Shopping in Orlando

[SMOD]

Hi Guys

Only 4 more weeks to our trip to Orlando, can't wait !!!

There are a few shopaholics in the group who have asked me to find out the best stores/malls to go to . I'm familiar with Belz Factory Outlet but I'm sure there is alot more, we are looking for the good bargains !!!!:wink:

Do you know if there is a home goods or TJ Maxx near I Drive ??

If you have the time i recommend going to the Florida Mall, we visited there for the first time in August and although it can be very crowded its still a really good place for shopping and to get some good bargains.

It's on Sand Lake. It's a huge mall, and has many shops, as well as an Adam's Mark hotel! There are any number of other shops and restaurants in the immediate area too.

One thing to note, if there is a shop in Florida Mall and the new Millenia Mall (Conroy exit off I-4) the prices at the Florida mall will be significantly less! I was pretty surprised when I found that out a couple of months ago. Williams Sonoma was having a sale, and the merchandise was less at the FM because the initial price was less!

TJ Maxx are around somewhere. I'm not really familiar with this store, so not positive where. I'm pretty sure though that they are not in the areas heavily frequented by visitors. There is a Marshall's (similar to T. J. Maxx) across the road from the Millenia Mall, in the new strip mall that has been built. I think there is one up on 50, too, but that is quite a ways from the areas that we are talking about here.

we were in the Florida Mall last year - was amazed at seeing an 'Avon' shop!! Over here, it is only sold through reps and delivered to your door. The prices were about 40% cheaper than over here too:(

Oooohhh my subject ~ SHoppINg!!! :bounce:

Mall at Millenia is a must, if only to drool. I spent $400 in one store alone though so take plenty of money :lol:

Across from the Mall at Millenia is a 'Super Target' with some great bargains!

Premium Outlet has a huge Nike store, Tommy Hilfiger, Ralph Lauren etc. Also a Disney outlet for those gifts you promised to take home. If you have any smaller kids to buy for Osh Kosh clothes are fantastic and about a quarter of the price here in the UK.

Belz has the usual Nike, etc and a TK Maxx on one of the blocks. Walmart is worth checking out too.

Would one of you luverly woman know where all these malls are, as we've never been to most, we've only been to belz, premium outlet @ LBV, and the small place on i drive i think its the mercado so i've no idea where all the others are as DD & DW would love to go to these oh and also been to one on i think its on the 535 not sure though all i know is there is a bose sound studio there, and its an outside mall like most of belz, any ideas?

Alright then we have some real shoppers in the house !!

Does anyone know if there is a HomeGoods near I Drive ??

SMOD

[SMOD]

What about flea markets ?? is there any near I Drive ???

[OKWTink]

I don't know what a Home Goods is. Flea Markets? No. None on International Drive. There is one or two east on 192, but hey are pretty bad from what I've heard. Not ever been myself.

The Flea Markets that "everyone" here goes to are the Daytona Flea Market and the Auburndale Flea Market. Both a ride from the Orlando area.

[sunshine state]

Yeah, there is a flea market on the 192 but not I-Drive, i too have never been there but people have said to me its not bad.
