Any ideas on a good park touring bag to suit our needs?

This will be our first time touring WDW without a large stroller with a large basket underneath. We usually just took two big ziploc bags in the basket with our stuff in it. This year we will be taking an umbrella like stroller with a very small, not easily accessible area for stuff, so we will need some sort of bag to carry our minimal amount of stuff. Here's my list of things we will probably bring to the parks: ponchos (can probably fit in the basket of the stroller easily), sharpies and index cards for autographs, bandaids, gum, hand sanitizer, small ziploc with wipes in it, a few snacks for kids, travel tylenol container, roll of rolaids, inhaler, glow sticks at night, sunscreen, and a travel sized kleenex. I think that's about it. We might try to put our camera in there too-not sure. I would love for my dh and I to both be able to carry it-he's tall and has large shoulders/chest area. Any ideas or suggestions??
 
I would just get a normal size backpack. We actually bought a new one last year from WDW it was the one you could get if you spent $40 and got it $15 I think? It is the same size as an llbean original book bag but larger opening. Any reg.size back will work. My dh is 6'2 and has no problem carrying it. We put the same things you have on your list that we do
 
I have a the Victorinox Flex Pack mini backpack exactly like this one (someone is selling them on ebay for $19.99 - just look for Victorinox Flex Pack on ebay. I am not the seller, but I wasn't sure if I was allowed to post the link to ebay or not).

I love it because the straps can be used as two straps for a backpack or clipped together to become one long strap to wear across the body like a messenger bag or made shorter to wear like a purse. It is appropriate for a man or a woman plus it is great quality and very sturdy. It is large enough to carry all of my important items (I even use it at the airport as my carry on and it will hold my 10" netbook computer, plus a paperback book and everything else I need to keep with me), but small enough that I can easily take it on all of the rides without it getting in the way. I can't recommend it highly enough.
