Best Shopping Malls

[jon_burrows]

Hi, I'm trying to decide which shopping malls we should visit, so which shopping mall is your favourite and why? Which shops are in which mall etc.?

Thanks in advance.

It kinda depends what mood I'm in...... I suppose I'd say the Florida Mall is my fave because there's such a variety of shops in there.

However, I do love the mall at millenia too... bit more luxurious, some more up market shops and an apple store for me :) but very expensive..

My personal least favourite is the premium outlet mall. Very close to Disney sure, but just a bargain label clothes outlet basically which just totally bores me.

I agree 100% with Keith, Florida Mall 1st for choice, Mall at Millennia 2nd for those extravagant purchases I didn't really need :D

Premium outlets tends to have less choice IMO because everyone flocks there.

Florida Mall for me every time. Great variety and cheap and cheerful food hall.
This site might help you find out which Mall has which stores.
Happy shoppinghttp://www.wdisneyw.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

I also am not a fan of Premium. If you want a 'proper' mall, the Florida mall is the bets IMHO, however, I like Beltz also....purely for Gap and Nike :)

we tend to goto belz, and last year went to the florida mall for the first time and was really suprised how good it was, i think because it must be for floridians and not aimed at the tourist like belz and the premier outlets, which i dont think is that cheap or very good either, but belz i like a lot, we go there every visit :D

happy shopping micky

What sorts of things are you after? For Designer stuff I'd recommend Premium Outlets, got some great FCUK stuff from there. Florida Mall is great to walk around and has some great shops. And I'd recommend giving Festival Bay and Pointe Orlando a miss, both were terrible.

Thanks guys looks like we're going to Florida Mall.

We liked the Premium Outlet - but we are not as experienced as the others, it was our first visit. We thought the prices were great, especially for trainers and jeans.

Florida Mall is my favourite cos I like to visit the nearby Toys R Us aswell =] Mall at Millennia was great too, visit that if only for the Cheesecake Factory!!
Beltz isn't bad but we only spent a couple of hours there this trip as there aren't many places there we're interested in.

I like Beltz, probably because it was the first one that we went to so we always visit on each trip.

I guess the Florida Mall has something for everyone - clothes shops for me, Gadget shops for DH and toy shops for the kids so we are all happy to go there http://www.wdisneyw.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

I also like the Factory Outlets at Lake Buena Vista for the Old Navy outlet (where you can get a coupon to get an extra 10% off purchases over $75) :thumbs:

Has anybody tried the mall called Eagle Pointe. I'm not sure where it is and believe its about 20 mins drive from Orlando. It has a cinema complex and bowling. Just wondering if other than the cinema and bowling does it have anything further to offer.

Florida Mall - Cos it has Disney Store. Champs for Trainiers - JC Penny, Sears & Macys

Millennia - Macys & Bloomingdales

Don't mind the outlets...but the can get quite busy, the price comparison with the malls and outlets is not to much in it, if the stores in the malls have a sale.....

BTW - Macys offer 11% discount for international visitors on sale items too...

[plutomad]

On the map - the florida mall is "near"dtd marketplace - is it within walking distance or can i get a cab from dtd???

[Keith]

wow what map? the florida mall is NOWHERE near the dtd marketplace. A Cab will cost about $35/40 each way

My Favourite has to be the Florida Mall, we went there for the first time a couple of years ago and thought it was brilliant, theres all sorts of different shops there. I would'nt really say i dislike any of the places, premium outlets has some good shops i.e - Burberry, Lacoste, FCUK and many more.

I Love the Florida Mall . It's Johnie's fault that got me there. She told me about the Build A Bear shop that had Disney outfits . I Love my little guy . I actually built a Lion/ The Beast . :D Thanks again, Johnie ! I might just go back and do a Tinkerbear ! :wink: :lol:

We just went to Florida Mall during our trip. That place is huge. I have never seen a mall with a hotel, and I live in a big city. Our main purpose was because they have a specialty makeup store (Bare Minerals) that my wife uses that is not available in our hometown.

We got a taxi from our hotel on I-drive.. Only cost $10 + tip each way which was pretty reasonable I thought. The Super Target is nearby (not that easy to walk to since the area isn't all that pedestrianised but we managed it)

We got the I Ride to Belz and then a bus, not sure which number. Only took 10 minutes.

Didn't find much good shopping going on there, but loved the Cheesecake Factory!
