Orlando Premium vs Sawgrass Mills

We're only in Orlando for 3 nights before we head down to Miami and the Keys. Wondering whether to make some time to go to Premium Outlets or whether to wait and go to Sawgrass Mills on the way into Miami anyone got any experience if both? Thanks

Sawgrass is massive and you can easily spend hours there. You may find different things at both (even though same chains) we’ve visited both on the same trips as stayed in Fort Lauderdale and Orlando and picked up different stuff in both.

If you have the time (and enjoy shopping) I’d do both.

We went to saw grass last year it’s huge, they day we went it was heaving, I think it must have been a weekend if I remember correctly. If you have time go to the premiums but if you have only three days in Orlando I would probably just do sawgrass. Lots more to do in Orlando in those days

We've done both. Price wise I'd say the premium outlets has the edge, not all the stores in Sawgrass are outlet prices, however it depends what you are looking for really, as Toonarmani said, I'd do both too but then shopping is a big part of my holidays.

They are very different.
Premium is all outdoors, sawgrass has a mix and it’s massive. I did find it slightly odd that there was regular shops next to outlets.
The new part is lovely, the older parts do look a little dated.
I don’t normally get lost anywhere and went to wrong way twice at sawgrass!

If you have time I’d go to both.
