There are two - the closest is the Orlando Premium Outlets on Vineland. There is a Character Warehouse and a bunch of other stores. There is a website - google "Orlando Premium Outlets" for a list of stores and sales. Whether it is worth it depends on what you are looking for and if you want to shop. We always rent a car so we make a quick stop just for the character outlet or if we forgot something but parking can be a nightmare.

The other is on I-drive some of the same stores - again, it depends on how much shopping you want to do whether it is worth it to you. I have outlets near me at home so I don't usually bother with more than just the Disney Outlet. It is very hit or miss.

We had some time our last day due to a late flight so we went to the Vineland ones to check out the character store. It had some great deals but nothing we wanted. Besides that we got a treat at Mrs Fields/Auntie Ann's and then headed to the airport. We have some major outlets nearby at home so we did not feel the need to check out anything else. I was glad to go to the character warehouse just so we could see it but not sure we will need to go back anytime again. I think we may have stayed about 30 minutes or so.

thank you, I was mostly thinking of Disney merchandise, if anything. I appreciate your responses!

You're welcome. I usually find a couple of things each time - I got limited mouse ears the year after they were in the parks - I was happy because I regretted not getting them in the park when I had the chance. I ended up buying them for 1/2. Score!

If you go have fun!

We live in the UK so dont have any outlets or as good a Disney store so for us the outlets are a must!! We always spend far too much there!!
