Doing the Disney World trip for the first time with my family. Kids are 10 and 7. Staying at the Polynesian. I'm torn as to what to bring. Here is my gear:

5D3

17-40L

24-70L

70-200/2.8LII

100/2

Considering buying either a 35/2 IS or a Fuji X100s for the trip.

Have you done the Disney trip with your DSLR? Are you glad you did? Do you wish you had brought something smaller?

Right now I am thinking of these possible combinations, in order of my current leaning:

  1. 5D3 + 35/2 + 100/2
  2. Fuji X100s only
  3. 5D3 + 24-70
  4. 5D3 + 17-40 + 100/2
  5. 5D3 + 17-40 + 70-200
  6. 5D3 + 24-70 + 70-200

I am torn between lightness+portability, and photo capability. I'd love to hear from some people who have been there!!

Thanks.

My obvious answer would be the 24-70.

However if you are not there for a specific shot

why bother?

But since I shoot professionally, maybe I don't understand these things. Most of my personal shots, I really don't shoot that much outside work, are usually made with my Iphone (some of my most cherished photographs  are in fact some old Polaroids)

Memories don't care about pixels.
