Belz best souvenir bargains

[challada]

We just got back from WDW and have to say that the tour books don't emphasize enough the great souvenir bargains at Belz outlet and LakeBuenaVista Outlet. Belz has both a Disney and Universal Outlet that has THE SAME STUFF as in the park (and some of last year's stuff) at 50-75% off. I bought $100 worth of clothes at Universal Studios only to find the exact same stuff at the outlet at 50% off-ARG!!! Disney had the diecast rides, books, beanies, and LOTS of tshirts and costumes. the Disney at LBV had lots of polo shirts cheaper than the Disney at Belz. Well worth the trip either way!

I really liked the Lake Buena Vista Factory outlet stores. I found stuff there that I didn't see at Belz or was a whole lot cheaper!! And they are so close to WDW!!

We drive to WDW and always stop at all th eoutlets before hitting the parks. I can only imagine how much $ we save, not only on actual merchandise, but since we have most of our souviners before we even get to the psrks it really helps from buying too much at WDW.

Can anyone tell me where the Lake Buena Vista Outlet mall is located? Is there a link to directions or something? Thanks!

What is the name of the Universal outlet store and where EXACTLY is it located? I'm planning on going to Belz Mall, so is it located there? Thanks for any help. Gerri

OK- let me answer the couple of questions. Lake Beuena Vista Outlet is located right on 535 after you exit the park that direction. It's a little before the Pointcena intersection if that helps. Disney Store backs to the main road so when you go in look for the Gap outlet and it's nextdoor.
The universal outlet is in the Belz complex, but not in the same building as Disney. Disney is in the mall part with the carousel (faces the carousel) and Universal is in the other large mall facility (you can walk there across a small bridge from the first mall). It's about the 5th store down from entrance #2 I believe.
Hope that helps all!

Both sites have directions and store directories

Hope this helps...

Thanks for posting the links. Belz map is hard to follow and printed one is outdated, but look for the 2 malls (with interior corridors) on the left side when you drive up International Drive and those have the 2 outlets in them.
