Great Disney bag for laptop accessories

Bought this bag specifically to carry my camera through Disney Security. It worked great for 10 days at Walt Disney World. Most of the time I opened the back door and since they could see everything at a glance, they just waved at me. It's nice and streamlined, only two small outside pockets that don't fit much in so it slipped through most of the time without checking. I like the top pocket to take my camera. And two side pockets allow you to change lenses when the bag is hanging on one shoulder. It was really nice as I could switch from my "all purpose" lens to a low light lens to keep up with the kids when out in the dark. It's possible, but I started wearing my lenses in a vest a day after day 3 at the park. The photo shows my cargo on the way to the airport. Sizes are larger than allowed for a personal item so I stuffed my 36oz. The water bottle inside was afraid I would be forced to check the bag. There has been a lot of discussion on the bulletin boards about whether this would fit under the seat in front of you on an airplane. The attached video shows that it fits easily (United Economy Class). I even had a water bottle in the included molly holder on the outside of the bag on the way back and it still fit. I didn't use the included tripod mount or the extra bag as I tried to keep the bags I found to a minimum by constantly going through security, but they seem very secure as do the two straps provided. The straps were fine but felt slippery. My only complaint was that the chest strap kept riding up and not staying in place. I never tried the waist belt as I was trying to stay as skinny as possible when mounting, dismounting or driving. The bag does not include a waist belt, but does include a 36-ounce water bottle that fits under airplane seats and in storage compartments at all Disney attractions. I'm not sure if this happens with the lap belt on. In the parks I put the 5th lens in the bag. The gorilla dome and umbrella replaced the water bottle, except for one day when I took my 150-500mm lens (6th lens) which fit perfectly in my backpack. Outside. It would be nice if the rain cover could be detached from the bag to dry, but it is sewn to the bag. Excellent bag. Would buy again.
