? camera bag to travel with/bring to WDW?

[disneychic]

I'm leaving for a trip to WDW in a few short weeks and I'll be bringing my brand new Canon Eos Rebel T1i with me! I was wondering how everyone travels with their DSLR cameras? I don't want to be weighed down at the parks with a huge camera bag. Any suggestions? Just wondering if people use 1 camera bag for airport/carry on travel and another for the parks

In the park the camera is always around my neck (you need a really comfy strap if you plan to do this, I use a Crumpler Industry Disgrace). I keep a Lenscoat bodybag (the original style that accommodates a standard zoom lens) on it. Most of the time I put an extra lens or two in my hip pack with other extras, usually the rain ponchos are packed around them.

For travel my lens selection for the trip and second body are in a Tamrac Messenger 4 bag. We drive, so usually my camera is in the front passenger seat floorboard so I can grab it if I want and the extra lenses are packed in the back (we have a Toyota Matrix so that means I don't get to touch those suckers until we unload). If I decide to take a film camera it goes in a separate bag, unless it's one of my EOS bodies, then I stuff it on top of the Tamrac bag. When I fly I take the gigantic hold everything and then some bag I have that just barely meets carry on requirements adn pack my tamrac bag in a suitcase (filled with underwear LOL).

I use a Lowepro Slingshot 100AW at the parks, its fairly comfy if you dont throw too much in it, I usually carry 1 body, 2 sets of batteries and 3 extra lenses in my travel kit, it may be different this trip with a few new acquisitions.

I bring a bunch of stuff to WDW which includes two camera bags, Lowepro Slingshot 200 aw and Lowepro Fastpack 200. Which bag I bring is dependent on what I'm (and/or the DW) doing that day. The Fastpack is a little larger and can carry more gear (How do you say mule- Terry (GP). Here is a pic of what I took last time minus the bags ( I have added a few things since this was taken)

HOLY COW!

Wow....I can't wait to show this photo to my husband! He thinks the DSLR and 2 lenses are going to be too much to carry!

I was going to bring these..

But the wife said no...so I guess one camera body and the 16-35mm lens

Edit: I'll be using the Boda Lens bag. It'll fit a camera body with lens attached (5D w/ 16-35mm) and another lens inside (70-200mm) while the outside pocket can hold either a 50mm or 85mm . There's also an extra pocket for a Speedlite as well.

Thanks everyone for the great tips! I ended up buying a Tamrac 3442 Rally -- this will get me through the parks. I'll use my bigger Canon bag to get through the travel/airport portion (as it can fit everything I have and then some). Since I'm new to the DSLR world and just starting out I only have 3 lenses, 2 batteries, memory cards, cleaning supplies, etc.--- just a few basic things. I'm sure as I get more advanced I'll end up with a lot more (I can barely stop myself from buying more things as it is!)
