I think Sawgrass Mills near Fort Lauderdale is the biggest..but I wouldn't say it was the best.
I'd stick with Florida Mall,Mall at Millenia & Premium Outlets

As far as I remember from the various guides, the Florida Mall has the greatest number of shops.

Broadly speaking, the Orlando area Malls could be summarised as:

1. Florida Mall - Biggest

2. Mall at Millenia - Most "upmarket" and probably most expensive - also nicest to look at!

3. Altamonte Mall - Least "touristy" and most dowdy - although it is in the course of being refurbished.

Hope that helps.

We're going to visit the Aventura Mall in Miami when we get there next month, I'll report back when we've been.

I went there in 1990 and for back then it was quite impressive not sure how it has faired over the past 15 years though. Sawgrass just North near Ft Lauderdale is supposed to be huge!

We went to the Sawgrass Mills Mall in 2002 when we were in Ft Luaderdale and I'm planning a little jaunt again next October - in the interests of Dibb research you understand. At that time it was billed as the largest in Florida. Mostly the same shops as you get in Orlando though from memory and very tiring to walk round. Prefer something a bit more manageable!

There is also Seminole Town Centre near Sandford area, also Fashion Square Mall, not sure where, DH just drives us there, also West Oaks Mall. Hadn't heard of Sawgrass Mills Mall, how far is it from Orlando?
