We just got back from a 7 day trip and I gotta say...My two oldest girls (17 and 13) carried their own string backpacks and it was a lot easier on me and my husband! We carry a smallish family pack and it was a hassle always having to open it to get out what they needed (I think we all know how high maintenance teen girls can be.). This time, they kept up with their stuff and it didn't really add any time at the bag check line.
One side note: My oldest daughter lost her pack while riding SM. It had her phone and wallet in it. So, there is the increased chance that you might have to wait until an hour after park close to retrieve your daughter's pack because she didn't secure it on a ride if you let your kids take their own packs; but, I would do it again.
