consider one of the velbon luxif tripods, tim reccommended to me and it's what i took to mousefest, light, holds a fairly large camera and lens, not too expensive, mates nicely with a bogen pistol grip head
i too was never one to bring a tripod to wdw, but it's changed my thinking, many of my posts were made using this, particularly the night mk photo tour, all my night resort pics
i'm planning on hauling it along to spain & med cruise next may, i've got lenses that weigh more
