The only problem with "once a day" suncream is that it generally only lasts about 6 to 8 hours. It doesn't actually last a full day. So if we apply suncream at 7:30am before heading out to the parks we'd need to apply more suncream before 3:30pm in the afternoon. Even with "once a day" suncream, I often find I need to reapply it early in the afternoon otherwise I start to burn. I do burn easily though.

That's pretty much us too.

Although you've reminded me of how I have to stuff my cargo shorts pockets with everyone else's glasses and hats etc before a ride. How I love doing that 89 times a day!

Most of my bottoms dont have deep enough pockets - I need my phone, maybe a camera, plasters, painkillers, somewhere to put water, suncream, poncho at the very least :P aha

I take a Kipling bum bag, carries my phone, car keys, bottle of sun cream, wipes. Husband sometimes takes a back back with snacks/drinks in depends how long we go for.
Takes two mins to go through bag check

I'm a big believer in travelling light. I take wallet, hand sanitiser (very small bottle) and a pack of tissues. If not a water ride day, a small camera, one in our whole party. Ticket and room key in a lanyard round my neck. Isn't much of an issue that one of those things can't solve.

I was grateful for the ability to circumvent the bag check at universal by using the smaller one at the end of the path from RPR though.

Never take a bag - what a complete burden that is. Boyfriend has zipped pockets on his shorts, I have little pockets in my skirts.. but then again we use a locker for most things - car/villa keys, tickets, most of our money. We carry a little sachet of sun cream and lip balm - think that's about it.

We take a small waist bag that can also be used as an across body bag. My daughter and I both take medication (lots of it) so it needs to be safe, I don't want to imagine what could happen if one of my tablets fell out of my pocket and was picked up by a child. We were there last September and quite often my daughter be through the bag queue before I had cleared the non bag queue.
