Thanks for all the tripod advice - turned out to not be a problem as everyone said. Epcot was a breeze, of course, and low crowds really helped for MK. I used a Slik model that fits easily into my backpack, but I would normally use a table-top. I just can't think of where I could put it for decent shots of the fireworks. And fireworks were my goal. Sadly, the camera jammed up half-way through Wishes. Either the cable-release didn't work right, or I tried to shoot too many to fast at Bulb setting and RAW. Still, I got a couple of OK ones for a first time attempt that I'll post later.
