Character Warehouse Outlets

[polyfor4]

Has anyone been recently to either the Vineland Avenue or International Drive locations?? Looking for reviews. We tried to go last September but ended up at maybe the character outlet? Whatever it was it was located on Vineland Avenue and it was AWFUL. It was tiny and pure junk. I would like to try again but maybe a different location!

Just to be certain,you did go to the Orlando Premium outlets on Vineland avenue,not the the Lake Buena Factory stores on 535 also known as Apopka Vineland rd or Kissimmee Vineland rd.I haven't gone to the store at the Lake Buena Vista factory stores but I've heard what they carry is not actually theme park merchandise so for me it's not even worth a visit.The ones at the Orlando Premium outlets on Vineland Ave and International drive do carry theme park merchandise but I think can be hit and miss,you can go ten times and 4 of them you'll find some good stuff and the other 6 visits nothing worthwhile.I used to have one of those Character warehouse outlets in a mall near my house and I bought tons of good stuff in there by visiting it constantly,sometimes you got stuff and sometimes you walked out with nothing.They have since closed that location in Miami which was a total bummer.

I went to the Disney store at the Orlando Premium Outlets on Vineland Ave two weeks ago & wasn't impressed. The prices were great, but there wasn't anything worth buying! (I actually saw one thing I liked, but it was only available in extra small.) The rest of the outlet mall is great, but I wouldn't make the trip just for the Disney store.

Hope that helps,
Shelli

We went at the end of August and I spent way too much money at the Orlando Premium location. As others have said, it is hit or miss though.

Face it, they are outlet stores. That said, they are hit or miss.

Sometimes I can walk in and walk out with nothing. Other times, I don't have enough money for everything I find.

The stores are totally hit or miss as others have stated.
We have bought items there for $6.99 that were currently selling in the parks for $28.00 before. Ten years ago they had much better stuff.
We can go in and come out with bags and the next trip there is nothing we want. But---one man's trash is another's treasure, so other people are scooping up the bargains on stuff we don't want that day.
We went to the one someone posted above maybe Character Outlet in a small outlet mall across from a Racetrac gas station. It was a total waste of time.
The one on I Drive by the turnpike and the one near the Marriot Village both have theme park merchandise and are often good.
