I wouldn't be the least bit surprised. That seems to be the "it" word right now.

The face palm was likely because it was only day 3. You'd think they'd have backups ready. It can't be a surprise that people get sick.

But it isn't pure economics. Disney can decide to run fewer cars and decrease labor costs by staffing at lower levels. It's not a zero sum game.

I get all of that. But I think part of the consideration here is how often you are able to get to the parks and how long you have to spend on photography while you are there. Love the idea of pushing creativity with a prime, but if you don't have time to move around to adjust to a prime, or if...

If I want to go with one lens, my favorite is probably my 24-105 f/4l. Great photos, reasonable range and lighter than my 2.8 alternatives. If I'm going in just for an evening, I'll use my 24-70 f/2.8. But that's heavier so don't choose it as often. Yes, I do miss the range. But it's a constant...

Oof. Your penance is to watch both the original Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty from start to finish.

Damn. Don't they quiz these people when they hire them?

I have never had issue at WDW bringing my tripod, and it's in its own carrying bag (but it's really pretty small at 16" long and could easily fit in my backpack if I wanted to put it there). I did get stopped at DLR this year with lots of questions about it. I thought for a minute they might...
