You gotta love Belz Outlets!

[mrsmouse]

WHY pay full price for a WDW or US t-shirt, when you can go to the park outlets in Belz and buy so much more for your money! Especially at the US outlet in Mall One. Everything was 50% off the lowest price. We bought 2 t-shirts, IOA men's boxers($4.50), mug, magnet, and a few other odds and ends (candy or something I think) for $22.00. You can't even buy one t-shirt for that! I was syked up for the Character Warehouse in Mall 2. No extra 50% off here, but good deals just the same. I love my $12.00 WDW: An Amercian Tradition long sleeve tee.

The problem is that now that my husband knows about these stores I'm not able to buy anything I like in the parks... I have to wait to see what we find at the outlets.

I suppose you could strategize either way: go to Belz first and get the shopping out of your system OR save the trip 'til your last day and know what they have in the other stores so you know the prices and merchandise that's out there.

OR GO TWICE! HAVE FUN!

We just got back 4/29... 11 days ago. Seems like 110!

...We just got back on the 28th and it does seem FOREEEEVER ago! I also bought the same "tradition" shirt that you did at the outlet! Isn't it great! I even wore it on the trip home!

For the first time, I am considering going to Disney twice in the year! I didn't get to go last year, due to my sweet little baby girl that was on the way... So, I think that is a reasonable idea! Also, I have ALWAYS wanted to go at Christmas time! So, my girlfriend and I are hoping to take our babies, and leave our dh's at home! (where they will be happiest!! They hate going with us!)

Where are the Belz outlets located in reference to WDW? More specific, CBR? How long to get there? We have a free day when we arrive in July.

We always do our outlet shopping on the day we arrive so we feel safe if we see something in the parks that we're not going to be able to find it later at a better price. It's one of the most exciting parts of our trip! I can hardly wait for 11/10 to get here.

I just got back - we went to Belz last Monday and cleaned up. I just pulled out my receipts. At mall one, got a $59 sweatshirt for $19.99, one that was $48 for $12.99, an AK T-Shirt for $5.99. At mall two, got a GF floral bag that was $45 for $18.99. Then we hit the Premium Mall and got a $48 button up sweater for $14.99 and a $30 flag sweatshirt for $14.99. Also hit the Hanes store next door for great deals on lingerie.

The stores are called Character Premier and Character Warehouse.

They are doing construction on I-4, we drove back on I-Drive and hit the Premium Outlet from there.

Can someone tell me how close these outlets are to Universal Studios? Thanks

Belz is very close to Universal. Instead of getting on I-4, take the bridge over I-4 to get on International Drive (turn left at I-Drive light, it's about a mile down the road). You are looking for Belz Factory Outlets, not Designer Outlets which come first.
