Is there a difference between the Disney Character Warehouse on International Dr and the one on Vineland??? Is one better? Bigger???

We want to visit one of the Character Warehouses. Is one better that the other?? More stock? Newer items?? TIA

No real difference. Its all about the luck of the draw. Sometimes you see nice merchandise at real bargains. Other times its just more of the same.

The one on International Drive is smaller. You might find something there that is not at Vineland though.

ok thanks. We have never been and have a rental car this trip.

Vineland is bigger. But for the last 3-4 years I have had better luck with finding things of interest, particularly t-shirts and hoodies, at the I-Drive one. If I had to pick only one, I'd probably try the I-Drive one, but we usually manage to visit both of them on a trip (we drive so have a car and know our way around the touristy parts of Orlando).

It’s all hit and miss. I’ve been to the one on International Drive and found nothing but went to Vineland the same day and found tons including a $30 Dooney and Bourke purse and then another time it was vice versa without the purse, that was a once in a lifetime find . I’ve been where there nothing at either. I also haven’t been since vloggers started making it impossible to get in without an extremely long wait and causing everything to be bought by resellers and personal shoppers.

I generally go to the one on Vineland and was happy with the merchandise there. The past few years there was quite a long wait to get in and I think they may use a virtual line but not sure if they still are.

I also wanted to note that recently I watched some video that popped up in my YouTube stream of someone at one of these Orlando outlets and for the past few weeks there have rarely been deals like you used to see. Most of the items were say....a $40 item that was $35. The deals that used to be there seemed to have recently disappeared. Some items were still full price. Here's one example:

but it is not the video I originally watched where the guy was like "last week this was $12.99 and they raised the price to $24.99" etc. There's a few deals but currently not like it was. You may want to hunt up some other YT videos closer to your trip to see if that's changed. That video thought it might be supply issues - he also noted there was no wait to get in the store now (probably cause the prices have gone up so much!).

I think they're both hit or miss and one is not better than the other. We've found some things marked way down that we actually liked at both locations, and there have been other days when we've walked out because we didn't find anything that we actually wanted. Both stores can be picked over, limited on sizes, and items aren't always at a decent discount. It's basically luck.
