Which mall to visit on a shopping day?

[andrew1968]

I'm looking for some more advice please

On our next visit to WDW next month, we're thinking of having a shopping day.

I'm just looking for some advice on the best place to go for lots of shops all in one place.

We'll be getting a taxi there and back, so we'd like to have as much as possible in one place!

We've been to the Florida Mall a couple of times in the past, not for a few years though. Is it still the best one to visit, or are there any other options we should consider?

We'd like a good range of different types of shops - not just clothes!

Thanks in advance for any advice, it'll be greatly appreciated.

We usually do Florida mall but going to try Millenium mall this time as never been before and I hear they have a Cheesecake shop so have to try that, think that has a lot of designer shops.

Hi Gerry,

Thanks very much for that info.

I seem to recall we visited the Millenium Mall on our very first trip to Florida back in 1998, I think it was a coach trip that Virgin organised round a load of different shops.

As you've said, I think it did have a lot of designer shops.

Everyone will share their favourites with you but if you want some "unbiased" facts just have a look at the Sticky at the top of this page. It's a spreadsheet showing all the local malls, shopping centres and outlets and lists all the shops at each

Agree - read the stickies and guidebooks for the facts.

Andrew - you may be looking back with the rose tinted glasses. I think MoM opened in 2002. It is very high end, but has some 'ordinary' shops. Well worth a wander, and hit the Cheesecake Factory

Yes, I'll have a look through the stickys and info here.

Thanks!

We love the Premium Outlets at both ends of I Drive. Many shops at both but some only at one or other so check sticky if you have a favourite you want to visit. The Mall at Millenia is worth a visit, just for the Cheesecake Factory. One of my favourite places to eat, not just for cheesecake! If you love make up/skin care, there's also an Ulta hear by that's worth a visit.

Is anywhere good for stuff like video games?

I notice from the lists of shops that the Florida Mall does have a few games shops, but I was wondering if anywhere else might be better?

We have most success at the premium outlets 😀

Altamonte Mall is worth a visit, maybe a bit far by taxi though.
