I was wondering if anyone knows whether or not you can purchase 1600 speed film at the parks?

Highest sold in the camera center on main street is 800 speed. Take a trip to a wolf camera in the florida mall for higher.

Why do you want such a high speed film? Even if you get it whos going to process it. If you have some where why not just uprate the 800 and push process? Fuji 800 is the best film around.

If you want to take shots ofthe fireworks etc 400 is fine just make sure you have a camera support.

If it possible to get the fireworks w/ 400? I have trouble shooting spectro w/ 400 from 10 feet away (800 fixes it.. I may eventually try 1600, whenever I can find it)

Its all to do with the intensity of the light. In spectro the light is from bulbs admiditly lots of them, but the area of interest is the characters so you can get better results from a faster film though to be honest I used 400 last year and had no probs.
The Fireworks are an intense piece of light and you do not need to use such fast film, infact the large grain will deteriorate fine detail, but again yes I used 800 Fuji and had good results.
if you are using a compact camera most wont allow for 800 film anyway.
If youre using an SLR heres my tips,
For Spectro try a shutter of 1/125th, fully open aperture. Just dont go slower tham 1/30th as youll get movement.
For Fireworks you can use 400 film shutter 1/60th again fully open if you have a support.
For the Magic Kingdom I took some shots from the bridge near Splash mountain The Fireworks came out fine but I needed a slightly longer exposure for the castle but as i had no support I just got camera shake.
