Of course! Who would do it any other way! Lol 😉🤣

First time Disney trip with the kids... I know this is a silly question but where do you store a backpack when riding the rides? Just curious

That’s a great question! You can actually bring your bag into pretty much any ride! Most of them will have a pouch right in front of your seat or you can put them on the floor between your legs.

🤣🤣🤣

That’s a great tip about the souvenirs! We definitely like the “less is more” approach when it comes to what we take to the parks!

Agreed on souvenirs at the end of the day! As long as it's not a hard-to-get item!

Haha I totally get that! It would be amazing to be able to go bagless! Definitely too many things to be able to fit into pockets.... 🤣

Just curious... where do you store your backpack when riding the rides

@@Thatgirl009 we put them at our feet while riding the rides. Except for in Soarin’, they have a large pouch under your seat that most backpacks fit it

They tend to do that. 😂 Mark Alan was the same way at first!

@@kaylaandmarkalan Maybe one day we will grow out of it...the more we VLOG the more we need room for gear so it could force my hand, ha!

That’s exactly what happened for us! 😂 As we updated our gear, our bag got bigger and bigger!

The fanny packs are actually bigger now more so than the ones from back then. They felt like carrying little tiny coin purses but those were fanny packs back then. Now,,, they actually look more like little backpacks but for the front. Well, their was some that had water bottle holders i do believe back then. The fanny pack is actually making its way back and it is great because it is actually nice to carry a front pouch. Some people think that it makes you look super fat or it looks like you are having a baby hahaha but that is not true. You got to get use to it and once you carry a pouch you will like it. Course the backpack had its wind of jokes as well because people sometimes would feel like it was the hunts back of notrademe. Hahahahahahaha but for me i love carrying both. If i carry a backpack i have to have a pouch with it. It is nice to have that separate pouch. I like to think of the fanny pack as a junk drawer for all your traveling essentials. If I have my backpack that i carry around for just hanging out for the day I have a front pouch with it. I can charge my phone up in my backpack but the fanny pack does not have a charger in it. A lot of the modern day backpacks do have a U.S.B port so you can charge your phone. I like the fact that i can distribute the weight and it is balanced. The front pouch is good because you can easily access all of the things that you have trouble accessing as if you were to take your backpack off and search for it. You keep things that you need for the day the things you need to most up front in a pouch and the backpack holds the things that can wait to bee used. Once you have a fanny pack on you it takes some time getting use to but you will fall in love with it. You may feel a bit like a kangaroo but it is so worth it.

We for sure prefer smaller bags!! It makes the day MUCH more enjoyable. And paying the little bit extra for a park locker is totally worth it to be able to shed those layers!

Space Mountain is tricky with ANY bag! 😂 That’s a great idea though to take an empty bag for merch though!

ALL DAY EVERY DAY!!! 😎

Thank you so much!!! It’s definitely hard to narrow down what to bring. You want to make sure you’re prepared for anything!!! I think that’s what we like about the fanny packs, they kinda force you into not bringing too much. Lol

Great idea, Danny! I like keeping things like wallets and what not nice and secure!

Maybe I can get my kids to be pack-mules with fanny packs since I haven't crossed that bridge yet! haha

I am so with you man!!!! I do have both a backpack and fanny pack when ever i am hanging out. If i am going out for the day I love to take both. It is awesome. Front pouch is great for many things but if you need to charge your phone you got the backpack their. The front pouch is and holds items that you need right away but the items in the backpack can wait till you get to where you need to bee. So glad that people are staring to use fanny packs again. I ordered fanny packs off of amazon. I had one back in the 1990’s and it had a water bottle holder. Then I had a really tiny one that just held basically money. I think that they have gotten bigger now that they made a come back. Yea. It takes some getting use to but it is so worth it. And it gives you less things to put in your pockets. You can free your pockets up with a fanny pack. It is like having extra pockets.

Haha I feel that! That definitely will probably sway you more to team backpack!

Ya gotta do what works best for you!

@@kaylaandmarkalan so true. I mean if their are people out their who are crazy about buying pouches I am one of them. I love the pouch. I mean my backpacks of course have pouches but it is nice to have a separate pouch. I love both backpacks and fanny packs. And I thought girls like pouches hahahahahahaha i am a guy and I love them. I think that some guys like myself well, we carry a lot of things and having things in our pockets looks to dorky. Pockets are very pooched out and when you go to sit it is uneven and that is where the pouch comes in. I think too some people are ashamed to carry a pouch in front because they say it makes them look like a very fat or pregnant. Person that is so not true at all….. you just have to get use to have a pouch on you. I mean the backpack is the same but it is on your back not up front. So to this I say lets wear a fanny pack today and keep using backpacks. It is like sugar and tea or coffee and doughnuts. They compliment each other very well well the backpack and a front pouch compliment very well.

Yes! A Loungefly is definitely on my list to get! I just can’t decide on what design I want to drop the money on... 🙃😂

Haha those are definitely great options too! We just like thicker straps on our bags.😆

@@kaylaandmarkalan Yeah, I get it. We just like our bags to be as lightweight as possible... but after a long day in a park, the drawstring can sometimes start to cut into your shoulder.

The lightweight thing is definitely number one!

Hear, hear! Good call.

Haha I totally feel that! I feel like I always bring at least 3 different bags with me on our trips because it always depends on how I’m feeling that day!

Thank you so much for watching!!

@@kaylaandmarkalan watching another one of your videos as I am replying to you. 😃

@@cecedavis9840 Thanks so much for watching! 😊

Oh snap! Haha we’ve definitely done that before too!

Definitely controversial!

You might look into park lockers! They are usually not too terribly expensive, but are great for storing things like layers so you don’t have to carry so much during the day!

@@kaylaandmarkalan Never thought of this! Thank you!

No problem!! We used the lockers all the time and they are definitely a BIG help!

Currently this option is unavailable, but if/when it does come back, they usually give you a ticket different than your receipt. You will show this to the cast members at guest relations to get your item. Depending on the park, this pickup location may change, so be sure to ask a cast member where pickup would be.

Hahaha I like your thinking!!!

@kaylaandmarkalan I found one awhile ago, but haven't gotten to try yet. Likely will be awful lol

@erinadorabold7498 hopefully it will work well for you! It might be a great one if you plan on getting souvenirs!

You will take your bag with you on the rides! Most of the more intense rides have a small pouch for loose items like hats and sunglasses, but your bag will be at your feet during the ride. (don't worry, your bag won't fall out of the ride!) Tron is a little different as you will have a locker to put your items in for that attraction. Learn more about that here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qpijjM6jlZnDo6M.html

That’s EXACTLY what we do on days we don’t bring our camera! It works really well for us!

Honestly, I would say no to any large backpack. For the most part, as someone who goes to the parks all the time now as locals, we almost always use a fanny pack or a smaller backpack. Large backpacks are HOT and almost always get overfilled and become painful after all day in the parks. Any other great tip if you have something that won’t fit in a smaller bag is to rent a locker at the front of the park! Hope that helps! 💛

@@kaylaandmarkalan thanks I am going to Disney with my family next month

@frankspops5364 That’s awesome! Are you doing the Halloween Party while you’re here?

@@kaylaandmarkalan actually no my family and I are on a tight budget for this trip

Totally understandable! Where are you guys staying?

Everybody’s gotta find that unique thing that works for them! I like it!

Yes! I love how it keeps my hands free but I don’t have to lug around a big bag either.

Woohoo! We always love a great Fanny pack!

Thank you so much! 😊 We’ve definitely become more team backpack as time has gone on. We still love our Fanny packs though too!

I love having both on me. I have a backpack for everything. Even brief cases for work. I have different backpacks so that way I can just grab what ever one I want and go. I don’t have to switch the gear from one and toss it aside. All the backpacks have their certain gear ready to go even my big huge commuter backpacks for work and brief cases. If I have to transfer something it is very minnamal. Fanny packs are great because they hold the stuff you want to get to at the moment. I do carry both and I love them both. Oh and if you see a little kid misbehaving you can snatch them away from their parents in a park and put them in your pack hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!! Just kidding.

Fanny packs are the best!!!

Oh no!! I don’t know that I’ve had that happen, but when I wear my overalls dress it definitely pulls it weird ways! Lol

Honestly it depends on the size of your Fanny pack and the size of your autograph book!

@@kaylaandmarkalan kk

Yes! Agreed! At least for the most part! 😂

Yes! Disney is pretty good at allowing bags on rides! There is usually a pouch in front of your seat or they have you place it on the floor between your legs.

@@kaylaandmarkalan wow thanks for your quick response! I’m not going to Disney but Busch gardens Williamsburg, VA. Their coasters are a bit more intense and don’t want to get a locker so I guess I will take my chances.

@@stpeta17 Gotcha! I’m not super sure about Busch Gardens, but if all else fails, I bet they’ll probably have some lockers. Have an awesome trip!

Usually they do pretty good with letting you keep smaller Fanny packs on rides, but then again, every ride tends to have different rules... good luck!
