These are the three bags that I take with me.
I thought it was fitting to line them up under my WDW throw blanket that I got in April.
The first one is my Vera Bradley mini hipster. I LOVE it. Definitely my favorite one. Lightweight, easy to clean, not too many zippers and pockets and stuff to mess with. The strap is nice and long, comfortable to sling. And it's easy peasy to adjust. Just tie a knot in the top of it and make it the length you like best! I like to keep things simple. I think it cost me $45.00. Note: I bought the little coin purse to go with it, for the small amount of cash that I carry...but never used it. It just was kind of awkward in there. There is not a lot of room inside, however...there are little slots to organize park passes, photopass, debit card, etc. and enough room to throw a digital camera, cellphone, chapstick, purell, and a couple of dollar store ponchos. I put cash in the front zipper pocket (I wouldn't suggest this if you carry a lot of cash, but I only keep $10 or so with me.)
The next one is my small travel bag thing from Eddie Bauer. This was a favorite on past trips, but my VB quickly took that role over. This has a lot more room and pockets to organize your stuff. In the past, since I had all these pockets, I'd end up taking more. Which made it heavier. But for those of you who need more in the parks, this is a GREAT bag. Would be able to fit a small umbrella in addition to the things I mentioned above. Most sunglasses would fit in it as well. I think this cost around $15.00, but it was from the Eddie Bauer outlet store, so a regular retail store may charge more.
Finally, my Coach sling bag. This I would not suggest if it was the only bag you were going to take. Actually, the only reason I take it is because it's brown. I have not found another brownish bag that I like, so I take this one for when I wear brown. Actually, the only time I really wear it is when we go out to dinner at night and I wear my brown capris or brown leather sandals with khaki pants/skirt. I don't care if I'm on vacation...a girl has to coordinate! 
Anyway, it cost me around $70.00 (maybe a bit less) at the Coach factory store and I use it more at home. Strap is not as long, so it rides a bit close (I wear a size 16).
Wow...those reviews ended up being longer than I had planned, but I hope it helps someone!
