Best Malls/Shopping Centers?

[mjaclyn]

My family and I are here in Orlando for a couple of weeks, which means we need to do some of our school shopping here. Can someone recommend a good mall or shopping area to visit? I'm looking for a nice selection of kids stores like Gymboree, Stride Rite, GapKids, Justice, Children's Place, etc. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

You can look up each mall and see the list of stores. For me, Millenium Mall as the most stores that my 11 year old daughter would like. The outlets tend to have very few stores she likes. My daughter does not like Gymboree, Justice, Old Navy, Gap, and some of the other popular stores among the younger girls, so look specifically at the list of stores in the mall before visiting.

Millenia mall is great! Lots of kids stores! We live close by, and it is very nice there.

Try the Florida Mall

As a local, I prefer the Florida Mall as it has a better variety of stores for the entire family.
