Which of the Disney Character Outlet stores is the best?

[quiltymom]

Hi! We'll be stopping by Orlando on our way home from our upcoming cruise. I'd love to stop at one of the Disney outlet stores, but I see there are three:

• Disney's Character Premiere store, located at the Orlando Premium Outlets
• Disney's Character Warehouse store at Prime Outlets Orlando, Mall 1
• Character Corner store at Lake Buena Vista Factory Stores

The last one has a $5 coupon, too.

Which one should I go to? I won't have time for all three. Oh, and I may be bringing my kids along to get a treat or two.


Thanks in advance!

I like the one at Premium Outlet Mall.

It's really more about the actual mall and location than the stuff in the stores. Often you will find some of the exact same stuff at each store.

To me, the store at Premium Outlet Mall is just nicer, as is the mall, food court, etc.

Ditto. Except I found the selection better at the Premium Outlet Mall.

I used to prefer the Character Warehouse when it was still Belz, but I haven't been in there since they renovated the place (which it really needed).

Last Christmas, I went in the Character Premiere store and really liked it (bought quite a few things - we parked in the parking garage and were pretty close to the store). It's also close to the Character Corner store, so you could probably hit both of them pretty easily.

Is Character Corner on SR 435(?)? If so, skip that one. The other two - definitely go to both! They are both super fun to browse.

Definitely the Character Premier at the Prime Outlets Mall. I agree, the selection is much better.

Premium Outlet Mall hands down!

I like them all. It all depends on what you are looking for. They all seem to have different items and it all depends on who has what when. I never seem to buy things from the same outlet each time. Most recently Lake Buena Vista had the largest supply of shirts.

The last one you mentioned (Lake Buena Vista), has other merchandise besides Disney since it is not Disney operated. If there is something that is a few years old you are looking for you may actually find it. My DD's first trip was in 2006 (9 weeks old) and I never bought her anything with the year on it. This year I found 2006 and 2007 Christmas ornaments for $1!

I as for the other two, I always go to both but tend to make out a little better at Premium vs. Prime.
