[Leica] bring a leica to disneyworld?

Hi Hoppy,

Once you get to the hotels / resort area, it's literally 45 minutes or more 
back to civilization - and that is tourism's version of civilization.  If 
you are in your own car, you would be able to eventually find someplace, but 
if you're staying on property, or in one of the hundreds of hotels in the 
vicinity - there just isn't a "real" town or city close by.  It's kind of 
mind blowing.  There may be a few neighborhoods nestled in between DW, 
Universal Studios and the others (hey, the employees have to live 
somewhere), but I wouldn't know where to begin looking - especially for a 
nice camera / film store.

You are definitely right about the new machines being safe for modern, slow 
film.  The last time I flew to Dallas for the day with my M3, I let them run 
it through the x-ray machine.  I cringed, but the film was fine and all the 
pictures came out ok - as ok as they would have otherwise.  It's just the 30 
year "thou shalt not" about film in x-ray machines beating in my brain when 
I'm at the airport that makes it seem almost taboo.
