went to two of the outlets last week

I was lucky enough to manage to get to two of the outlets near WDW.
The first one I had our YourRide driver Jim take us to Character Corner for our half hour stop.
They had some good deals. I picked up a nice few t-shirts (I would probably have bought and paid full price for in the parks if they still had them). One was $10. Another was $4 (with the Cheshire Cat)!
Bought a few small items too -- like ticket holders for 35 cents. DH bought a dress shirt for $20.
Someone was nice enough to drive us to the Orlando Premium Outlet. Much LARGER and much nicer store than Character Corner! It even had some of the same shirts for the same price that I had bought at Character Corner.
A lot more selection. Although, they had quite a few items for the same price as sold in the parks. So just because it's there, doesn't mean it is cheaper.
But I was very happy with both. But the Character Premier store moved into my my favorite WDW outlet slot!

I am looking for drawer pulls that they used to have at the Downtown Disney store. They sre brass or silver charator heads, anyone see them?

Thanks Tigger

Thanks for the info.! I haven't been to any of the outlets and look forward to doing at least one in March. Nice to hear others opinions on which ones to try.

Thanks.

At Belz Outlet Mall there are 2 outlets: Character Connection and Character Premier. Always hit or miss on the product selection and price.

Does anyone know if you can use Disney dollars at the Disney outlet stores?

Just a heads up for the Disney outlet store shopper. At the outlets you have to buy boxes. Not too expensive at something like 49 cents, but if you take your outlet receipts to downtown disney they will give you the boxes for free.
