wear it, girl

November 3, 2011

So, you’re going to Disney World.  You’ve secured your resort accommodations, purchased your tickets, and made your dining reservations.  Woo hoo!  You’re all set.  Until you realize that you need a handy little bag to carry all your stuff around in.  But what kind of bag is best for park touring?
