It is on Osceola Parkway - heading in the direction of Disney.

The Loop is at the junction of Osceola Parkway (522) and John Young Parkway (525), north east of Kissimmee. Here's the link:

It's an outdoor layout similar to Premium Outlets (although not an outlet mall). When I was there in December JC Penneys had just opened in the Loop West area (it's just further into the parking area behind the Loop shops. I was also in Bed, Bath & Beyond and Michaels. Hadn't got the energy to do any more shops! They have a cinema complex there too. I liked it, quieter and not as frantic as some of the malls.

Aye, it's spread out over a large area which means it's far less crowded than somewhere like the Florida Mall. However, I'd only go there if you had the time for an extra shopping trip. if you only have one shopping trip planned I'd make that TFM as its got just about everything under one (beautifully air conditioned!) roof.
