Re: Theme park with back pack????
We've used backpacks in the past and they seem to be ideal. It keeps your hands free and they fit quite nicely on all the rides.

no... We take a back pack- I am used to carrying it... Plus you can stash it in the stroller while you are walking around the parks...

Re: Theme park with back pack????
We always take a backpack with us. We take turns with it and try not to put too much in it, we stick with what we really need.

Re: Theme park with back pack????
Welcome to MB first of all. Next, I always wear a back pack with all our stuff and the kids. Just remember not to make it too big or it can get very heavy and cumbersome.

We always bring our stroller (we bought our stroller at WDW) and we always attach our bag TO the stroller. There is no possible way I'm carrying a backpack on my back. Especially in the heat. Just bring a bag you can attach to your stroller, even if your children aren't going to use the stroller that much. Think of it as a movable storage device on wheels. Also, the days at WDW are long and the walking is great. A stroller will be much appreciated by your little ones.

Re: Theme park with back pack????
If you have a lot of stuff to carry, I think a backpack is a great solution! I personally hate carrying one if it's sunny out (tan lines - I am so superficial
 ) but they do work great, and I find them to be a lot easier on the back than a shoulderbag. They're easy to slip off and put between your legs on rides too.If you plan on bringing a stroller, definitely utilize that to hold your bag for you...unless I absolutely HAVE to, I am a no-bag person altogether. I stick park tickets, cell phone, money, etc. in my pockets and call it good. But I understand that's not really possible with little ones.

As it is, I'm a locker girl. The price is totally worth it to me to have the stuff I might need right there- I need my sunscreen and I HATE being wet, and I like to ditch my hat after sundown. But I don't want to carry anything, either!

Re: Theme park with back pack????
Question... will you be using a stroller... a backpack fits over the handles so nicely...

My two year old HATES...I repeat HATES anything restrictive, including strollers. We plan to play it by ear. Although I think Miss Independent will need a stroller on some of the longer days.
