Has two Disney outlets one is called Character Wharehouse they are both in the Belz outlets at the end of International drive.

There's another third outlet in an outlet mall near 535 I am sure someone else can supply the name and exact location.

All three have great prices but the supplies are limited.

Go to one of the Beltz or other Disney outlets. They almost always have inexpensive little somethings.

There are all kinds of offsite stores but only the Disney outlets carry items with WDW logos.

The merchandise in most of the other stores will have Florida & Disney characters and other things not WDW specific.

If we just want somewhat generic Disney/Florida souvenirs, we stay away from the actual Disney stores. There are tons of non-Disney giftshops where you can get great prices on Disney t-shirts, beach towels, keychains, books, kids jewelry, etc. Even the Disney outlets can't compete with those prices. As janette mentioned, that stuff won't say Walt Disney World on it, but rathe will say Florida.

If you want Disney World logo stuff, then the outlets are the way to go.

I like Premier Outlet Mall because it's closer than Belz. I think the Disney outlet is still open there. It's only 2 exits from WDW. We like to go there on the day we arrive and have lunch in the food court and then shop in the Disney Outlet. There used to be a Universal outlet, too. Maybe someone else has more info.

It IS NOT A BELZ OUTLET!!

It is located just behind Dixie Stampede, close to Disney, off I-4. VERY close to Disney, and had a very good selection. On the last day of our trip, we went there and I bought some WDW Disney PJ's for myself - paid $19.99- they wanted $39 for PJ's at the Parks!


Here are the directions/address I got from a Yahoo! search:
Orlando Premium Outlets is located at 8200 Vineland Avenue in Orlando, FL.

From I-4 Westbound: Exit 68 (Rte. 535). Left at light onto Route 535, left at next light onto Vineland Ave. at Little Lake Bryan; proceed 1 mile.

From I-4 Eastbound: Exit 68 (old 27). Proceed straight across light at end of ramp onto Vineland Avenue; continue 1 mile.

Ok, I don't remember the name of the store but there is a very inexpensive place across from Wet n Wild. Anything, everything from Disney to generic Florida. I must have spent under $50 and got t-shirts, picture frame, shot glasses, beach towels, post cards.

PartyofSix maybe I'll see you at the outlets! I'll be the one fighting for shoes at the Burberry store. I'm heading to florida tomorrow and there's a huge sale at the premium outlet starting on Friday!

We alsways stop at Wal-Mart and buy some of the disney itesm there - usually post cards, a couple t-shirts, etc. Nice selection at a nice price, they just wont say Walt Disney World, they usually say something like Florida Dreams, with the disney characters, logos, etc.

And I know its cheating, but whenever the DS has a big sale i stock up on little things (mugs, etc) and use those as gifts - most don't know that the stuff from the world itself has its own logo. A little guiltym sure, but it saves $$.

Character Premiere at Sawgrass Mills in South FL, but I believe there is one or two in the Orlando area as well as liveseas2 mentioned.

Last weekend we where in orlando for hhn's and stopped at the fl mall. The disney store was having a HUGE sale. We got t-shirts and a beautiful red eyeore sweatcoat those where 10 bucks each! We did get a jump but still there are teachers and others we want to pick up things for.
