That'll work great.
The only time I needed the telephoto was for the African Safari ride, but taking photos on that ride is really difficult because they rarely stop (plus all those same animals are at your local zoo).
A close-up lens will work in 90% of the situations, and a low light lens is great too for indoor and night shots.
Epcot (a ride called "Living with the Land"). It's one of those rides with no line.

This next photo came from the United Kingdom at Epcot. I asked a worker to "direct me to the lou" and she said (unamused), "you mean the toilet?"
Then she said that I was being vulgar. My wife thought it was hillarious, but I was red-faced.
France was awesome (especially the food). There was this shop (far left of the photo...out of the picture) that had five-dollar pastries that were incredible, especially the Napolean. We kept going back there for dessert.

Like every other item in the park, all the items here are made in China. I made my kids check every tag on every item they wanted to buy, encouraging them to find American products (or products made outside of China). Not easy. I told them, "in the China section you don't have to worry about it."

Finally, this was Hollywood Studios (Indiana Jones Stunt Show). I got pulled from the audience, put in a robe and turbin, and got to be part of the entire show. It was really fun. I was surprised by how hot the fire was in the various explosions. The lady who called me onstage had me do some yelling and goofing off, then said, "follow this guy to wardrobe where you can sign the accident waiver." The audience laughed, as did I.
But sure enough, they actually made us sign an accident waiver.
I'm the fifth from the left, reaching down toward the dying man. I'm wearing jeans, a head turbin, and my mouth is open in a yell. I was a merchant in Cairo as things exploded around us, including a truck that flipped over. It was pretty wild, especially the fight scenes.
To get on stage, wear some kind of unique hat. Trust me. When the lady asked who wanted to volunteer, I yelled and pointed to my hat. It worked. She called me down. We got to be in pretty much the whole show (except the opening scene). They direct you from one part of the stage to another, and if you were to get spontaneous you could get really hurt (and tick off a lot of people). We were all over the place.
There was a member of the audience with us who got hit by one of the actors, and it took me a minute or two to realize he was a ringer (a stuntman). It was pretty funny to see him get hit "for real" and hear the audience go "oooh."
Thank you.
