I can't remember where I saw it, but I saw that there were 3 oulets in the Orlando area that sold Disney Merchandise. Can anyone tell me where they are??
Here's a link to Premium Outlet Malls, the closest one to Disney:
It's a $12.00 taxi ride from Downtown Disney. The store name is Disney's Character Premiere.
The Belz malls are about a 25 minute drive from WDW. There are 2 different stores there. Some of the merchandise is the same, but not all of it. We spent lots of money there last month, they are awesome!!
They are in the Belz factory outlet and in mall 1 and 2 - Mall 1's Disney Outlet is called Character Premiere and Mall 2's Disney outlet is called Character Warehouse. See the 2 links below for directions and info.
The two in Belz (Mall 1 & 2)
Premium Outlet Mall
Character Corner -- LBV Outlet. Closest to WDW, but also the least impressive. But still worth a look. (I Dr S, take a right and it's just down 535 on the left.)
I was in the Character Corner at LBV Factory Stores last week (and the 2 at Belz, too!). They had all their Christmas stuff on deep, deep discount! I wanted the Grumpy Chrismas shirt, but they only had S & M, no L. They ahd it in a swartshirt, but I didn't want a sweatshirt . That store is more of a clearance type place than the others.
I picked up a cool AK coffee cup w/ my name on the handle at the store in Mall 1 at Belz for $3! They had the screaming ToT picture frames for cheap, too. It was all I could do to keep from buying the big box of Disney Chocolates! I think the reg price is $16, and they had them for $6. Yum!!! Most of the other food items were regular park prices, though.
If you have a car, it is well worth it to go to the Belz outlet!!! We find it to have the most merchandise. We also spent alot of money there last month!
