Character Outlets?

[Alice28]

I have read so many times about the Disney outlets on these boards, and what great bargains some of you got. I think we will have time on our SeaWorld day to stop by...I looked on Deb's site, and it looks like there are 3 character type outlets- any opinions on which is the best and has the biggest selection? I want to try and get some Christmas shopping done this trip & have lots of little kids to buy for---cheap and cute would be great!

We have been to all of them and I think I like the ones at the beltz outlet malls the best. I am not giving very good info because I don't have the links, but there are 2 different ones in 2 of the different buildings. One of the buildings also has a Universal Shop which is where I found really great bargain the last 2 times we visited.

Hi..we always hit Character Corner where they stock discontinued Disney merchandise for great prices...It is located in the Lake Buena Vista Shopping Mall on Apopka Vineland (535) straight south of Lake Buena Vista entrance to Disney. It is about 2-3 miles south on the left. It is a medium size mall and Character Corner is right in the middle, easy to find if you look around...Enjoy...we have found great deals on golf shirts, T-shirts, jackets, hats, and lots of Disney stuff.....Ted

I always hit all three because you never know....
I go to the Belz outlet on my first day either as I am passing it on my wasy to WDW if I drive, or driving to it from the airport.
I then stop at the one not far from DTD a few times during the week when I have time, either during a rain storm or if the family wants to rest at the resort.
I stop at the Belz again on my way home or to the airport.
They get new merchandise almost daily so you will see alot of new stuff each time.
The Belz outlets are larger than the Character Premier in the Florida Premier Outlet mall but I find nicer clothing in the FPOM site.
I bought the USA tank top and flag style shortie PJ's for $12.99 and the knee length sleep shirt for my pool shirt for $7.99. They were still at the parks for $32 and $28 respectivly.
I found some floating Mickey head candles that are $150 each in the parks and paid $.25 each for them at the outlets. They looked so nice floating in my pool when I had a party and it was too cool to swim.
I also buy alot of my snowglobes at the outlets. I have never walked out of the outlet without something in my bag. Peggie
