Guide to the Best Fanny Packs for Disney World

7 BEST Disney World Fanny Packs For Your 2025 Vacation (Buying Guide + Tips)

Fanny packs are BACK! And if you’re looking for the best ones for Disney World, then you’re in the right place.

Gone are the days when people looked back at their photos from the 80s and the 90s and cringed because the 1980s & 1990s are back in style. 

What goes around comes around, and that’s always been true for fashion trends – including fanny packs!

Not only are fanny packs totally on trend right now, but they’re also the most useful, convenient way to carry things when you’re visiting any of the Disney Parks! 

This is especially true if you’re traveling solo! 

When there isn’t another person to hand off your backpack or sunglasses to on the faster thrill rides at Disney, you’re stuck with two options: 

1. Putting all your hopes into those loose, mesh bags at the feet of your rider seat. 

Or 2. Not riding a favorite ride you love – for fear of your hat/sunglasses/phone flying off.

So what you need is an ideal Disney World fanny pack.
