There are sometimes some good ones on ebuyer.com.

Or ebay really. Make sure you go with a shop on ebay as a lot sell dodgy lenses or advertise wrong because they don't really know what they're talking about lol.

There are a few around Orlando. There is one in Florida mall and nearly all the sony outlets(in every strip mall it would appear) BUT with the dollar exchange so poor, the difficulty with warranties and the possibly of someday having to pay vat or/and import duty has always kept me from buying these types of goods.

As madmumof2 suggests eBay shops or online retalers would be best.

to be honest, it's not going to save you a huge amount of money buying lenses in the US due to the dollar rate. I purchased a Canon 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS USM lens from Colonial Photo & Hobby when the rate was $2.03 to the £.

If I was buying a lens at the moment I would buy from One Stop Digital (sent from Hong Kong and the guarantee that they refund VAT). I purchased my 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM from them.

If you still want to buy the lens over in Orlando, be careful with the shops on I-Drive - a lot of them seem to be a bit disreputable. I'd recommend colonial, but check their prices before you go !
