A day in Disney World involves a lot of things. There are a lot of smaller items you should have on you at all times, and your pockets just aren’t going to cut it. Sure you could load up a Disney backpack like we did, but it would be better to have some items on you for quick immediate access.
Enter a Disney World Fanny Pack. Whether you call them a fanny pack, bum bag, hip pack, or belly bag (not a fan of that one), they all are one and the same. Plus, they all share one thing, they are super useful in your trip to Disney World. Sure they aren’t the most fashionable thing to wear but they are hella useful (wait… are we saying ‘hella’ again?!). So if you are looking for a smaller bag to wear to Disney World, then a Disney fanny pack may be your best bet.
Benefits of a Disney Fanny Pack
It’s easier on your back.
If you have never worn a backpack for a full day in the Orlando heat, you are in for a surprise. Not only does it wear on your back, but you can swear it doubles in weight from the start to the end of the day.
It’s right against your body
I haven’t heard of things going missing in Disney World, but I do know that it’s a lot easier for someone to take something out of a backpack than it is a fanny pack. Mostly because the fanny pack is pressed against your body so if there is a hand on it, you are more likely to notice it.
You have your arms free
At some point in your day, your little ones are going to get tired. You will either have to give them a piggy back (which is hard with a backpack) or call it a day. With a fanny pack it’s much easier to carry your tykes around. If nothing else your hands are free to hold hands, shop or do whatever you want with your hands (I suggest eating more Dole Whip).
Less bulky
The crowds can get pretty thick, navigating around with a backpack can make it hard to dodge in between people. But with a waist pack you don’t have to worry about hitting people with your bag.
