You can disable all of them with the --no-plugin switch when launching Vim.

To re-enable one by one, you COULD combine that with a "runtime plugin/someplugin.vim" to enable a specific plugin after load. But this would be probably even more onerous than removing plugins in vundle and putting them back in one by one.

Alternatively, *most* plugins have a load guard like:

if exists('g:loaded_someplugin')
finish
endif
let g:loaded_someplugin = 1

For any such plugins you can simply put "let g:loaded_someplugin = 'skip'" into your .vimrc, and remove that line and restart Vim to re-enable the plugin.

I think I remember at least one of VAM and vundle also claim to support enabling/disabling plugins while Vim is still running, but I don't remember which does this, and I didn't see that mentioned in the brief glance at each github page. Perhaps I'm misremembering.
