I live in Orlando, and can answer question #1. The premier game
store in Orlando is called Sci-Fi City. It's located on Colonial
Drive (aka Highway 50, a main road that runs East/West though all of
Orlando) just East of the intersection with 436 (a main road that
starts at the Orlando International Airport and runs North then
curves West through the city).  If you drive North from the airport
on 436 for about 6 miles you'll come to the intersection with
Colonial Drive (50). Turn right at the intersection and Sci-Fi City
is about a block further down the road on your right side in a
shopping plaza that has a Home Depot.

In regard to #2, I know that we have used book stores, but I can't
recommend any since I don't frequent them. The folks at Sci-Fi might
be able to help.

In regard to #3, you can find western style shops around the
outskirts of the city. We used to be a cow town (especially South
towards Kissimmee), believe it or not, and you can still find some
country areas if you drive out far enough.

When you arrive, your best bets for #2 and 3 are to grab a phone
book and try to find some places close to where you're staying.

HTH,
Robert
