Yes. There's ample space in the zipper pouches for water
This is my everyday,hands down favorite purse in the whole wide world!!!! I handwash it every once in a while,and baby it b/c I don't want it to wear out! I love the pattern (so much) and it's the perfect size for everything! I sometimes swap out for a baggalini sling bag for long park days tho,depending on the weather(how much extra clothes I might need if it's cold etc) I've rotated thru a few bag choices over the years... I had a VB small backpack, but it's sort of uncomfortable with thin straps,and not waterproof, the VB hipster ,not waterproof,and I've come back around to the my two above choices. being water resistant instead of soak-it-up cotton is pretty important.For the parks I really love the Lesportsac hobo bag. Its lightweight and it has a nice cloth wide strap to wear comfortably cross body. It can be shortened to wear over the shoulder too.
I have two Disney print ones, IASW Share your Dreams and Minnie and Mickey Vacation Paradise.
yes.
Yes, there is room on every ride for you to put it between your feet or in a pouch under the seat.
I can't stand to carry a shoulder bag in the parks because I hate having that feeling of it slipping off my shoulder or having to hold it there. So I've always carried a crossbody, but struggled to find one that was just the right size until now.
I recently got this one as a birthday gift (in the Disney Dogs print, which is now sold out) and it's PERFECT for the parks!

The reason I love it so much is because the wallet is "built in" via all those little card slots, and there are two "halves" of the bag which each open separately, and have their own card slots! I carry pretty much what you described you carry in your bag, and in the past I've struggled to make all that fit in a crossbody...in particular, my sunglass case would always cause my bags to "bulge out" and look weird. But this bag has enough depth to it that it doesn't do that. On one of the zippered sides, I carry my sunglass case, and on the other zippered side I carry a little zippered makeup pouch that contains lipstick, powder, concealer, a mirror, a few band aids, etc. It works perfectly for me because it's small enough that I don't feel weighed down, but it's large and structured enough to accommodate all my essentials.
Hopefully they'll keep making more of this style, cause it's a great little bag. Interestingly enough, though, it was the least popular one from the Dogs release and the last to sell out...the flat envelope style and the tote were much more popular. I got the tote too (!), but IMHO it's way too big and heavy to carry in the parks, and the envelope style is super-flat and causes the dreaded sunglass case bump I mentioned, lol. But both of those bags had a lot more "surface area" to show the dog print as compared to the Ambler bag, so I think that's the reason. When these bags were released I received quite the education on a Facebook group about the importance of "placement" and getting the "right" part of the print to show on the front of your bag.

Good luck finding your perfect parks bag!
I will say that when I've purchased bags myself at the parks, I do look at that now, but it won't prevent me from buying one -- I just look at the bags that are on the shelf and see which one has the best placement. And if they're all "bad", I don't really care. It's not something that 99.9% of the people who see my purse are going to even notice.
