Tips for Prepping Your Disney Park Bag

Over pack and you'll get an aching back, under pack and you'll miss that vital item you'll inevitably need. How you prep your park bag can make or break your Disney day. In this video I share with you a few tips I use to make sure I have a comfortable, but successful trip.

Hands down the best Disneyland Paris videos I’ve found. Surprising our girls next Easter and these videos have already given me so much help! Really really great videos and I love your attitude

Have watched this 3 times and it’s SO good. I am packing as we speak and have also added a couple of things to the first aid purse which may be useful to others: 1 sachet of Calpol, 2 rennies and a toothpick!! Thank you Lucie for ALL you videos, not just this one 😀

[@37DisneyStreet]

Aw thanks, jenny! Those are helpful additions x

[@Pam-fx7ci]

I love all of your videos! So helpful and entertaining! Thank you ♥️

[@TheP4ncakes]

Brilliant video Lucie! I love the poncho in a sock idea & have managed to source that cute pass holder too ❤️

[@disneyanddaysout]

Brilliant tips!

[@GLJosh]

On our last Walt Disney World trip I added a hip pouch and some additional pouches on those straps. Made a great way to carry charging cables (phone and MB+), snacks, and trading pins.

Great video Lucie! 🥰

[@dracothekingofdragons5732]

I’m gonna be going in October or November and these vids are really good! Also, you give of such a warm motherly vibe that makes me comfy, keep up the good work 🫰😊

[@elsielaurenn]

really feeling those disney blues, just on the way home from gatwick & i want to head right back there now 😩 great tips lucie!

[@37DisneyStreet]

Q: How do you deal with the Disney Blues? A: Book another Disney trip. Simples 😜

[@elsielaurenn]

@@37DisneyStreet i was walking out of arrivals, looking out the windows and there was a plane with disneyland paris 25th on it (5 years after the fact 😂). a sign don’t you think? 🤔

I've said on the show before, but I always make sure to take a second pair of glasses with me. If you lose those, you're screwed! It can just be an old pair that you leave in your hotel room, but so long as you have something, you're golden. I also usually take an old phone, too. I've had my phone conk out on me THREE TIMES in Disney parks ALONE! Luckily, I managed to eventually revive them each time, but it always leaves me with a feeling of absolute dread when it goes blank on me. I was going to have my own section on the video for this, but I was too busy and I almost got in trouble...

[@37DisneyStreet]

I’ve never taken second glasses, but I do put contacts in the suitcase for the same reason!! - Chris

Best bag for me personally is a bag around the waist (fanny pack). No sore back or shoulders and easy to take care of your stuff. Just be sure to keep valuable stuff as much to other side of where the zip open. So if there are people with bad intention, you’ll know it before they got it. And of course, keep the opening at the front side, when standing in a queue, you don’t know what happens behind you. (My father always uses this kind of bags while hiking at his back, but in amusement parks at the front just for that reason.)

[@TomMRiddle96]

I always take 2 phones with me, just to be sure for battery and games. Also having a very big powerbank (long, but thin & largest capacity for airplanes). Furthermore, wallet, some medicines, sun cream and plenty of little stuff. Bottle is in a side pocket of the bag. I don’t want to take food with me, parks are expensive, but I save enough before planning a trip to also pay for some lunch/snacks. My powerbank is around 27k mAh, that’s around 4.5 times charging my main phone😅

[@KarionTravelling]

Where is your ultra-small vlogging camera from, please? I've been looking for one, and if you've used it and found it works well I would like to invest in one too. I'm currently watching all your back catalogue and I love your energy and enthusiasm.

[@37DisneyStreet]

It's a DJI Pocket 2, Kari! Lucie can tell you more about it but just thought I'd catch it in case she misses this message! Check out some KZbin reviews and see what you think! I know it can be a bit fiddly! Thanks for watching! - H

[@KarionTravelling]

@@37DisneyStreet fab thank you very much. I have the DJI gimbal, my son loves it - but I just can't get it to do what I want 🤷‍♀️

[@37DisneyStreet]

Ah! I haven't had a play myself - I use my phone for my own videos and it's as good as I could wish for! But I know the face following feature on the DJI is a pain if you leave it on! - H

[@hollyb2006]

@ 37 Disney Street Thanks for these great tips! I really appreciate your video. How did the scissors make it through park security at Disney Paris?

[@37DisneyStreet]

Sore subject! Lucie's bag ALWAYS gets searched in Disney World and she didn't know why until towards the end of our last trip... When she told me there were SCISSORS in there, I was flabbergasted! So maybe we won't recommend scissors after all! - Hugh

[@hollyb2006]

@@37DisneyStreet Oops. 😉 Thanks again for your great tips. ✅

[@DisneyBar]

Hi! what a great video! can you link where you got the black bag? it's such a cool idea to change it each day!

[@37DisneyStreet]

Can do better than that… Lucie did a video all about the bag here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5zIqoNrfJ1jbas there’s a link to it on Amazon in the description of that bag! - Chris

[@DisneyBar]

@@37DisneyStreet OMG! This is great! thank you

[@suzannajebbitt2251]

I love that card holder!! Where is it from please?

[@37DisneyStreet]

I believe it was Primark, although it’s a few years old now x

[@anouksondagh902]

I personally make my poncho's as square and flat as possible. Also, mine is more of a coat:)

[@danihawkinspreissler8017]

the scissors would also be allowed on the plane if they are under 10cm

[@alvieplanningco.3269]

Which ponchos do you recommend?

[@37DisneyStreet]

I’ll ask Lucie what she thinks… for me, I’d say get one of those ones that packs into a small bag to save packing space. You can pick up disposable ones online, too - although not as environmentally friendly, you hopefully won’t need to use them!! - Chris

[@miaw8898]

hi lucie! i was just wondering which portable charger you use?

[@37DisneyStreet]

It’s an Anker. I originally got it from Amazon, it holds four or more full iPhone charges, but is quite heavy. X

[@violetv89]

Do you have a link for the amazon backpack?

[@37DisneyStreet]

Hiya! Lucie talks about the bag in another video here: The Great Disneybound Bag Hack kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5zIqoNrfJ1jbas the link is in the comments of that video :-) - Chris

[@gillsyK]

Hi, what do you do with your backpacks when you go on the rides? Can you leave them at the side?

[@37DisneyStreet]

Not sure about the thrill rides, but every other ride, I’ve always taken mine on. There must be places to leave them though if not… - Chris

[@gillsyK]

@@37DisneyStreet thanks Chris. I visited 10yrs ago and I can't remember what I did with my bag. 🙈 I read that people take them on the rides but I don't really fancy that with the thrill rides.

[@HughRaine]

There's a spot by your feet on every ride, or a little netted pouch in front of you if your bag is small enough. I sometimes grip my bag with my legs but it's unlikely to fly out!

[@gillsyK]

Thanks Hugh I was there a couple of weeks ago now but thanks for replying.

[@TheAmazingfulOne]

I may not have kids but I AM disabled so I get the basket on my motor scooter mwahaha . Just like people himming and hawing over taking a push chair, if you ever ever feel tired and sore related to your mobility, get a wheelchair. Even if you think you might not need it, even if you don't want to "be too dramatic", your body will thank you for taking a wheelchair and saving yourself 3 full days of marathon standing. The only downside is Disneyland Paris doesn't rent any electric chairs, only crappy manual wheelchairs!

[@37DisneyStreet]

Great tip, and very important 👍🏻

[@bbferreira78]

Why not invest in a hiking pack? If proper fitted to your body, you forget you have it on

[@37DisneyStreet]

Good idea! - Chris
