The Upside is this is convinient to International Dr, so tourist can just hop on a bus or cab and get there within minutes. The bad part is the entire layout. I don't know who designed this place, but even after recent renovations, it is poorly laid out, and dim and miserable inside. The shops are in several different buildings, and to visit all, there is much walking and crossing a VERY busy street. You are much better off heading to the premium outlets.
What to buy: The GAP outlet has good bargains almost all the time.
What to pay: cheaper than a mall.

This is a great Discount Outlet Mall in the heart of Lake Buena Vista. Vanity Fair, Clair's and Old Navy just to name a few. They also have a Diisney Outlet Store that is the best in Orlando and they also offer a free shutlle service from most Lake Buena Vista area hotels.
You can also check in for your domestic or int'l flight (Next to Old Navy) if you are flying out of Orlando Airport. They will even let you weigh your bags and print your boarding pass for free.

Now I'm not a great one for shopping whilst on holiday but the bargains at this place have to be seen to be believed. The exchange rate to GBP was excellent at the time and so there were many bargains to be had. Why bother packing too many clothes when you can buy some new ones at a discount when you get here.
America really likes to shop and they do it so well!
What to buy: I got plenty of shirts and T-shirts in the Timberland store, as well as some sunglasses from the sunglasses hut.

I power shopped within 1 1/2 hours (is all the time I had). I managed to do pretty well. I bought my daughter a sweater from BCBG originally marked at $110 and was on sale for $32. After I checked out at the register, my total was only $17. What a deal!
I bought two pairs of pants and a wrap around top from Ralph Lauren for $145. Not a great savings but the pants - I love them. Bought the same pair in difference colors.
I bought some shoes at Nine West. It's funny that I haven't seen some of the styles in the Nine West stores here in California. So, I bought a pair. Probably saved about $20 but not cheap though. This is a great mall if you are looking for clothes and shoes.
What to buy: Go to the website below and print out a coupon for discounts. I wish I had known this, could have saved even more money!
What to pay: A lot!

Not too many bargains to be found here, even during the time I was there which was tax free week. Only Maidenform, Aerosoles, Hush Puppies, and I think the other place may have been La Perla.
What to buy: dress
shoes
girdles
What to pay: $5-$200

There are several stores in this location. The VF outlet, Old Navy, and Perfume Smart had the best buys. London Fog was good too but it was about to close. Luckily it was tax free week down there when I went as well which was also good.
Many resorts offer free shuttles to this place (there is no bus or tram stop here)
The food at food court is terrible and the other is plain and overpriced.
What to buy: foundations-undergarments for women girdles panty girdles
night gowns
perfume
Everything else in my opinion is not really much of a bargain down there.
What to pay: $10-$19

Premium outlet is always my favortie outlet mall. It's located just minutes from Walt Disney World. You can find a lot more designer brands here AX Exchange, Dior, Diesel, Addidas, Nike.... etc. If you are from a colder place, you can usually find good deal on winter clothing. I bought a Addidas down jacket for USD 23 !! I thought they just marked the wrong price but it is a real marked down.

Orlando gets a bad rap, but it is actually a very cool town if you look beyond the glitz. If you stick to Theme Parks, you are missing the true Orlando. The city itself has a very 'young at heart'...
