I need a big bag that doesn't look like a binliner.

[MamaG]

Going to disneyland for 2 days in a month and need a bag large enough to hoik around for two full days, containing nappies, wipes, water bottles etc etc. Needs to be comfortable to carry but NOT a rucksack.

Anyone seen anything that fits the bill?

This caught my eye the other day - bottom row second from the left - the Suedette Scoop Bag
100% polyester. Lining 100% cotton. 29 x 11 x 42cm.£19.99

Are you going to the Paris one?

d'you know, that might be just the thing! I really like that and looks like it fits the bill - thanks!

Morning MamaG! Glad to be of service Have a great trip, we went in March - it was freeezing, so don't forget your thermals!

oops sorry - yes, we are going to Paris and expecting it to be cold!

I think I'll get it in chocolate though (although berry is nice)

Its really rather annoying though, I had a big bag last year and decided I was doing small bags this year and chucked all the big bags out!

Any tips for disneyland?

I'm torn between the berry, the choc or saving up for a rather lush radley bag i have seen at 6x the price . But as i still carry the occasional leaky juice bottle & sticky lolly wrappers i am thinking that £19.99 is probably quite enough to spend. Now Disneyland...

First of all look here, it's a forum for complete enthusiasts but there's loads of useful information you won't find anywhere else here .
Be organised in advance. The official disney website publishes all the times of shows, character meet n greet, parades etc, so you can plan your day around anything you particularly want to do - eg meet the disney princesses.
Check out the fast pass system on the popular rides - go to the ride, get a fastpass ticket which gives you a time slot to return and do the ride, saves a lot of queuing. But you have to get there early.
The food is pretty awful/predictable, we found the best value, although more expensive, was to go for a table service meal.this site has menus Also you can book some of them. We tried the Steakhouse, Annettes Diner and Hard Rock Cafe in the Disney Village and they were all ok. Try and eat early to miss the crowds.
Have fun!

My DH (bless his little cotton) bought me a Miss Sixty shoulder bag for our anniversary. Green, roomy and ever so lovely.

Foxtrot, thanks for your tips, great - but that when I read your first sentence:-

I though I'd be clicking on a handbag forum

LOL mamag, i'm sure there is such a forum somewhere! My fault, i'm always jumping in to post without explaining myself!!
