Oh Lug Parachute Mini Backpack…how I love you!
I will confess to being an over-packer. That’s right. I’ve been to Disneyland 400 plus times and I still pack too much. The way I see it- better to be over prepared than under prepared. Plus, I have a six year old and a three year old, so I just plain have a lot of stuff that I need to bring with me into Disneyland.
Now, you know the people with those huge backpacks that look like they might tip over at any second? That is me. For the past few years, since I have a little, I have sort of used the stroller as extra storage space. The issue I have had lately, is that my little doesn’t want to be in the stroller all the time. But, I don’t want to carry a huge backpack that weighs twenty pounds either!
This is where the Lug Parachute Mini Backpack comes in. This thing is awesome! It looks so small and compact and fits like a dream with its extra strap across the back of the neck and cushioned straps that fit around your arms. The backpack is also made of a water resistant finish so it repels all those Splash Mountain water splashes nicely. But, best of all, the Lug Parachute Mini Backpack has awesome storage. There are so many little pockets and zippers for all the goodies I bring into the park with me! It even includes a detachable change zipper pouch.
What can I fit in my mini-backpack? A windbreaker jacket, band aids, sunblock, my son’s inhaler, Dramamine, Aleve, toys, snacks, a battery charger, a cord for the battery charger, my lip balm, my cell phone, wallet, Starbucks gift cards and my annual pass. The backpack fits nicely on rides and makes it easy to get items in and out in a jiffy.

What do I also love about the Lug Parachute Mini Backpack? The colors! Our Undercover Diva has a purple one and I have a blue one. No more boring black backpack!
But, how about letting us show you the Lug Parachute Mini Backpack in action? Both Undercover Diva and I have put together videos so you can see just how useful the backpack is on Disney trips. Undercover Diva shows you how it looks at Walt [LUG] Disney World, and I show you how it looks at Disneyland. Check out our YouTube videos!
Lug also has several other things that I think might be useful for theme park trips. Things like this cross body bag.

Skipper Shoulder Pouch Cross Body Bag
This would be great for folks who don’t bring too many things into the parks. Also useful? This Everyday Tote. It can be used as a diaper bag as well!
And if you are spending the night at Disney, you might want to consider this Weekender Bag.

I love this backpack!! We use a cinch sac style otherwise we would carry too much around with us, the only problem is it’s not water repellent and also the strings can dig into your shoulders. I am definitely going to check this out for our WDW trip in May!!

I know the contest is over, but thanks so much for the review. This article and the YouTube videos answered all my questions about how funational this bag would be on my own trip. I know now it will work just as well for me as it did for you.
We’re glad you found the article and videos useful. 🙂 Enjoy your trip! ~Character Diva
