While it is easy to buy DVD players that can play (most) discs from any region, I question whether it's necessary any more. When DVD players/discs were first released there was so few films available in Region 2 (Europe) that the only way to access the lastest releases and the best of the back catalogue was to buy from Region 1 (USA). This is what I did, and initially just about all my DVD purchases were Region 1, so I needed an all-region player. Now, however, many films are released simultaneously across all regions, and at the most there is a month or two delay between Region 1 and Region 2 releases. So although 20% of my DVD collection is Region 1, I haven't bought a Region 1 disc for well over a year - there has just been no need to go to the extra hassle of importing discs. There is also the added complication of RCE-encoded discs which can defeat many 'chipped' DVD players. I can no longer see the need to buy Region 1 discs for people who live in Region 2.
On a related point, whenever I have visited CD/DVD stores in Orlando the prices are far higher than you can get from mail order companies in the USA and in the UK. It would be worth checking out some typical prices from mail order retailers so you know whether you are getting bargains, or not, in the tourist shops in Orlando.
