Best Crossbody Bags for Disneyland

If you plan on going into the parks with a lighter load, maybe consider a crossbody bag instead of a full-on backpack.

What to Pack for Disneyland

Now let’s talk about what your totally awesome new bag should be carrying for your full day in the parks!

Pain Reliever – Even if you’re staying in a Disneyland hotel, I believe it’s always a good idea to bring some pain reliever into the parks with you! When you have a headache and you’re on the verge of losing your grip on that “Disney magic,” you won’t want to make the trip back to your hotel to grab some Alive. Typically, this won’t take up much space in your bag if you get a travel size to bring along!

Hand Sanitizer – Nowadays, no matter what time of year you’re heading to Disneyland, it’s going to be flu season. While Disneyland and California Adventure have plenty of restrooms to wash your hands, and now have hand sanitizing stations around the park, often you’re going to need something quick and easy to keep germs away. Bring a Disney-themed travel-size of hand sanitizer for you and your family to keep the party going your entire vacation. 

Sunscreen – Regardless of the time you are heading to Disneyland bring some sunscreen! You will be outside for the majority of your day and even if you’re not going during Spring or Summer, you can still get sunburnt through the overcast. 

Water Bottle/Collapsible Water Bottle – One of my must-haves when going into the Parks is a reusable water bottle. With the amount of water you will be drinking, bringing a reusable bottle of water will save you quite a bit of money in the parks since water is sold at about $5.00/per bottle. 

Masks (optional) – With crowds getting back to their pre-COVID levels, I like to bring a mask for when I find myself inside with a large group of people. This one is completely optional, but masks take up very little space and could end up keeping you from catching any of the many different cases of the flu that will be lurking. 

Disney Tickets – Start your day right and be sure to bring along your Disney tickets! 

Wallet – Don’t forget your wallet with any debit/credit cards you wish to use on your trip! You are bound to see some great souvenirs and food places that will require payment if you haven’t uploaded them to your “My Disney Experience App.” 

Smartphone – almost all Disneyland goers should bring along a smartphone. If traveling with friends or family, there are times you may be separated so it’s always good to bring your smartphone and make sure you have the phone numbers of all your party. 

Pro Tip: Download the My Disney Experience App to help ensure a smoothly planned day and add Heads-up or the Play Disney Parks App to make waiting in line a fun time with your friends and family! 

Jacket/Coat – If you’re heading to the parks during any season, outside of Summer, you’ll want to bring a jacket or a rain jacket. Don’t get caught by a downpour in your Mickey t-shirt! 

Snacks – Many people don’t realize this, but Disneyland actually allows you to bring food into the parks. If your main goal on your trip is going on as many rides as possible, or you’re just trying to save a pretty penny, bring along your favorite snacks to eat on the go! 

Conclusion 

When picking out the perfect bag for your day-to-day Disney adventures, we understand the task can seem daunting, but we hope you found a few to consider from this list of the 15 best backpacks for Disneyland!
