[RenaissanceChef]

Which Outlet do you prefer?
We went to the Prime Outlets last weekend, INCREDIBLE deals on Disney Clothing, Mens wear was a great Bargin.I purchased a Disney BeachClub Hooded Sweatjacket, normal price 40$ clearance price 17$ a 36$ polo with a mickey on it was 15$ all in all I bought 5 shirts for 60$

We have not been to the Premium Outlets as of yet, anyone been there? any difference between the two?

I thought the outlets closest to WDW were Premier Outlet Mall. I may be wrong , but I, too, was wondering if they're still there and if anyone had been there recently. Bump?

The Orlando Premium Outlets mall is the closest Disney outlet to WDW, and is the most popular.

The next closest is the Lake Buena Vista Factory Stores location; this Disney outlet is not actually owned by Disney, as the others are, so it is not as nice inside, and has a mix of non-Disney merchandise. Some people have gone there and disliked it because it looks more like a warehouse club than a Disney store, and the stock is much more hit-and-miss than the Disney-owned outlets. However, it is my favorite, because when it does have good stuff, the prices are always marked down much further than at the other outlets. I have gotten $40 sweatshirts for $9 there, includig tax.

The Prime One Outlets, formerly known as Belz, are in the throes of a major reconstruction. One of the two mall buildings has been razed, so one of the two Disney outlets there is gone. The other building is partially empty, but the Disney outlet there is still open. But because of the construction, and this mall's location much farther away from Disney than the others, I recommend that people skip it unless they are going to be in the neighborhood anyway for a Universal trip.

Thanks to the OP and the above poster for such clear information. I'll be stopping at the Orlando Premium Outlet Mall. The former Belz was much too confusing for me.

I wonder if somebody had made a price comparison between Prime and Premium outlets. I'm scheduling a visit to Premium but I'm worried about missing some good deal if I don't visit Prime

Each outlet has slightly different stuff, so the truth is that unless you visit them all, you will miss out on something. But how much you miss out on, and whether it's worth the extra trip up to the Prime One outlet, is difficult to predict, because each store gets new stock on a weekly basis.

Thanks for the Info. I was told by a friend about these outlets
but he couldn't remember the names. Everyone is great here.
Being our first trip there is so much to be learned. Thanks again.
