Our family will be visiting the Orlando area next month and I am looking for some good shopping while we're there - our two daughters want to pick up some shorts, shoes, dresses, etc. and I just want somewhere with a good selection of stores and decent prices. I know there was a thread on this awhile back but I searched for it and didn't have any luck finding it. Any suggestions from DIS board shoppers?

Thanks very much in advance,

Although not the fanciest place, we like the lake buena vista outlet mall on 535 as the prices are lower.
 
Be sure to get a free Magicard from the Tourist Office on International Drive. This entitles you to discount coupons at some of the outlet malls.
Always visit guest relations offices of all the malls regardless of whether they honor the Magicard or not because they all have additional coupons that can save you quite a bit of money.


Orlando Premium Outlets - (just across from Crossroads near Lake Buena Vista)
Magicard coupons from info booth in food court.
8200 Vineland Avenue
Mon-Sat 10am-11pm, Sun 10am-9pm

This one is closest to Disney parks and the Bass store there has many clothing items as opposed to the Bass stores in the other outlets that carry mainly shoes and luggage.



Prime Outlets International (formerly Belz)
4951 International Drive
(407) 352-9600
Monday - Saturday, 10:00 am to 11:00 pm
Sunday, 10:00 am to 9:00 pm

This is the huge monster outlet in Orlando. While all the outlet malls have more or less the same shops (though merchandise does vary) because of its size this one has shops (eg. Columbia, The North Face) that do not have branches in the other malls.

There's also a Ross store nearby which offers great bargains if you have the time to wade through their merchandise. Check out the luggage section which always looks as though a hurricane passed through it as a result of people (mostly Europeans) looking for extremely well-priced bags with which to fill their outlet purchases!



Lake Buena Vista Factory Stores
Magicard coupons from Disney Character Outlet.
15591 Apopka-Vineland Rd.
15657 Florida State Road 535 near where it intersects with World Center Dr.? (http://www.lbvfs.com/), (407) 238-9301
Monday-Saturday:10:00 am-9:30pm, Sunday:10:00 am-6:00 pm

Not as highly regarded as the other outlet malls but I quite like it.


That should get you started.......::yes::
 
Thanks very much to you both - we'll definitely head to these places during our trip!
