Any shopping near Orlando airport?

[kmr444]

Good day!!!

I just picked up our tickets and documents for our April 30th Magic 7 day Eastern! We got stateroom 5633. I am so excited I can hardly sit still! It will be our first cruise! Any suggestions for travelling with a 5 year old would be greatly appreciated, but my main question is whether there is any shopping near the Orlando airport? We will be overnighting it at the Econo-Lodge and then return to the airport for the Disney transfer bus. We were hoping to purchase bottled water and sodas to keep in our room onboard that evening in Orlando so we do not have to lug them all the way from Winnipeg to Denver then Orlando. We arrive at 6pm so we could even hit a mall if one were close enough. The idea of shopping for even an hour in Florida for me is almost as exciting as the cruise!!!

orlando airport itself is like a shopping mall! it's got lots of stores...and an eatery area, with lots of seats spread throughout the airport! we lounged there, after the cruise...our flight wasn't till 3-ish, so we just hung out at the mall. it was me, DH, DS4, & DS2 at the time. and they even had these big table lounger thing that our boys sat around and colored their coloring books on! have fun!

Thank you sooooo much! If we have delays and get in late we can just pick up a few things in the airport and if on time we might have an hour or two to check out the Mall!
