best outlet shopping without a car

helenlovesdestr · 3 May 15, 04:07 PM

we would like to do one outlet mall, logistically that's probably all we would have time for, which one would be best & easiest to get to without a car from wdw, staying at pofq. We don't mind getting a bus or a taxi, but don't want to pay too much. thanks

I think the two closest outlet malls to WDW are the Premium Outlets at Vineland and the Lake Buena Vista outlets. I've only been to the Premium Outlets, which has a Disney store selling past season merchandise for a discount as well as other shops. Either of these should be a short taxi ride away from WDW - taxifarefinder/main.php?city=Orlando is coming up with $24 one way from POFQ to the Premium Outlets (Uber will probably be a lot cheaper).

You can get a cab to Premium Outlets Vineland, it is a much larger outlet than Lake Buena Vista and has most of the shops you would expect, NIKE, Timberland, L'Occitane, Clarins, Nine West, Oakley, Coach, Levi, Fossil, Skechers etc etc. It is a pleasant outlet with a good food hall in the middle of it. The Premium Outlets at the top of I Drive is slightly larger but to be fair both are very good and the Vineland one is a lot closer to you.

Vineland road is very good, but you could also get the bus to the other end of I Drive while you are in the area. I only go to Buena Vista outlets for Vanity Fair, for a great range of undies, including bras. Food hall is terrible there. I suggest you check out the malls sticky spreadsheet, which will show you what shops are where. It will depend what you are likely to buy.

Staying on site the last 2 years I have done the shopping trip with Florida dolphin tours. It covers Walmart, the premium outlets and Florida mall.

I found it great for a non driver and did it on my own last year.

Hi we too are staying in disney CBR without a car and I was thinking of taxi to Vineland outlets but I was wondering would it be worth getting the disney bus to DTD and then getting a taxi rather than directly from hotel or does it not make much difference?

I've been using the Uber estimator to get an idea of the costs. POR to Premium Outlets on International Drive comes in at $14-17, DTD to the same place is $12-17.
