Just wondering - anyone else here bringing analog gear into the parks?
Over the past year or so, I’ve gotten back into film photography in a big way. There’s something about shooting 35mm at the parks that feels right. The combination of nostalgia and physical media sets a vibe. It’s a different rhythm, and honestly, I enjoy the way it makes me slow down and frame more deliberately.
I’ve been rotating through a bunch of gear depending on my mood - everything from point-and-shoots to SLRs (both 35mm and 110), and lately a recently CLA'd/modded Canon rangefinder has been my go-to. Each one gives me a slightly different way of seeing the parks.
A few notes from personal experience:
- WDW is very film-friendly: no X-ray or CT scanners at bag check, so I’ve never had to worry about film getting fogged.
-Universal uses X-ray scanners, but every time I’ve asked nicely for a hand check, their security team has been surprisingly cool and accommodating.
- Shooting a 110 SLR in the parks is just fun.
Not trying to turn this into a photo-sharing thread - just curious to connect with others who are still shooting film on-property. What are you bringing? Favorite film stocks?
Let’s hear it.
