Which mall would you go to?

[Little Miss Liberty]

For all you who have gone shopping near Walt Disney World, which mall did you find better? The Florida Mall or Mall at Millenia? I want to do some shopping in February and was wondering if it was worth it and if anyone new of the differences in the malls?

Hi

We really like the Milenia Mall...It seems to be newer and a little more high class. The Florida mall is ok too it just seems kind of dark to me. If you go to Milenia, usually hotels have coupons for a free gift (its a nice tote bag)

My buddy who lives in Orlando suggests the Millenia Mall. We plan to go to it next trip

 

[Little Miss Liberty]

I've just read about the big outlet malls, anyone think they had good deals?

I've never been to Millenia.
If you enjoy high end clothes & accessories at high end price, then indulge.
It's basically, Dior Chanel and some other high end stuff.

Florida Mall has your everyday mall stores from the US.

We love Mall at Millenia because they have some high end stores there that we don't have here in Halifax. I wouldn't say you'd get a deal, unless your shopping at some of the department stores and they have a sale on. For deals, we go to the outlets and sometimes find stuff we like (even then, they're not "real" outlets).

My daughter was a CM at WDW for the summer and got us hooked on the Premium Outlets which are really close to Disney. We got some great deals and there is a large selection of stores. We also really enjoyed Mall of Millenia but it is much higher end.

We love the Mall at Millenia. If you take your time you can find some nice deals at the high end stores. Macy's is my favourite department store in the US. I love their take 50% off of our already reduced 50% off!!!

This mall is great. I've always had good luck. And it's so close to WDW. Although the Mall at Millenia is gorgeous unless you regularly shop at those higher end stores I wouldn't bother. It has Dior, Niemen Marcus, Gucci etc. For your basic JC Penney, Victorias Secret etc go to Florida Mall.

We have had really good luck at the Premium Outlet Mall which is very close to WDW. They have a great Nike Outlet, Liz Claiborne and so many others. They have a website with a complete listing. You can't go wrong and it's very close.

Been to all three listed but keep going back to Premium Outlet Mall (used to be Belz outlet mall).
Unless there is something we are specifically looking for (Victoria's Secret for instance) that they don't have at outlet mall we always go to The outlet mall first.

 

[Scratch42]

Prime Outlets (used to be Beltz and there is only one mall as the other has been flattened to build a new one) One Disney Outlet where you can find some great deals! Especially on the 50th merchandise right now!

Premium Outlet Mall, which is the closest to DTD. One Disney Outlet and the rest of the stores are outlets for major stores.

Florida Mall - New M&M's Store! and your basic other stores.........

Have yet to make it over to Millenium.

Much to my DH's chagrin... we usually go to all the malls ... outlet and regular malls. Plus a drugstore and a grocery store.

As far as outlet malls we prefer the Premium Outlet mall (but we also like the Prime outlet mall.)

For the regular malls it's really one of those things where it depends what you're shopping for. Millenia is definitely higher end but the two malls do have some of the same stores. Millenia is where we'd go if I had to choose only one.

Definitely go to the mall websites (mallatmillenia.com, premiumoutlets.com, simon.com (the Florida Mall is owned by Simon), primeoutlets.com) to see the listing of stores in each. For the Premium outlet mall they have a VIP club where you can register online (it's free) and they send you info about sales and some additional savings for VIP members. I think they have something similar for the Prime outlet malls.

We never hit the Malls we just to to BELZ and the Florida premium outlets. No time to do that and hit malls other than we have planned and it isn't going to be the Florida Mall or Millenia lol.

Another big fan of Orlando Premium Outlet Mall, here!

It's located on Vineland, practically opposite Crossroads on the other side of the I 4. I love the atmosphere of this outlet mall!

How much would a taxi cost to the Orlando Premium Outlet Mall, from Downtown Disney?

I would say about 6 or 7 dollars max.
