Hi I reckon if u make a shopping list before leaving it will save u time, u could shop forever or until the plastic melts,but if u know what u are looking for then u can hit walmart for the essentials an the outlets for those brand names, u can find out an idea of prices by checking out walmart online:beer:

Personally, unless you know what shops you want to hit, if you are going for 2 weeks then maybe longer 3 afternoons.

I think walmart is over rated, the clothes are not very good. Belz is the same (this is my opinion, I know lots of people love them and they are worth a look)

The larger department stores are the best look in individual concessions at the sale rails, there are bargains to be had.

Target can be ok for Jeans

A couple of afternoons should be enough, we did not plan shopping trips as such. Some days the kids where too tired to go round the parks or the weather was bad, so we hit the malls then:wink :wink :wink

I would highly recommend Florida Mall for Old Navy, when we introduced my SIL to it we couldn't get her out!, and when we go back she always says check out Old Navy for the boys.
You could do the mall in an afternoon/evening. I also like Millenia for a mall but as outlets go you cant beat premium outlets of I4.
As a first timer you need to do walmart, MIL was quite happy spending her time going to Walmart.

Have a great time

Flordia mall is good for JC Penneys and other stores plenty of variety, also about 5 mins taxi from walmart, also at that walmart u have Beals dept store next door which is good as well, closer to the beltz u have Ross store and TJ Max which offer designer gear at very good prices, Walmart have wrangler jeans for guys at great prices $16, girls/women levis at $16 as well:beer:

Dont forget the Premium Outlets - the one at Lake Buena Vista is superb - Ralph Lauren, Timberland, Nike, Adidas, Tommy, Banana Republic, Disney & Unviersal surplus store, Armani etc etc. Much much better than Belz (although we go to Belz for DKNY!!). Bed Bath and Beyond is also worth a look at Belz - both these shops are on the 'outer arms' of Belz rather than in the main section.

My ds likes Quiksilver & Levi's-their jeans are cheap at J C Penneys in Florida Mall. Dillards also have some bargains. Spend a day in Florida Mall with mum whilst the family normally visit the Space Centre. Had to buy a suitcase with wheels from the Mall last time as I could not carry everthing. It just depends on what sort of clothes the children want.

I bought jeans from Gap in Beltz, they were about $20-$25 I think. We also liked the department stores, you can usually find the best bargains in these. We also bought loads from Ralph Lauren too, if you spent so much you got $50 off and we did!

Timberland is always good too and Abercrombie and Fitch.
