Hi All,

As always my wife likes to spend abit of money on shopping while we are in the states. :(
She is wanting me to take her to the Florida Mall to do abit of retail shopping, but I know there are other newer malls about, and I am unsure as to which would be the best one, sorry cheapest one on my wallet to take her too?

She is into all the designer makeup stuff, and normal clothes.
We will be heading the Orlando Premium outlets aswell. (Tag shop for me).

Any ideas would be great, thanks in advance.

You are already going to the 2 best Malls in Orlando, another is the Mall of Millenia but this wont be very good for your wallet

We loved Florida Mall we went there a few times. We did Mall at Millenia on our last day and I would agree with Nikki'Andrew it was a little more expensive and looked quite Posh. We enjoyed the outlets too.

Two best malls for me are the Premium Outlets and the newly built Prime Outlets (old Beltz mall). Had my first chance to go to Prime Outlets last October, only Prime 1 was complete and there was still a lot of construction going on but I thought it was absolutely brilliant.

It's now open air similar to the Premium Outlets design and am looking forward to going back with my wallet this April.

My favourite is the premium outlets.
We found even the same shops cheaper there than the Florida Mall, Sketchers for example.

Florida mall is good for the bigger department stores, Apple shop etc

OK, so I want to do the minimum amount of shopping but would like to get some crocs, some jeans (both for the kids) and some craft bits for me - where is the best place to head?

You couldn't get crocs at the outlets last July.
We could get the size/colour in the Florida Mall.
We ended getting them at the airport on the way home.
If it's a absolute minimum shop maybe do this.

I'd still consider giving the outlets and Florida Mall half a day each as a minimum.

See the links above to see the shops there.

The Mall at Milenia is our favourite, it is fabulous there. Your wife will be extremely happy, but your wallet won`t!! ;-)
