Opting for a backpack or sling bag ensures that you can be hands-free during your park day, though it can be tempting to overpack since you have so much space. If your bag gets too heavy or cumbersome, keep in mind most theme parks have lockers you can rent to offload some of that gear (or the merch you picked up).

Bags allowed inside the theme parks cannot be larger than 24 long X 15 wide X 18 high. If you stick within these guidelines you will not have issues bringing your bag to most attractions.
