Hi Everyone !

I was reading another thread and the OP mentioned something about premium outlets, how far away are they and do they have the same merch. as the parks but at a cheaper price ?

We went down in Aug. and hit all the outlets we could find that were Disney, there are 2 or 3 right by the Universal area basically at the end of International Drive they dont have the same name but both are Disney stores, I have to say I made out at both of them they each have some different stuff than the other but both had cool stuff - I loved a sweatshirt I saw in the America section at Epcot with a big WDW in red, white & blue - I found it at the outlets for half price!! I snatched it up my husband found a windjacket for running there too, they had stuff that was in the parks and some older stuff but either way - good stuff. Worth the trip, you have to get a map of the malls to see where they are.

Do they ever have cheap pins?

Do they ever have cheap pins?

When I was there in November they had a section of pins (about three to four big boards worth) and about 20% of those were on sale. You had to look at the back of each pin to see if it had a red clearance sticker. I found the castle series (the castles of each park) for $2.99 each. I think it just depends on how you hit it.

For the most part the prices were very good for the merchandise in the stores, but they did manage to have a few "non-clearancec" priced items that would throw me off! (for example music cds They had an EPCOT music cd for $18.99, and I asked, not on sale)

And if you are looking for bargains - don't forget the Under $10 Disney Store in downtown Disney. They had a big section of 4 for $10 -- and I later saw many of those items at the outlets for more! (Example - scrapbook paper $2.50 in Downtown Disney, $6.99 at the outlet, $15 original) I don't remember pins there but they did have a lot of toys, ornaments, stuffed figures, hats, etc. Not much in clothes.

Have fun shopping!
