August 2013 - Aliens to Florida Trip Report

[Alien]

One thing I would do differently is not book advance reservations for food. The parks are fun and it felt silly to leave them to eat, when we are not ready for average food.

Shopping - near Millennia Mall there is store called Nordstrom Rack. It's much cheaper even then the outlets, and have sometimes great bargains . I got paige jeans for about 50 usd, Under Armour workout gear as top fro 15 usd, they had uggs, converse, DH bought Calvin Klein suit for 250. It's not always good but worth visiting. Most in store were locals, so it isn't aimed at tourists.

Premium outlets. Allot of the stock is made for outlets. I am not mad on Hilfigher or RL so I can't comment but DKNY and Kenneth Cole have different stock in the outlets, made for them for sure. I did however like lululemon (V) under armour (id) victoria secret (id) disney outlets so if you have time worth visiting.

Florida Mall / Mall of Millenia - we went but it's just take so much time to find stuff. I bought jeans in Macys and underwear in Victoria Secret and that's all

Walmart - don't see the big deal. Huge store! Cheaper to get your sweets for presents in the end

Publix - I liked for small shopping as fruit and water, food is good quality.

I think this is it. We had such great time, sad it's over. What next - I don't know. May be we will come back, may be we won't! Next year we are having European vocation

Thanks for all the help and information while planning out holiday! We are so lucky being able to do and see all this, it was truly a magic!

Lovely report, really enjoyed reading it. Have to say we definately seemed to have the same experiences with the dessert party (I think we went the same night) and the photo connect (we too have a photo in a dirty white room).
