Is backpack or fanny pack better for Disneyland?

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.

I'm in love with this colorful Mouse Ear fanny pack. Make sure it's big enough to fit everything you need for the day.
