Theme Park Bag.........................

[rosie]

The more we go, the less we take and have now got it down to a park ticket and a credit card most times.

If I take a camera it is the tiny Nikon Coolpix which has it's own over shoulder case. Ciggies and lighter in my pocket, so no queuing at the bag line and no lockers needed for the rides [msnsmile2]

Been over to Universal 4 times in the last week and depending on which park depends on what we take.

Normally Mr CDV carries the rucksack with small first aid kit: plasters, painkillers, insect spray, all small sizes as well as travel size sun cream,tissues,wetwipes.

Spare drawers and top, waterproof sandlas, plus a small towel for the three water rides in IOA. Poncho or bin bag to wrap rucksack in on these rides.

Sometimes lug the camera around plus small purse with annual passes/creditcards/Villa business cards, lip gloss, small hairbrush and cell phone.

It sounds tons but it is all quite compact and we have been caught out when we have gone with just wallets so like to be prepared!

Us too, Tickets, cash and cc. We dont always even bother to take a camera nowadays which is wrong I know. Last time we were over I started using just a bum bag as it fits all of the above in along with ciggies, lighter and sunglasses ( I dont like to wear my sunglasses on the fast rides.)

I do remember the days though when we packed loads of stuff plus the kitchen sink when our kids were younger! I much prefer it now[msnwink]

I must show this to my husband. I usually have my camera and a few tissues in my pocket, Pete has a wallet and his mobile, just the same as when we go out at home. Down here in the West Country we come across walkers all the time and Pete is absolutely fascinated by what they could possibly be carrying in the huge great rucksacks they all seem to carry. He fantasises about becoming the rucksack police and asking them to turn out the contents (strange I know). I can now show him this so he'll have a good idea [msnwink]

Sounds like everyone carries the same sort of stuff as us then.

I look forward to the day when I to can dispense with the bag and just carry my wallet and sunglasses - but the kids are at the age when wet wipes and tissues are essentials.
Having said that, if Grandma is still coming with us when the kids have grown up she will then be at an age when wet wipes are still required. [msnscared][msneek]

When its really hot we take a flannel in a little pouch, we run it under cold water and then wipe around your face/neck and it really cools you down for a bit.

[CERICROWLEY]

Barely anything now.

We have lanyards thats take care of the passes, and credit card and money. there is also a bottle holder catch so that takes care of the frozen bottle of water, and the camera and phone are on my waist, and finally some ibroprofen in my pocket. No bags at all now. so no queueing for the bag search.
