofen or acetaminophen in case you get frequent headaches like me. If you have children make sure to bring children’s ibuprofen or acetaminophen. However, if you happen to forget any medications, there is a First Aid at every park that provides medicine.

✔️ Baby Gear- Diapers, Wipes, Pacifier

For moms with babies and toddlers , don’t forget to pack diapers, wipes, and pacifiers. However, if you do forget any of these, there is a baby station in each park where you can purchase diapers and wipes.

Check the forecast before your park day and pack some ponchos if there’s a good chance that it’s going to rain. You can purchase cheap ponchos outside the park. You don’t want to be stuck with having to purchase expensive park ponchos.

I have bought a big box of ponchos on Amazon before for Disney trips. Any extras you have are great for storing at home because you never know when you’ll need them.

✔️ Autograph Book & Pen

If you have kids, they’re probably going to want an autograph book for the characters to sign. Make sure to pack a pen too!

These are not the only items you will stuff in your backpack. The great thing about carrying a backpack is that as the day progresses, you will accumulate things you will need to store. For example, a map and times guide for the parks, souvenirs, your sunglasses, Mickey ears for when your head needs a break, and so on……

The 5 Best Bags and Purses for Your Day at the Disney Parks

I've put together a list of recommended travel bags that i've personally used on my disney world vacations, perfect for those long hot days in the park..

Meredith

Disney World and Disneyland trip planning is a really great way to experience Disney magic while at home for many fans. While some people focus only on snagging a rare Fastpass or getting a dining reservation at Be Our Guest, for me planning what to wear each day in the parks is just as important. With Disney’s new Instagram walls, everybody wants to look great in their family photos. There are a seemingly endless amount of apparel and accessories to get your #DisneyGram look on point: Rose Gold Minnie Ears, Small World Magic Band, matching Mickey shirts. The list goes on and on. But one item that you shouldn’t overlook is your bag. Besides being a key part of your look, having a good lightweight bag can make or break your trip.

I’ve seen many a lovely designer bag being toted around the parks. This is great for about an hour. Disney days typically involve walking 4 to 8 miles, and sometimes more if you are going from rope drop to fireworks. All of our great designer bags that are wonderful at home are typically not versatile enough for an entire day at the parks. The right bag that is both fashionable and functional can make a good trip a great trip. Through a great deal of trial and error, I have become a bit of an expert when it comes to choosing a purse or backpack for Disney. I’ve put together a list of recommended travel bags that I’ve personally used on my Disney World vacations, perfect for those long hot days in the park.

This sling bag can be worn cross-body style either at the back or front, making it a secure choice. This means it’s easy to wear it across your chest when you need to. It’s another good all-rounder for those seeking an alternative to the traditional backpack. Lots of lovely colors and patterns are available too.

  • Cross body bag can be worn at back or front
  • Lots of outer pockets and sleeves

Our second product for those wanting the best backpack cooler for Disney is this Coleman bag.

Its insulated main compartment keeps food and drinks cold. Coleman uses their camping expertise in adding heat-welded seams, as they help prevent leakage in the event of a spill.

A large front pocket provides plenty of space for those items you don’t want to keep in the cooler – or that you need quick access to. The shoulder straps are both padded and adjustable to maximize user comfort, as are the sections at the back and to the waist.

With a 28-can capacity, this pack can carry lots of soda and snacks for everyone. It’s the ideal choice for a family, as one parent can take the food while the other carries extra clothing and other essentials.

  • Top outdoor brand
  • 28 can, leakproof cooler
  • Cushioned waist, back and straps

9. North Face Vault Backpack

  • ORGANIZED DESIGN. A front compartment simplifies organization with secure-zip pockets, a tablet sleeve and a key fob. On the outside, it has two water bottle pockets and a daisy chain for added lash points.

It would barely be a list of backpacks without a North Face product in there somewhere, and our pick of the bunch is the very versatile Vault. With 27 color or pattern options to choose from, there’s certainly something for everyone here.

This product is endorsed by the American Chiropractic Association, so you know it won’t put any unnecessary strain on your spine, joints or muscles.

There is a fully breathable and supportive lumbar panel built into the padded, mesh-covered back, flexible shoulder straps and twin grab handles. As it can stand up on its own, it can even save on bending down.

Compartment wise it has a large front pocket, plus water bottle and tablet sleeves and zipped sections. There is also a daisy chain attachment and key fob. This North Face backpack also has a generous 26-liter capacity.

For all of the above reasons, we have named it our best backpack for Disney.

  • Zippered exterior pouch; Side slip pockets; Zippered main closure
  • Laptop sleeve with elastic top; Striped fabric lining; Adjustable shoulder straps
  • Decorative pulls; Split ring accessory loops; Top carry handles; Silvertone hardw

Our final offering comes directly from The Disney Store. It’s a stylish, black, leather-look backpack designed for women . Again this is leaning a little more towards fashion than practicality, but it should hold everything the independent, cartoon-loving female could require.

There is perhaps a surprising number of practical features on this bag too. Such as the front zippered pocket and two grab handles that are fastened together by a cute Mickey clasp.

The same metal Mickey studs decorate the ends of the handles too, where they meet the main body of the bag.

Loops for carrying accessories are found on the outside, while inside there’s a laptop sleeve to keep your tech safe. The side sleeves can also be used for storing a water bottle or small umbrella. If you want a handbag/backpack hybrid, this could be the one.

  • Elegant Mickey Mouse bag
  • Laptop and side sleeves
  • Subtle Disney styling
  • More about fashion than function

Choosing the best Disney Parks backpack

Here are some key features to consider when choosing the best backpack for your Disney theme parks vacation.

Size and weight

Will you travel light, or have a lot of stuff to carry? Do you want an ultra-lightweight packable bag, or one that’s more substantial and robust?

Pick the right one and it may be used for many other trips too.

Think about how long you’ll spend at the park each day, and if you travel as a family, who will carry what. Which items do you really need to take? Will your chosen product have enough space for all of them?

While all the best daypacks for Disney will have a main compartment, what sort of others would be helpful?

Do you require one or more water bottle pockets, for example? A cooler compartment, tablet sleeve, or exterior pocket so you can grab essentials quickly?

Having a number of compartments, such as for credit cards, can help you stay more organized, so you can access just what you need without delay.

The type of shoulder straps may not seem important, but on a bigger or heavier pack, in particular, adjustable shoulder straps can mean your pack fits perfectly, making it appear lighter than it really is.

Padded shoulder straps can also increase comfort, without adding to the weight too much. Some packs also have cushioned back panels.

This will be a priority for some, and not so important for others.

It’s your bag, so if you’ll get much more pleasure from using it because you like the design, then why not?

Clearly, Disney-themed items, like a Mickey Mouse kids’ backpack, have added appeal when you’re seeking the best backpacks for Disneyland, so we’ve included a few of those.

Water resistance

A water-resistant pack can be helpful in any case, as water bottles can often leak.

If you’re going to Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach or enjoying some of Disney’s water rides, then some sort of waterproofed or quick-drying pack can certainly be a great choice.

During wet weather – which is more likely to occur at Disneyland Paris than Disney World in Orlando – this can also be a useful feature.

Best Disney backpacks – Frequently Asked Questions

Of course. What better way to carry all your essentials around the park? Any visit to Disney generally means long days with early starts, and as the parks are large there’s a lot of walking involved. Taking a great backpack can really help lighten the load – especially if you split carrying duties between your party. In addition, you definitely want to bring food to Disney and a backpack is a great place to carry it.

You’ll see all sorts of backpacks at Disney World. Which type is best for you depends on how many of you there are and what you want to carry around with you. If you’re traveling solo or will each carry your own bag, then a mini backpack might be big enough. When carrying snacks, drinks and extra layers for the whole family, you’ll need something larger and with more water bottle holders. Although it must fit within the size regulations outlined below. All the packs listed here are well within Disney’s current guidelines.

Man with a backpack at Disney World - all the water bottle holders like this one makes it one of the best backpacks for Disney.

Disney lays out their own rules when it comes to the bags you can bring. Any pack bigger than 24″ in length x 15″ in width x 18″ in height is not permitted. This is equivalent to 61 cm x 38 cm x 46 cm in metric measurements – a pretty generous size for a daypack. Disney also forbids the carrying of dry or loose ice, though reusable ice packs may be brought. This was correct at the time of writing, but do check the latest regulations before you travel. You can do that directly with Disney’s official site here .

Yes, backpacks are allowed on Disney rides. Disney parks do not offer any type of cubby bag storage at each individual ride like some parks do, however, there is locker storage if you would like something for the day. Sometimes you are cramming the backpack in the seat with you (I’m looking at you, Space Mountain), but we haven’t had any issues.

We hope this guide to buying the best backpack for Disney has been helpful.

Dear Wirecutter: What’s the Best Backpack for a Family Trip to Disney World?

Published July 20, 2017

Q: I’m taking my family to Disney World for a couple of days and I need something sturdy to carry all of our stuff. In the past, we had strollers that we could use because the children were young (now my kids are six and eight), but even then I had to carry a backpack as well.

As the family’s official pack mule, I’m wondering if you have a recommendation for a “medium duty” bag. I did see your review of the best travel backpack , but I think it’s too large to schlep around a theme park.

L.L.Bean Quad Pack

Organized, comfortable, and versatile.

Great breathability and a large variety of pockets make it great for schlepping the essentials.

Buying Options

A: It’s helpful that your kids are old enough to walk around on their own two feet. Infants have unique needs. As Wirecutter AV expert Chris Heinonen put it, “If this also needs to be a diaper bag, it’s gonna be huge.” And that may be an issue: Disney parks have strict restrictions on the size of backpacks that can be brought in, and the same for strollers and other items.

Chats with Heinonen and fellow Wirecutter editors/parents Dan Frakes and Kalee Thompson revealed some common essential features for a family backpack: External bottle pockets are a must, as is a main compartment or large external pocket that unzips along its entire perimeter, and a way to safely carry an iPad or the like to keep kids occupied while waiting in line. Being able to dole out a quick sip of water or juice is vital—amusement parks can be hot, dry, and fatiguing. Also important is easy access to things like sunscreen, a favorite toy or blanket, some cleanup wipes, and a box or baggie of snacks—so a perimeter-zipped, as opposed to a top-loading or slash, pocket is the way to go. Lastly, a dedicated slot for a tablet or laptop is very handy, especially if you can access it from the outside (instead of having to open the main compartment).

The L.L.Bean Quad Pack , our pick for college and high school students , ticks all the boxes: Twin external bottle pockets, a pair of laptop/tablet pockets (one of them externally accessible), and a big external pocket that fully unzips and can hold plenty of snacks, sunscreen, sundries, and a change of clothes. At 33 liters, it’s big enough for a large family—but still meets Disney’s size limits—and its lumbar pad is well-ventilated, increasing mom or dad’s comfort. And that externally accessed tablet/laptop pocket is also great for other large, thin items, like coloring books.

15 Best Purses for Disney World You Will Adore

Here are our picks for the best purses for Disney World!

If you’re heading to Orlando soon, and want to make sure you have the best purse for Disney World that’s both practical, versatile, and cute, then please enjoy this list of our favorite purses and crossbody bags we think you’ll absolutely love.

Finding the Best Purses for Disney World

How about we begin with a Dooney & Burke bag?

#1: DOONEY & BOURKE – Disney Sketch Crossbody Bag

best travel purse for disney

Style: Small Crossbody

Comfort: This bag has thin, adjustable straps. Though thin, the straps are sturdy and comfortable.

Storage: The small pouch is perfect for essentials (wallet, cell phone, keys, lotions, chapstick and a few granola bars). It is a smaller bag, so if you’ll be carrying additional layers, food, drinks, camera equipment , etc. then it’s probably too small. There is a small zippered pouch on the front for anything you need to keep secure.

Quality: This is an excellent quality bag. You get what you pay for. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my mom 5 years back, and it’s endured countless Disney trips, a Disney cruise, and a tour through Europe. This bag is solid.

Why I Love It: There is a reason Dooney & Bourke is my #1 go to in regards to Disney purses. This is a fantastic brand, and puts the customer first. I own 3 different Dooney bags that have gotten heavy use in the parks, and Dooney has gone out of their way to replace the leather, fix the straps, and quickly address any repairs needed to my bags. My Haunted Mansion Dooney & Bourke is almost 10 years old, and still in mint condition. An added bonus is it’s compact size makes it easy to take on rides, store at your feet or fit under the seat.  So if you’re looking for one of the best crossbody bags for Disney World, look no further than this gem from Dooney & Burke.

#2: DOONEY & BOURKE – Tote Bag

best travel purse for disney

Style: Large Tote

Comfort: This is a sturdy tote with thin straps. It’s easy to carry over your shoulder.

Storage: The large pouch holds just about everything. I’ve used mine to carry my laptop, wallet, water bottle, snacks, daily essentials and a thin sweater. 

Quality: This is another quality bag from Dooney & Bourke, and worth every penny. As mentioned, Dooney & Bourke does a great job of making it easy to repair your bag. My Dooney’s have been rained on, and are still in great condition. 

Why I Love It: This bag is so easy to travel with. It has a deceiving amount of storage, and when it gets too heavy, is easy to strap onto the top of a rolling suitcase, and fits comfortably in the basket of most strollers . The only downside is it’s easy to pack this bag too heavy, and can be a little cumbersome in the parks. It does fit under most seats on rides, BUT if you’re on a coaster, it’s best to leave it behind with a member of your party so the contents don’t fall out. 

#3: LOUNGEFLY – Minnie Mouse Dress Mini Backpack

best travel purse for disney

Style: Mini Backpack

Comfort: These small backpacks are a comfortable fit with adjustable straps. 

Storage: The large pocket comfortably holds all of your essentials for the day, and the small zippered pocket on the front holds anything you need to keep secure or easily accessible. Remember these are “mini” backpacks, not full sized backpacks. 

Quality: These bags have the same cute style as the Dooney & Bourkes, at a more affordable price. I have a collection of mini Loungefly backpacks, and while over the years I’ve started to notice a little wear and tear, they’re extremely durable for the cost. 

Why I Love It: These bags are compact, comfortable, there are literally hundreds to choose from (keep an eye out for special editions and holiday bags). They’re easy to store under seats, and at your feet on roller coasters. 

#4: LOUNGEFLY – Mickey Minnie Balloon Cross Body Bag

best travel purse for disney

Style: Medium Crossbody Tote

Comfort: This is a medium sized tote in style, with crossbody adjustable straps for comfort.

Storage: This bag has decent storage to pack everything you’ll need for a day in the parks. It’s not quite as big as a full sized tote, but larger than most cross body bags. 

Quality: This is a solid bag with durable straps, and a great quality for a low price.

Why I Love It: I’m a huge fan of crossbody bags , especially in the parks. I love having my hands free, while still being able to store everything I need for the day. This bag also comes equipped with thick straps if you’d prefer to carry it over your shoulder. 

#5: BIOWORLD – Mickey Mini Backpack Purse

best travel purse for disney

Style: Small Backpack

Comfort: This is a lightweight comfortable bag with adjustable straps. 

Storage: It has a large pocket suitable for all your essentials. This is a small backpack, similar in size to the Loungeflys and Dooney & Bourkes. 

Quality: It’s not a major brand name, but doesn’t suffer in quality, especially for the price. The straps are a little thinner than I’d like, but it’s still a solid bag. 

Why I Love It: I adore the detail in this bag, and the unique style. It’s not a traditional mini backpack, and the gold Mickey tassel is so cute. I also love the hidden details of Mickey’s white gloves on the sides. It’s also the perfect size to bring on rides, it’s very easy to store and is a great hands free option. 

#6: DAKINE – Jordy Crossbody

best travel purse for disney

Style: Medium Crossbody

Comfort: These bags are soft with durable straps. 

Storage: These offer a decent amount of storage, easy to store all of your essentials and a few snacks. 

Quality: These are great little bags for the price, and I’ve had no issues in regards to quality. I do recommend avoiding getting them excessively wet though. 

Why I Love It: These are great in regards to practicality, and not as flashy as the Disney themed bags. If you’re looking for something functional and neutral, this is a great option at an affordable price. 

#7: NEATPACK – Crossbody Bag

best travel purse for disney

Comfort: This bag is soft and comfortable with an adjustable strap. It lays comfortably at your side (this is a huge selling point for me as a regular cross body bag wearer). 

Storage: This bag has ample storage, with a large main pouch, and two smaller zippered pouches. There’s also a designated pouch for your water bottle. You should have no problem storing everything you need for the day in this bag, just be careful not to weigh it down too much or it’ll get tiresome to carry through the park. 

Quality: This is a great quality bag at a reasonable price. 

Why I Love It: These bags are neutral in color and style, come in a variety of different colors, and are one of the more functional bags on this list. If storage is a priority, this is an excellent option. They’re a little larger than a traditional cross body bag, but still easy to bring on rides. I love that the top zips shut to keep your belongings secure. 

#8: PETUNIA PICKLE BOTTOM – Criss Cross Sling Bag

best travel purse for disney

Comfort: If you’re a fan of cross body bags (I’m a huge fan), this is a very comfortable brand. The strap is interchangeable if you’re looking for something sturdier. 

Storage: These have similar storage space to the small backpacks, with adequate storage for all of your essentials. 

Quality: For the price, these are great bags. Are they the same quality as the brand names? No, but you get what you pay for. Be mindful to tuck them away in inclement weather. 

Why I Love It: I love the variety of designs, and this bag is the best of both worlds combining the storage space of a small backpack with the convenience of a crossbody. These are easy to tuck away on rides or pack into a stroller. 

#9: TRAVELON – Anti-Theft Crossbody Bag

best travel purse for disney

Comfort: This is a sturdy, comfortable bag. 

Storage: This is a smaller bag, perfect for essentials. It’s not ideal for carrying excessive snacks, drinks or layers. It has a large pouch and a separate pouch for a water bottle (I have a slim aluminum water bottle that fits perfectly).

Quality: This is a great quality bag.

Why I Love It: This is a no frills bag if you’re looking for something comfortable, secure, and practical. It comes in several different neutral colors, and all pouches zip to keep your belongings secure. Not only is it great for Disney parks, I’ve also brought this bag camping and hiking – its durability makes it worth the cost for me. 

#10: BAGGALLINI – Everywhere Bag

best travel purse for disney

Style: Small Shoulder Bag

Comfort: This bag is soft with a thick shoulder strap which makes it easier to carry throughout the day. You can also adjust the strap if you prefer a crossbody fit. 

Storage: There is a large main pouch, and three smaller pouches on the front. I’ve had no trouble storing everything I need for the day in this bag. 

Price: About $60

Quality: This is one of the higher quality bags at this price point. 

Why I Love It: There are 2 things I love about this bag. First, this is my go-to travel bag. If your trip to Disney World includes an airport visit, there is a suitcase strap on the back of this bag, making it easy for you to attach to your luggage handle – brilliant. This bag is also one of the only ones I’ve seen equipped with RFID blocking.  

#11: BAGGALLINI – Crossbody Handbag

best travel purse for disney

Comfort: This is a comfortable fit, so long as you don’t pack it too heavy. The strap is on the thinner side. 

Storage: This is perfect for your immediate needs – phone, keys, sunscreen, chapstick, a snack. It’s not ideal for carrying much more than that. 

Quality: This is another great quality Baggalini bag.

Why I Love It: I love this bag for quick trips into the park, or if I know a member of my party is carrying a larger backpack or I’ll be storing things on a stroller.  It’s compact, sturdy, easy to bring on rides, and comfortably fits everything I need. 

#12: SEINPURE – Nylon Crossbody Bag

best travel purse for disney

Comfort: This is comfortable and compact with an adjustable strap. 

Storage: This is another compact bag. It doesn’t hold much more than your essentials, but it’s extremely easy to carry around the park, onto rides, etc. 

Quality: This is a great budget option. It’s not the best quality bag, but you’ll get a few good uses out of it. 

Why I Love It: I carried this little bag around the parks for years. It was my go-to when I was meeting friends for an afternoon or knew I didn’t need anything more than a place to put my keys and my phone. It’s neutral and simple and a decent option if you’re more budget conscious. 

#13: KAVU – Sling Bag

best travel purse for disney

Style: Medium Sling Bag

Comfort: This is a sling style bag with a thin, rope-like strap. Be careful loading your bag too heavy, and you’ll be just fine.

Storage: The backpack space itself provides ample storage for a day in the parks. 

Quality: This is a great quality bag for the price. Be careful of excessively loading the bag down though, especially if you’re planning on wearing it all day. The strap is on the thinner side. 

Why I Love It: It’s an excellent hands free option, and can even be worn across my back like a backpack. This is a go-to when I’m with my nephews and want to be able to carry my things but not be constantly messing with my bag. There is also a great variety design wise. 

#14: INICAT – Small Crossbody

best travel purse for disney

Style: Small Crossbody Sling

Comfort: This is a lightweight, comfortable bag with a thin strap. 

Storage: Storage is a bit on the small side. It has one large pocket to hold your belongings. 

Quality: This is a great quality bag at a lower cost.

Why I Love It: This bag comes in SO many colors and designs, that it’s perfect if you’re looking for something to compliment your outfits. It’s handsfree, lightweight, and easy to bring onto rides. 

#15: WINGHOUSE – Minnie Mouse Fanny Pack

Style: Fanny Pack

Comfort: This has a comfortable, adjustable fit. 

Storage: This is an average sized fanny pack, with a large zippered pouch for everything you’d need to quickly access. 

Quality: This is in my opinion one of the better quality fanny packs, and does well with the Florida weather. 

Why I Love It: I love a good fanny pack , but I’m picky about designs. I love this option because it’s got a cute, Minnie Mouse design, but it’s a little more stylish and classy. The strap is also adjustable for different body sizes. 

At the end of the day, choosing the perfect purse (or let’s be honest – purses) for your Disney vacation depends on what your main priorities are. Fortunately when it comes to choosing the best purses for Disney World, we have so many options to choose from! Now that you have some fun ideas and a few tried and true brands, it’s time to start narrowing it down to your favorite styles!

Also, if you’re curious about Disney Parks’ policy on bags , you’re not allowed to being a bag, backpack or cooler into the parks that’s bigger than 24 inches long, 15 inches wide and 18 inches high.

How To Choose The Right Bag For Disney World?

Here are a few tips to consider before choosing the right bag for Disney trips.

  • Type: You can choose a sling bag, a backpack, or a small mini bag, depending on your needs. Sling bags will accommodate more things, but they may become heavy and dig into your shoulders, while small bags may be convenient, but they may not fit all the stuff.
  • Size: Consider your needs as to what you will be carrying during the day. If you have a small baby, then a backpack will be more convenient.
  • Compartments: Look for a bag with multiple compartments as it helps to keep your things organized and in place.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I carry food and drinks into Disney?

Baggallini Everywhere Bagg

TripSavvy / Danielle Directo-Meston

Stylish silhouette

Roomy yet organized

Plenty of storage pockets

Comfortable shoulder strap

Water-resistant

Can only hold an average-sized disposable water bottle

No interior dividers

A little pricey

If you prefer to carry all your essentials but don’t want to be bogged down by a massive carryall, the Baggallini Everywhere Bagg easily doubles as an all-day purse and companion for your international travels.

  • Portability
  • Competition
  • Final Verdict

We purchased the Baggallini Everywhere Bagg so our reviewer could put it to the test. Keep reading for our full product review.

Baggallini was founded by two flight attendants who wanted practical, organized, and travel-friendly bag options that are as fashionable as they are functional—so it’s no wonder that the brand has become a go-to among travelers with an eye for style. We tested the company’s Everywhere Bagg in a variety of settings (from everyday errands to a day at the zoo and even at a dust-filled Renaissance fair) to see it lived up to its promise. 

Design: Plenty of storage

The Everywhere Bagg is a medium-sized carryall that’s functional without feeling clunky, all thanks to its many interior and exterior pockets. Outside, there’s a large zipper pocket and two smaller pockets on the front—one zips closed and the other has a magnetic flap closure. We found these pockets handy for stashing snacks, receipts, and other smaller items that tend to get lost in the abyss of main compartments.

There’s plenty of organized storage, with eight credit card slots, a zipper pocket, a key leash, two pen loops, and a removable radio frequency identification-blocking (RFID) wristlet.

There is also a compartment on each of the two sides. One of these compartments is open, while the other is a zip-up compartment with an expandable inner pocket. We noted that this pocket can hold a standard-sized disposable plastic water bottle but couldn’t accommodate anything larger than that. There’s also a back pocket that unzips at the bottom and converts into a sleeve that can be slipped over a luggage handle—a feature that frequent globetrotters will find especially handy.

The main zipper closes securely across the entire bag, ensuring no stray hands can get inside. Inside the main compartment, there’s plenty of organized storage, with eight credit card slots, a zipper pocket, a key leash, two pen loops, and a removable radio frequency identification-blocking (RFID) wristlet. There’s also lots of space for sunglasses cases, an average-sized travel book, medication bottles, and other common items.

From the zipper pulls to the magnetic closures, we thought that all of the hardware felt substantial. The bag is also fairly sturdy and can stand up on its own, as long as the items inside are evenly-placed. The one design element we felt the bag was missing, despite its spaciousness, was an inner divider to keep belongings more organized, though this is more of a personal preference.

The material is also easy to spot-clean, as we discovered after splashing fruit juice on the outside.

The bag’s water-resistant nylon interior and exterior fabric mean there’s no need to worry about rain. The material is also easy to spot-clean, as we discovered after splashing fruit juice on the outside.

Style: Streamlined as can be

The bag has a sleek look, thanks to its somewhat structured silhouette plus the fact that its zippers and exterior fabric are all the same color. The inner lining, however, adds a fun pop of color—we tested the Portabello colorway, which had a vibrant purple fabric inside.

Because the bag weighs just 1 pound, it’s lightweight and versatile enough for everyday use.

While its design won’t rival a luxury designer handbag, that also means you’ll stay low-key in travel situations where you want to keep your belongings safe by blending in with the crowd.

Comfort: Wearable all day

The adjustable nylon strap feels similar to the material of a seatbelt. It’s durable, comfortable, and pretty strong. And, because the bag weighs just 1 pound, it’s lightweight and versatile enough for everyday use, no matter if you’re commuting to the office or flying across the world.

Portability: Surprisingly versatile

At 11 inches wide, 9 inches tall, and 5 inches wide, we found that this practical purse was the perfect size as an on-the-shoulder carryall or a cross-body bag. Surprisingly, it can also double as a stroller bag: With a strap that can adjust to as long as 52 inches, parents will be happy to know that it’s possible to hang it across a stroller handle safely and easily.

Price: A small investment for peace of mind

With an MSRP of $100, the Baggallini Everywhere Bagg was pricier than other similar bags we tested . However, we think that the price is reasonable for a high-quality, well-designed bag with storage and safety features.

Competition: The best value available

There are certainly more cost-effective options out on the market, such as the slightly smaller Satchelli Crossbody Bag (MSRP $40) that offers the same amount of exterior pockets but not as many interior features; it also doesn’t have the same polished look as the Baggallini. Even more affordable is the Suvelle Lightweight Hobo Bag , which retails for less than $30 but has no exterior storage pockets and fewer interior organizational compartments.

On the pricier side, high-end travel brand Tumi’s Voyageur collection of stylish nylon bags include the Troy Crossbody (MSRP $245), which offers luxe touches including leather corners, metal feet, and monogramming, among others.

Peace of mind is key when you’re traveling, and the Baggallini Everywhere Bagg offers just that. With more than 18 separate compartments, including a removable RFID-blocking pouch, this multi-functional purse transitions well from everyday use to zig-zagging across the globe (and everywhere in between).

The 15 Best Travel Purses to Carry You in Style

From durable leather crossbodies to versatile canvas totes, your “just right” bag for journeys near and far does exist.

Have you ever felt like Goldilocks while purse shopping? This one is too big. This one is too small. This one would be just right if it had a slip pocket for my phone or a zipper across the top to keep everything contained.

Finding the perfect everyday bag can take time with so many factors to consider: type, size, material, color, and features. But picking a travel purse can be even more challenging. (Those vacationing at select Four Seasons properties can forgo the stress of buying and borrow a designer bag for free.) The list of must-haves grows to include secure, comfortable, versatile, and durable. The material you choose could impact all those considerations.

Slash-resistant fabric can allay fears of losing your belongings to a thief. Leather can be heavy on its own. However, it remains a popular pick as one of the hardiest materials that easily transitions from casual and carefree to formal and professional. Vegan leather is typically lighter, not to mention more sustainable and less cruel. Featherlight raffia, wicker, or straw evokes both cool girl style (think Jane Birkin ) and warm weather vibes. Mesh, while great for a beach getaway, might not be practical in all situations. Rugged waxed canvas develops a beautiful patina over time. Nylon can be folded up and packed for that inevitable shopping spree; you might even be able to toss it in the washing machine when you get home for a quick cleanup.

Hands-free crossbody bags and carryall totes are obvious choices for your adventures, but they are far from the only options. Read on to discover our recommendations for the best travel purses to take you everywhere you want to go.

Longchamp Le Pliage Medium Nylon Shoulder Tote

Le Pliage Medium Nylon Shoulder Tote

French luxury brand Longchamp had the Japanese art of origami in mind when creating its cult classic Le Pliage bags, available in a multitude of shapes, sizes, and seasonal colors. Loved by editor in chief Steele Marcoux, this foldable tote is fashioned from nylon and trimmed in Russian leather. It was practically made for crisscrossing the globe, but it works for your daily commute too.

Travelon Anti-Theft Classic Messenger

Anti-Theft Classic Messenger

This best-selling messenger bag pairs security with convenience. Body panels are lined with patented slash-resistant mesh. The strap contains stainless steel wire to prevent cut-and-run theft and a clip to secure the bag to a stationary object or chair. There’s no need to worry about your identity being stolen electronically with an RFID-blocking organizer in the rear panel for credit cards and passports. And locking zippered pulls guard against pickpockets. Expandable mesh pockets on each side keep a bottle of water, a small umbrella, or sunglasses close at hand, while you can stash your phone in the front zippered pocket hidden by a magnetic flap.

Saint Laurent Lou Camera Bag

Lou Camera Bag

Leather has a reputation for starting out stiff. Not the quilted calfskin of this camera bag. Reviewers describe it as “buttery soft.” The structured silhouette is roomy enough to fit all the necessities without losing its iconic shape, and the addition of a back slip pocket has been deemed a “game changer.” Go for the Deep Marine as a slightly unexpected neutral.

Stella McCartney Logo Crossbody Bag

Logo Crossbody Bag

Wear the subtle logo on this bag proudly. As all of Stella McCartney's accessories, the bucket-style crossbody is made from nonleather materials, in keeping with the brand's cruelty-free ethos. The body is crafted from its signature smooth Alter Mat and lined in supple, eco-friendly Alter Suede. The strap is made from 100 percent postconsumer recycled polyester.

Vera Bradley Triple Zip Hipster Crossbody Bag

Triple Zip Hipster Crossbody Bag

Performance twill makes this crossbody easy to wipe clean. The sleek fabric features two-inch quilting as a nod to the brand’s heritage and repels water. Monogram your bag for a personal touch.

Lo & Sons Waverley 2

Waverley 2

Need a travel purse that can multitask? This convertible bag is a crossbody, belt bag, wristlet, and shoulder bag all in one. You could even remove the two-part adjustable strap and use it as a clutch. Choose from a variety of colors and hardware finishes in three premium materials: textured Saffiano leather, smooth Nappa leather, or plant-based cactus leather.

Leatherology Kress Mini Top Handle Bag

Kress Mini Top Handle Bag

For traveling, our deputy digital editor, Jaime Milan, reaches for this mini top handle bag. She appreciates that you can wear it as a crossbody during the day and carry it by the handles at night.

Dagne Dover Micah Neoprene Crossbody

Micah Neoprene Crossbody

Made from the same material as wet suits, this lightweight neoprene bag is a sporty and low-key travel companion that will keep you organized. The thoughtful design incorporates an interior mesh slip pocket in the main compartment, an exterior zippered pocket with two elastic loops and a card slot, and a phone slip pocket with magnetic closure on the back. You might even have a little space to spare.

Béis The Phat Sack

The Phat Sack

Carry everything you could ever possibly need in this nylon mesh sack. A zippered pocket on the front and another inside, along with two slip pockets, corral smaller items. The 13-inch padded laptop sleeve and trolley pass-through mean you don’t have to reserve this bag for beach trips or boat outings. And the crossbody strap helps distribute the weight once you load it up.

Staud Perry Bag

Perry Bag

This slouchy raffia hobo isn’t your typical straw bag. It is fully lined, boasts pockets for organization, and possesses an elevated style, thanks to its classic stripe pattern and wrapped leather handle. The plush suede lining not only protects items like your sunglasses and phone but also extends the life of your bag, ensuring sharp objects like keys don’t come in contact with the potentially delicate outer material.

Brunello Cucinelli Cotton and Linen Canvas Shopper Bag with Monili

Cotton and Linen Canvas Shopper Bag with Monili

Add a sophisticated touch to any ensemble during your summer vacation and all season long with this shape-shifting shopper bag. Fasten the two internal ties to make the bag more compact and more difficult for pickpockets to reach into. The fabric is softened by 63 percent cotton and strengthened with 37 percent linen.

Tory Burch Lee Radziwill Double Bag

Lee Radziwill Double Bag

When mixing business with pleasure, you can’t go wrong with a timeless travel purse inspired by a style icon. The Lee Radziwill collection includes handbags in various sizes, silhouettes, and textiles. We're partial to this large, two-tone, leather-and-suede satchel composed of layers that unfold like the collar of a trench coat to reveal four open compartments, one center zippered section, one side wall zippered pocket, and one side wall slit pocket.

Mission Mercantile Leather Goods Heritage Waxed Canvas Commuter Tote

Heritage Waxed Canvas Commuter Tote

Sara Clark, VERANDA’s associate style & market editor, has been eyeing this “superfunctional” waxed canvas tote. She notes its versatility: Park it on top of a carry-on at the airport, or attach the shoulder strap and haul it to the local farmers’ market. Bonus: It can hold a 15-inch laptop.

Tumi Liv Backpack/Tote

Liv Backpack/Tote

A favorite among frequent fliers, Tumi offers a convertible leather backpack with a place for everything. Inside, you'll find a padded laptop compartment, three media pockets, a pen pocket, a zippered pocket, a collapsible water bottle pocket, and a key leash. If you want quick access to your phone, passport, wallet, or cash but are nervous about sticking it in one of the two exterior zippered pockets on the front, then turn to the hidden magnetic slip pocket on the back of the bag.

There's no disputing that fanny packs are a useful accessory. They free up your hands while keeping everything at your fingertips. Plus, you don't have to suffer the excess heat on your back that often plagues backpack users, nor will you have to switch the strap to avoid shoulder pain (looking at you, tote bags).

Thankfully, fanny packs of the 21st century have gotten a makeover since their popularity in the 1980s and 1990s. Yes, you can still find packs adorned with wild shapes, in Outrun color schemes or made with iridescent material, but many of them are more fashion-forward. They come in neutral tones, classic designs and have unique features to keep you organized.

In the market for a fanny pack? Based on consumer reviews and travel expert insights, these are the best fanny packs for travelers. Whether you're vacationing solo , heading out on a hike or taking the kids to Walt Disney World , there's something on this list for you.

The bag features front and rear zippered pockets and the interior has a key clip plus a small light. The strap can accommodate waists up to 46 inches.

Travelers appreciate: The security features, plus the bag's classic style, appeal to reviewers. Some travelers say the bag was too small for their needs, while others say it was just the right size for essentials (like a passport, credit cards and a phone). Keep in mind: To take full advantage of the security features, you'll have to relock the bag each time you get something out.

What sets this pack apart: This hybrid bag combines everything travelers love about fanny packs with the necessities of a diaper bag. The pack has a main zippered compartment – complete with key hook – as well as a front zippered pocket with slots for cash and credit cards. At the back, there's a waterproof compartment perfect for wet wipes or soiled baby clothes. The second back compartment contains a removable changing pad. You can get a belt extender (for free!) to extend the length of the belt to 66 inches; the attached belt has a maximum of 48 inches. Bags come in either vegan leather or canvas. Color options include blush, jade and black.

Travelers appreciate: While some parents note the bag is a little small to carry all the essentials (spare diapers, a bottle, snacks, etc.), most parents love its convenience. They also appreciate that it's easily wiped clean.

What sets this pack apart: From snacks to fidget spinners, children have their own necessities during a trip. Everest's kid-sized waist pack could fit the bill. The pack itself measures approximately 8.3 x 2.8 x 3.5 inches and weighs just over 3 ounces when empty. The pack has two front-access zippered compartments. There are several kid-friendly color options, such as coral, purple, hot pink and turquoise.

Travelers appreciate: Travelers say the pack is perfect for small children, noting it fits their kids well and gives them space to keep small objects (such as rocks and seashells) safe as they explore. Nevertheless, parents do warn the buckle can be finicky and that the excess strap is long after adjusting.

What sets this pack apart: Each multicolor Cotopaxi fanny pack is one-of-a-kind. Possible color options include everything from bright green or orange to neon yellow or soft gray. Purchasers have the option to select their own bag or can save a few dollars by receiving a mystery bag (and have no control over the colors). What's more, its materials are sustainably sourced: Packs are made from surplus nylon fabric that otherwise would've ended up in a landfill. The single zip compartment has two internal mesh pockets to help keep belongings organized.

Travelers appreciate: "Besides being fun to look at and wear, this durable fanny pack really packs a punch when it comes to outdoor activities," says Leilani Osmundson , digital producer for travel at U.S. News. "In addition to my phone, wallet and keys, I'm able to fit other hiking must-haves like snacks, first aid supplies and even a small water bottle. Plus, with two mesh pockets inside, it's easy to keep things organized."
