Walkaround lens?

[mousemom11]

This June is our first trip to WDW since I bought my Canon T2i last year. I have 2 lenses for it - EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS and EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM.

Which one would you recommend that I use as my walkaround lens?

Also, my camera bag is a Lowepro Slingshot 202 AW. For those of you who have one, what do you do with it on the more adventurous rides, such as Splash, Space, BTM? Can you cram it between your legs and hook the strap around your leg?

Walk around i would use your 18-135. the 70-200 is nowhere near wide enough for disney.

I was last there in Oct and used the 202aw as my bag and it fit fine on every single ride. I usually put the bag between my legs.

18-135 without a doubt.

18-135. I can not recall a single ride where I was not able to keep my 202aw with me. On splash mountain I did use the all weather cover. With that being said, I do not think I'd take it on the Kali River rapids in AK.

I'd take the 18-135. With the exception of Animal Kingdom I never need a longer lens than my 28-105 at WDW. For AK I'd stash the long lens somewhere to have when you need it.

Are there lockers of any sort by Kali where I can lock up my bag?

What did you use the long lens for at AK? The safari?

Thanks everyone for your input!

I used the long lens for the safari and other shots when I wanted a close up of animals that I couldn't physically move closer to in other parts of the park.

On Kali I put my entire bag, along with everything else I want to keep dry, in a large plastic shopping bag that I carry with me. I also do this in the rain. It works really well for me.

I'm not positive, but I think the lockers are located at the entrance of AK. I usually have someone in my group ( sometimes me ) that does not want to get soaked at the time we are riding, so I rarely need a locker.
