I love my Baggalini Zip 'n' Go, but it's really a "Zip, Zip, Zip, Zip, Zip a Few More Times 'n' Go," and it would be nice to have something super-simple to take through the bag security lines at the parks.

Can anyone recommend a bag that is:
Max size about 7 x 9 x 3 (could be a little smaller).
Good for the elements/outdoor wear of WDW.
Crossbody purse style (not a backpack)..
Most important: Basically one main compartment with one zipper (a divider making a couple of open sections inside would be nice) and an outside pocket (zip ok but a snap/magnet/velcro closure on outside pocket would be nice).

Any thoughts?
 
I found this, is it too small? https://www.amazon.com/Disney-Micke..._SR160,160_&psc=1&refRID=PTBBKTM66GXC6PF3151Y. I try to go bagless but when I do carry one it's usually a Dooney & Bourke crossbody similar to this https://www.disneystore.com/bags-to...-bourke-walt-disney-world/mp/1370710/1000291/. I'm embarrassed to say how many I have but it's more than 1 and less than 10. I bought a cute Disney brand crossbody last time I was there, it only has one zipper pocket but it holds a bunch. Similar to this https://www.disneystore.com/bags-to...-world-2016-crossbody-bag/mp/1390878/1000291/ but mine is gray and just has a mickey on it.
 
Are you open to sling bags? Kind of cross body, but the bag itself is on your back. If so, I highly recommend the Patagonia Atom sling. One main compartment that is a pretty decent size, one small pocket on the outside for wallet or phone or something else small. There's also a small pocket on the strap, but other than to hold lip balm it's not all that useful. I used to wear cross body purse/bag, but I found the pull on my neck too much for the long days at Disney. The sling, even when fully loaded, I forget is even there. No strain on shoulder or neck, stays where I put it and nothing swinging around at my hip. Access to the bag is easy too, just rotate the sling around until the bag is in front. I do the same for most rides, so I almost never have to take it off if I don't want to.

I have this sling backpack. https://www.amazon.com/AONIJIE®-Ori...&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=anoijie+sling+backpack I have used it in both Hawaii and Disney. It holds a water bottle and everything else you may need for the day. Very light and folds into it's own pocket when not being used. I really liked that I could put my cell phone in the pocket on the strap and a portable charger in the little zipper pocket with a short cord running between. It worked really well for me. The price helped me decide too since I figured I could waste $15 bucks on something that may or may not work for me.
 
I have both Disney vera hipster and mini hipsters. Very lightweight and cute!
 
The smaller lesportsac bags are close to your requirements. The Kylie and Small Cleo are crossbody, with a single zip main compartment, and Cleo has an open outside, while Kylie has 2 zip outside pockets (both styles flat outside pocket(s)). They're a little bit bigger than the measurements you gave, but do come in Disney prints. Something to look at maybe?
 
Thanks for all the suggestions and links! You've given me a lot of ideas. :goodvibes
