Disney Outlet Stores?

[MomLC]

I was speaking with my cousin the other day and she mentioned that she shopped at a place called Bell's Outlet where they have alot of Disney merchandise for about half the cost as on the grounds. The store is located outside of WDW and I am hoping someone here knows the exact name and location of this store or any other stores that sell Disney merchandise for less. Thanks for any info.

I believe it is called the Beltz Outlets. We have gone twice. Takes about (?) 20 minutes to get there. We loved it and found some great deals. I know there is an outlet closer, character outlet (?) when I went into that one I was not impressed. I would post this over on the Budget Boards as well. Goodluck!

Here's the link for a list of stores, and the location of the outlet:

There are two Disney outlets at Belz -- Character Warehouse and Character Premiere. When we went in 1997, I found major deals at Character Warehouse but when we went in 2003, there wasn't much. It's kind of hit and miss. Some items are deep-discounted, and others are the same as in the park. I preffered the Character Warehouse but they're in walking distance to each other if you want to try both.

There's also a Character Premiere at Orlando Premium Outlet Mall (?not sure of name?) which is slightly closer to WDW and has apparently a good selction, but I haven't tried that one yet.

I too tried the Character Outlet mentioned in the previous post, and it was horrible. They only had stock that was years old. This outlet is not run by Disney -- the others above are.
