Not exactly 90%, but about half were taken by 24mm (applied to me anyway).

Neither my friends nor my family have the patient to wait while I was 
switching lenses. If you plan to buy a wide angle, perhaps the money would 
be better spent on a zoom. You family might appreciate more if it is a 
family tour rather than a photo season.
