We are going to WDW and I want great pics but don't want to take anymore equipment than necessary. We have been 4 times and the last time I only took the P90. Here's what I have: Nikon D7000, D5100, P90, P310, Nikkor 18-55, 18,200, 18-300, 50 mm I-8. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

If you do have all that equipment, you know what each is doing for you, so, how can somebody else tell you what to use?

Nanny, I would take the 18/200 and the 50(for nite shots).
Whatever you do, don't take any gear that's micky-mouse !!
Have a great time. SS

I'd take the D7000 and 18-200. I used that combination with great success for a couple of years. It's a good body, and you're covered from 18mm to 200mm. Add a polarizer to that and deepen the colors.

If you can, bring a good tri-pod. It helps with night photos, and increases the cardio work out.

I live about a half hour from Disney so I go a fair amount of times. Each one of the parks has lockers near the entrance so if you want to bring more and not carry all your equipment the rest will be in close proximity. Also good for extra clothes for our Florida weather and stashing snacks.
As for which lenses, that will depend on what your interests are. I bring different equipment with me each time depending on what I'm going for.
Have a great time and don't forget to stop at a dollar tree or such and pick up rain ponchos
