Hi there Krista!
Thanks for bringing your question to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. I have visited the Disneyland Resort with purses, bags, and backpacks of all shapes and sizes. The great news is I have found you can pretty much take any of these on the attractions at Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park. Some of the more thrilling attractions like
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad do have a small compartment in front of your seat to stow belongings. On most attractions, I have just placed my bag between my legs on the floor.
Sometimes after a visit to the
Emporium I end up with a little too much to carry through the parks. When this happens I make use of the
convenient locker rentals located in each park or the Esplanade between the park entrances. These are great because your rental price includes unlimited access to your belongings throughout the entire day. This is a wonderful feature I have made use of not only for storing my purchases but also keeping my layers for chilly evenings.
You are going to have an amazing and magical time at the Happiest Place on Earth. Please feel free to return back if you have any other questions!
