You Can Bring a Backpack to Disney ParksYou can bring your bag or backpack on almost every single ride at Disney Parks. With the exception of a couple attractions, every ride at Disney will have a small pouch for you to stow your backpack, or space at your feet.
You will also be doing a lot of walking at the parks and it is important to stay hydrated. Non-alcoholic drinks and waters are totally something you can bring into Disney, it's even encouraged!
You're allowed to take any type of bag that is within the Disney Guidelines (remember, it must be smaller than 24 inches long x 15 inches wide x 18 inches high) on any of the rides or attractions in the park.

I like to use a small backpack-style purse or cross-body bag when I visit the Walt Disney World theme parks. Many guests use drawstring-style bags, as well; however, I personally prefer something with separate pockets or compartments. I find it keeps my belongings organized and easy to locate.
Many of the Loungefly backpacks and bags are of a similar shape, but plenty have unique designs to fit the character they are designed after. This is much more expensive for a company to produce as they'll need to create new patterns for each release.
We on the panel love helping guests to plan magical vacations! You can absolutely bring a water bottle with you into the Walt Disney World theme parks, including Magic Kingdom. The water bottle cannot be glass, but others are absolutely fine.
I've worn both. I wear fanny packs/bumbags as sling bags - they will usually have you remove a fanny pack if it's actually around your waist, for a ride (they'll have you remove a backpack as well, or any bag that is between you and a lap bar). It's really not inconvenience though.
Should I bring a small bag to Disney? Walt Disney World does allow guests to bring a bag with them to every attraction in the theme parks. Smaller bags may be easier to carry around the park, but you will need to consider what items you absolutely want with you and whether they will fit in a small bag.
Sling bags are very popular at Disney and other amusement parks because they're comfortable and spacious enough to hold the essentials without being too bulky.
Suitcases, bags, coolers or backpacks, with or without wheels, larger than 24 long x 15 wide x 18 high (61 cm x 38 cm x 46 cm) are not allowed in any theme park or water park. Loose or dry ice is not permitted in these containers. Re-usable ice packs are recommended.
In general, your personal item should be smaller than your carry-on and under the specific airline's carry-on dimensions, allowing it to fit under the seat in front of you. In most cases, backpacks are considered personal items as long as they fit under the seat in front of you.
The Fanny Pack or Belt BagA small belt bag (like this one) is a great middle of the road option if you don't want to be using lockers all day but also need to carry a few more things. Most of the rides in both parks will allow you to wear a small fanny pack around your waist on the rides.
In general the best days of the week to visit the Disney World parks are Tuesday and Wednesday. The reason being is many families find that you need an entire week for a Disney vacation and typically arrive on Saturday or Sunday. We find weekends and Monday to be the busiest days at Walt Disney World.
It might be a good idea to bring a cooler with you, as temperatures can rocket in the summer months. If you don't have a cooler, a waterproof bag with ice packs will also help to keep your food cool.
Guests are welcome to carry a bag or backpack with them into the theme parks. The maximum allowable bag size is 24 by 18 by 15. All Guests and their bags will undergo a security screening process prior to entering the theme parks and Disney Springs.

Every bag is subject to a security screening before you enter the park, and bag policies are the same at Disneyland and Disney World. Because security will make sure the contents of each bag are safe, clear bags are not required at the Disney parks. We'll talk more about size restrictions of bags below!
You are welcome to use cash throughout your vacation. Please note that some kiosks and carts may have an attendant who doesn't accept cash based on their available technology and space limitations of the moveable location.
