Where can I buy discounted disney items?

Where are the discounted stores to buy discounted disney items. I've heard of two places near Disney World that have great prices but can't even remember the names. Can anyone help me with the names and maybe even directions? Thanks

you can find discounted disney stuff at a store called "character preimere ". they have one at the orlando premium outlets right near disney and theres on at the BELZ outlets in st. augustine.

Check out the Wal-mart in Kissimmee(sp). We just got back from WDW a week ago and we bought a lot of our t-shirts at Wal-mart. I got some for $5.00. If you want Mickey rain ponchos they had them for $2.99.

There are four Disney outlets in Orlando. I think you can find directions to all four at www.allearsnet.com. There are two at the Belz outlet mall, one at the Premium Oulet Mall off of 535 (can see from I-4), and one at the Lake Buena Vista factory stores off of 535.

My personal favorite is the one at the Premium Outlets. The store is much nicer, and they have more current items (IMHO). The outlets are hit or miss for souvenirs. I have seen some great deals. Most of the items there are either out-dated (i.e. 2004 Memorial Day t-shirts, when the holiday has past) or old (a hat with a previous version of a resort logo).

These outlets are "official" WDW merchandise. There is also a "WDW Store" at the Crossroad shopping Center near DTD (as well as the Orlando airport), but the prices are not discounted.

WDW used to never have "sales" on their merchandise - they would send them all to the outlets or the cast store, but I am finding that they are now running sales in the parks and at DTD.

If you want less expensive general Disney merchandise (not park related), check out Walmart (as previsouly suggested) or any number of the "tourist" stores for Mickey t-shirts. They have a ton of stuff.

The Belz Outlet in Orlando is a waste of time. We went to both the Disney and Universal and alot of the stuff is from the previous year - 2003! Not worth the trip or hassle with traffice on I-Drive!!!
