Hi Maria! Welcome to planDisney!
Before you know it, you will be starting your Walt Disney World Resort vacation! I don't know which theme parks you are planning to visit, but I hope you have the
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival on your agenda. It is my favorite of all the EPCOT festivals and I can't wait to visit this year myself!
I think you will be happy to know that you are welcome to bring a backpack with you into the theme parks and the rest of the folks in your traveling party can do the same! While my family usually brings in one bag with us for the day, I have often traveled with groups of friends and we all bring in our own items. Things like sunscreen, ponchos, handheld fans, and water bottles are must-haves for me, so a backpack is also a must!
Take a look at the
Park Rules before your visit to view all the prohibited items like loose ice, glass containers, and alcoholic beverages. You will also want to make sure that your bags are no larger than 24" long x 15" wide x 18" high. Stick to the Park Rules and you'll be all set!
I hope you have a great visit, Maria! Please let us know if you have any other questions.
