What kind of things are you looking for??
There is the Altamonte Mall up the I95 - but its pretty much the same as The Florida Mall?
There is the Fashion Square Mall, up the I95, east on 50
Speciality stores of Winter Park

Hope this helps a little??

Hi fello Essex-dweller! Just had a look, about a 3½ hour drive from our villa - perhaps next time we're in Miami! Thanks for the thought though, always appreciated. :goodvibes

Speciality stores of Winter Park


Good place to shop. We found it last year for the first time and really enjoyed it. I've found an article on it for you.http://www.sun-sentinel.com/travel/sfl-winterparkaug14,0,1741998.story

Took about 45mins to get there. Off the I4 onto Fairbanks Ave then left onto Park Ave if I remember right.

Premium Outlets at Lake Buena Vista for designer clothing at factory prices.

Why would you want to go anywhere else? The Premium Outlets in Lake Buena Vista and the new Prime Outlets International at the north end of I-Drive are the best outlet malls in Florida. The Florida Mall is Florida's largest shopping mall. The Mall at Millenia is one of the finest in the state. Those four can't be touched by anything else in Orlando. The previously mentioned Altamonte Mall and Fashion Square Malls are nice and have some of the same stores, but far fewer stores. Perhaps you've been there and done that, but these other places are poor cousins.
