We have been to Disneyland (SoCal) numerous times, so I know what is the ideal camera for me, but not necessarily for someone else. First off, I see no reason to be so negatively judgemental of people based on the equipment they choose to carry. When we are at Disney we are in an extremely crowded environment, so people are constantly going to be stopping, standing, etc, to get photos. The camera of choice, from smart phone to DSLR, makes no difference, and I see no point in condemning someone for their specific choices in this wide spectrum. We all need to be tolerant of others in close quarters, and that is expected at Disney. The camera that suits me best for Disney is my Olympus TG-4, which I carry in a Pelican Micro Case. This camera is extremely portable because of its compact size. The fast lens (f2 at the wide end) is helpful for night photography, and the flash works well for fill purposes. The fact that it is shock/water resistant means that jarring and wet rides won't hurt it. The Pelican case provides an additional level of protection along with quick access. When it is slung over my shoulder I hardly know it is there. Given that it is frequently hot at Disney, and one is going to be doing a lot of walking and standing on hot pavement, the comfort factor becomes an issue of some importance. Not specifically for Disney, but the strap I use for this rig is a PacSafe because of its overall strength since I use this camera in some adverse natural environments. That said though, I would tend to agree with one poster who submitted that the hefty entrance fee probably culls out a considerable portion of would-be thieves. If I feel smugly (but hopefully subtly) superior with my comfortable, compact, light weight, rugged, capable rig it is my responsibility not to overtly let on such thoughts to others more burdened.
