How do people manage not to carry a bag into a park?

[Stitchfan626]

Just the thought of going without a bag makes me feel a bit queasy!

We used to go without bags, then we had the boys! Now I wonder how we ever did it. We are trying to cut down for our next trip but I can't get passed the feeling of needing everything lol.x

I wouldn’t think so. My wife and son both have a small black fabric phone wallet that clips on to their belt loop with their phones in and a little money and haven’t been told to go through bag check with them. They have gone to the no bag line and put in the tray if selected to go through the scanner and never been sent back to the bag check area.

My wife and daughter never seem to need a bag when we go to the parks me on the other hand I’m like a pack mule.

I use a small Kipling bag. Carries a couple of phones and some dollars for a snack. I don't mind queuing so they can check it. I'd rather that then no bag

Is it a hassle to take a bag in to the park? I know they'll do a bag search but does this take long? I just remember from previous times it only took a minute or 2?
Thanks

We were just hoping this year that because we are on site (so not need for money or to take snacks in with us) that we could go bagless

1. Saves the queues at the start - and I always pick the slowest queue
2. Bum bag makes me 'perspire' around the waist and husband complains rucksack not comfortable in the heat.

Just fancy option of going light and see lots of people doing it - just don't know how they do it!

Never take a bag - can’t stand carrying anything around in the heat. I used to wear a lanyard with dollars and my park tickets years ago, but now I just wear my magic band.

I carried a bag all last August. Never waited more than 30 seconds to have bag checked. It’s really not that big a deal

Onsite this time so can imagine bringing it less often

I would happily leave my bag at the hotel but normally take drinks/packed lunch with us. Is there a way to get a cup in the park for water or best to bring our own water bottle for it?
