The family (and I) are going to Orlando this fall. Disneyworld, Epcot and all that family oriented fun that central Florida offers.

With the two small kids I need to get a lens that is substantially less heavy and bulky for my (soon to have) 30D than my 70-200 f2.8. I'm seriously considering the 70-300 DO lens. Has anyone had any real world experience with it? The reviews tend to imply that it's great or that it is awful and expensive.

In addition I have to get another flash, I'm looking at the Sigma 500 Super ... instead of the 580EX. I don't need the extra guide number and I want to put the difference in money towards a new wide prime lens maybe a 20mm.

The kit I plan on having while away will be:

30D
50mm  f1.8 (light and fast for indoors)
new flash
new 70-xxx portable zoom
28-105 mm
18-55 EF-S kit lens
100mm f2.8 macro (back at hotel room)
monopod (back at hotel room)
bean bag

I'm staying away from EF-S lenses, I don't see them as a long term investment.

Am I missing anything? or am I off base with carrying a good size kit into the park? Can you bring in a camera?

thx in advance

david
