What's in the Bag? Pack Your Carry On Like a Pro | Disney Cruise Line 101
Day Bag
/deɪ bæɡ/
1. A flexible container of fabric or nylon with comfortable straps, measuring no larger than 22 inches wide, 14 inches high and 9 inches deep, carrying only the essentials
2. A schoolbag or backpack of everything and anything that is not replaceable and a vacation essential.
3. An enormous load perfect for dad to schlep around all of the fun things you might use the first afternoon of vacation, including but not limited to:

Here's what I pack in my day bag:
1. Large Ziploc bag corralling our cruise documents and passports
2. Medication
3. Makeup
4. Travel Delay Kit
6. Kylee's doll and Chris' bear
7. Charger cables for our phones
This single backpack serves as the carryon for all four of us. Keep in mind we take turns toting it with us until our room is available around 1:30 or so.
As far as strange things that always appear in my day bag, I've packed bubble gum, Hidden Mickeys Go To Sea, magnets for our stateroom door, the kids' swim suits and my Erin Condren planner. (I use it to journal during vacations.)

| Day bag and children and electronics, oh my! |
As far as don'ts, there is an extensive list of prohibited items on the Disney Cruise Line website. Some of the more innocuous items that should stay at home include balloons, irons, musical instruments, tape, over the door shoe holders, candles, food that is open or homemade, Christmas lights and portable fans.
If in doubt, check with Disney.
