Character Warehouse - Belz Outlet

[buzz5985]

Thanks for the tip from this board. We went for a shopping trip and were very happy with the results. Bought 2 sweatshirts with Mickey on them for 19.99. Saw the same sweatshirt at AKL with the Safari Mickey on it for $59.99. Bought a polo shirt for my son - $6.99. Price tag $24.00. Looked like everything was overstock, no irregulars that I could see, and the clerk told me that they get new shipments every day. Thanks for the tip. Next time, Iwill go BEFORE I go to the parks. LOL

Wow!! Great Shopping!! Isn't fun to beat the park prices??

[buzz5985]

Sure is.

That's why this is our first stop in Orlando now! It's great to get a deal and we don't spend as much park touring time shopping. Glad you found great buys.

This is our first time driving (In April)... so I'd like to stop by this store. Can you give me some directions from entering Orlando (coming from Canada).

Thanks
Sandie

If you're coming I-95, there's also a Disney Outlet Store in the Belz Outlet Mall in St. Augustine, FL. I believe it's exit 95. We have got some really good buys there.

Just got back from Orlando. I went to Belz Factory Mall what great deals. AKL tee shirt for 5.99
and some other items really cheap.

Great place!!

This weekend (March 22-24) is the tent sale at Belz. Great deals are even better during this sale!

So where are these stores in relation to WDW itself? I haven't been down to Orlando in 7 years and this is my first time driving around there as well. Would appreciate any help. Are there any other stores we should check out for Disney merchandise (besides the parks themselves)?

87 days to go! WOOHOO! Is it sad I'm counting down?

I found a link from mousesavers.com to the factory outlets web pages and it had a map. I don't know how to make a link on here yet. In mousesavers, click on "other WDW savings" then on "souvenirs" read that and there is a link for Belz and Lake Buena Vista factory stores which are literally one mall beside the other with one Disney (Character Primere) store in each mall. I printed a map for the Lake Buena Vista stores and the web address shows:
www.lbvfs.com/mall/information.htm

i hope this makes sense.

The Belz Outlet is off exit 30A, Universal Studios. It's across I-4 from Universal Studios, so if you are coming from the North you would have to cross over the bridge. Then make a left onto International Drive, it's a mile or two down the road.

I just got back and went to the tent sale before we drove back home. OMG!!! I bought $257 worth of stuff, but only had to pay $77!!! It was 70% off everything in the tent from the lowest price. I was so excited. I think the best thing that I got was a Minnie Mouse watch that went for $55 for $16.50. It's the one with a black leather starp and Minnie is laying on her side. I'm spoiled now. I didn't buy a lot from the parks in the first place so was glad to get these great deals.
