Advice re smaller shopping centres/ areas

Hi, came across a thread where someone had been to the nike outlet on old vineland road...looking further into this I noticed it is beside a converse outlet and a dollar tree etc. We wont be driving...we will be going to one of the main outlets but is there anywhere else you guys recommend that we can get an uber to from disney that has a few shops clustered together? Thanks!

Lake Buena Vista Factory Outlets, not too far from Disney and a selection of stores.

If using Lake Buena Vista Factory Outlets remember to ask for their current discount leaflet. Most stores have up to 30% off if you spend up to a certain amount.
I like the range of shops there. Guess, Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, Osh Kosh b'Gosh, Carters for Kids, Timberland, Old Navy, 2 trainers outlets (maybe Reebok & Nike), Converse, a small Disney Character shop and lots of others but it is all achievable in a 2 hour visit. Location wise it is much closer to Disney than the Old Vineland Rd outlets. (Although I can't resist a visit there just to see what there is - but we drive)
The other Premium Outlets are a short journey away from LBV but they are much more sprawling and take longer to get around.
The other large shopping area is the Loop. Admittedly further away but LOTS of shops. I went on advice from the DIBB last year and got a pair of Sketchers Go Walks 4 for $18 as well as a pair of sandals for half price. I did not have the time to do it justice - but going again this week so planning a half day visit!

That's one of my favourites.

The Loop is another of my favourites. It's not 'outlet' shopping but there's a good range of shops, plus a Ben & Jerry's ice-cream parlour.

LBV is poor in comparison to the premium ones.

I go just for the baby/kids clothes stores which are great, but otherwise I'm not a fan.

We have 5 and 3 year old and all I got was a bargain 'Secret life of Pets' t-shirt for the wee one in the theme park shop.
