Which outlet store should we visit?

[shari2shop]

We will be driving to WDW in June.

I would like to stop at an outlet store to buy mainly Disney t-shirts (kids and ladies) and *CHEAP* trading pins.

Which outlet store would you recommend?? We won't have time to go to several different stores so I'd like to find the one that has tshirts and cheap trading pins in one stop.


Also, is it possible to activate my AP at an outlet store?? (I bought it with the DVC discount, does that matter?)

Thanks

Shari

We were at Belz outlet, Mall 2 yesterday.
I thnk they consistently have the largest selection of pins (at regular price and sale).
But it really is a hit n miss, as is with most outlets.
The Mall 1 store is pretty much the same as the Mall 2 store. And really as is Premier outlet too. I think the Premier store always seems a little more crowded and disorganized though. But still not bad.
One reason we like Mall 2 is because there is a Hard Rock Cafe outlet right across the hall from the Disney store.
But across the walk from the Disney Premier outlet is a Universal store.
Just go with whichever one suits your traveling needs best.

My favorite is the outlet at the Lake Buena Vista Factory Stores on 535. It's selection is more hit and miss than the other outlets, but it's discounts are much deeper.

Check my web page for maps, hours, and directions to all 4 outlets:

We like the one at the Premiere Outlets. It's closer to WDW, and the Coach store is just on the other side of the food court from the Disney outlet.
