Which Mall?

[Minimanam]

I have given in and agreed to take my DW and 3 DD's (17, 13 and 7) to the Mall for a few hours while we are in Florida but not sure which one

I think we are deciding between Orlando Vineland Premium Outlets and The Florida Mall

Any suggestions, please

Premium outlets.
At least if you are going shopping, reduced prices are better!

Altamonte if your willing to drive a bit further, can be much cheaper at times.

Premium outlets definitely but we go to Florida Mall for shops like Macy’s, Sears and J C Penny. But to be honest we do all the Outlets and Malls.

I forgot Altamonte Springs Mall. Cheaper than Florida Mall as that’s where the Locals go.

Altamonte is amazing
And not inflated tourist prices

Do all of them!

The premium outlets are better & cheaper plus decent food court. The I drive one is a little larger than vineland. It's worth also goingto shops near them. Nike, Tommy hilfiger & converse are pretty good & cheap near the I drive one.

They are open late so when not have a chilled late evening shop at them? We do enjoy florida & altamonte malls as well but would choose premium everytime

If they can only visit one , I would say Premium Outlets.

Honestly I feel like the two are quite different experiences.

The Premium Outlets are an outlet mall, with the shops there catered towards selling discounted goods (past season, or made for outlet merchandise). There are some good finds to be had, such as in the Disney outlet (which has some awesome stuff sometimes), and I like peeking around the stores like Coach and Kate Spade and Kipling to see if there's anything on sale for a good price.

In contrast Florida Mall is a standard mall, with the shops there mostly selling full price stuff (with the occasional discount). However it does have some attractions like the M&Ms store, Apple store, Macy's, etc.

Why not do both?
