I've just run a data plot against all Disney photos in my lightroom catalog (looking at all photos that contain "Disney" somewhere in their metadata, which amounts to roughly 900 photos) and it shows me the following about the focal lengths I've used compared the lenses you have:
only 26 of my photos are less than 24mm focal length
only 5 of my photos are more than 200mm focal length
If I run the same data plot for all my photos (nearly 2500), then I get something a little different:
Roughly 75 photos are less than 24mm focal length
Roughly 300 photos are more than 200mm focal length
Now - my "Disney" photos are not from WDW (they're from DLR and DLP) and therefore do not include Animal Kingdom. I know from experience that when I photograph animals in zoos, I tend to use my 300mm or 500mm zooms.
With all this in mind, then personally, I'd either stick with the lenses you have which wouldn't leave you missing that many shots, or if you "have" to buy another lens then I'd opt for a 300mm zoom which tends to be a good compromise of range vs portability and would prove quite useful at Animal Kingdom.
Thanks for looking. That helps. We are not doing animal kingdom so i may get the lighter 70-300l and leave the 2.8 version at home. Plus I always wanted something lighter past 70mm. The 16-35 seems nice but I am grabbing people not so much lanscapes.
