Which camera for Disney trip: T6i or 7D?

I'm looking for some advice from the experts!

I recently switched to Canon, so I don’t have a lot of shots taken so far with either of these cameras, but I got my hands on a pretty decent gear bag to start with.  Here’s what I have to play with so far...

Cameras: Canon 7D, Canon T6i

Lenses: Canon 15mm f2.8, 24-105mm f4, 70-200mm f2.8, and Tamron 18-200mm

(And might be adding Tamron 17-50mm f2.8)

I’m taking the family to Disney and want to carry just one camera and maybe two lenses. I like the nifty new features of the T6i (WiFi, touch screen, app support, newer sensor), but I feel like the 7D is the more “pro-ish” camera.

Since I don’t have a lot of experience with either, I want to start practicing for the trip, but want to focus on one body vs the other. (Plus I want to get a few accessories before the trip and need to decide which body to buy for: extra batteries, wired remote, etc)

I’m a long-time reader, first time poster looking for some solid arguments for either camera from everyone here.

Thanks!

When I travel I take the lightest body and one lens. I find dragging around lots of gear that will rarely or won't get used a real pain and distracting to my vacation. Go lean and light and enjoy your holiday and family time.

6Ti and your most versatile lens would be a great choice.  Agree with go light.  I just came back from a week vacation shooting only the SL1 and mostly the 18-55.  I only pulled out the longer zoom on the rare occasion, and I really appreciated the light weight kit.
