I can relate to your question. My wife and I have been to the parks many times, both on our own and with adult kids & grandkids in tow. I have taken both my FF Sony kit as well as my G9 with Panasonic zooms. In fact, we're heading back to Disney World in May.

I tend to like wide, and I'd prioritize my Panasonic 8-18, but I understand that many people don't need wider than 12mm in m43, roughly equivalent to 24mm in FF. So for your situation, I'd suggest that the 12-35/2.8 could live on the camera most of the time, with the 35-100/2.8 coming out when you felt that you needed it. Or, travel to the hotel with the two zooms & your wide prime, and choose two to take to the parks on a given outing.

With two little ones, the idea of many lens changes will go out the window pretty quickly, I'd think. An option would be just to take the G9 with the standard zoom, which would be light, convenient and cover a lot of possibilities.
