My 19 year old son loves the Premium Outlets (the Vineland location would be closest to where you are staying) and the Nike Clearance Store in Kissimmee.

Both would be closer to Disney and Bonnet Creek than the Florida Mall (which also offers a good selection of teen-friendly stores, but its really just your typical mall....the bargains are much better at the outlets, in our experience).

Another thing I meant to mention....there is a great restaurant at the Premium Outlets on Vineland that your teen boys might love (my DS and his GF thought it was fantastic). Assuming they're not shy and enjoy a good dollop of sarcasm with their meal, its a lot of fun: http://www.dickslastresort.com/ . The food is excellent, too. I think it has more of a "bar" vibe later in the night, but we went for lunch and it was a ton of fun.

For teen boys, I would go to the mall. The outlets stores are typically geared more for women. I live in Tampa and shop at the Orlando outlets if I want to make a quick stop while in town for a cheer competition. I will; however, drive to the Orlando mall for a shopping day. Really the prices are not any better than the mall and for my teenagers, the mall stores are more appealing to them. Take a look at the list of stores and then make your decision based on the stores your kids like to shop at.
