Shopping Mall/Stores: Best Inside Xmas Decorations, best Santa Claus Areas?

[seema]

I am wondering which shopping malls, or major stores, or lobbies of hotels, or other attractions, in the Orlando/central Florida area, offer the best (esp inside) Xmas attractions, and the best settings where Santa Claus can be found (and photographed with children)?

There is a new mall on Conroy road (exit 74 or somewhere around there) called Mall at Millennia. It is mostly upper scale shops. Their Santa Claus area is very nice.

Disney's Wilderness Lodge, Grand Floridian, Boardwalk Inn, Beach Club and the Dolphin all have beautiful lobbys that are decorated to the max!
The Santa at DTD is very nice. The Santa at Beltz is very scary (no kidding).

I've not yet checked out the lobby of any off site hotel. Will be going to the Gaylord Palms later in the season.

The new mall is beautiful, it is definitely worth the trip and is conveniently located off I-4 they have an old fashioned Santa quite nice!!

Universal Orlando is also exhibiting the Macy's Holiday Parade, balloons floats and all. It is free with park admission.

The atrium at Gaylord Palms is really nice and Sea World is doing a Norman Rockwell event.
