The Loop

Haven't been here before - heard its where the discount cons shop has moved to.

Is it a mall set up with everything under one roof or is it more like the outlets where you have individual shops outside but connected by walk ways or is it just clusters of shops randomly within a large area - bit like a UK city centre? (which is what it looks like form google maps)

Trying to decide whether its worth us visiting as we dont drive so use the lynx bus / uber

It’s open and spread out over 2main areas the Loop nd Crosslands
I’d describe it as set in squares with car parking in the middle of each
A bit awkward to negotiate the first couple of times as to what’s where
But in probably there more than any other mall now

As Helen says it's neither like a full enclosed mall like Florida Mall nor like the Premium Outlets for example which are individual shop fronts with covered walkway and partial roof.

The Loop (and Winter Garden Village which is very similar) is completely open. One part is a very large car park with big units such as Ross, Bed Bath & Beyond and Michaels on either side. Then smaller road lead off with smaller car parks with the likes of Bath & Body Works and Ulta. We always drive between B&BW and Michaels though.

Don't know discount cons I'm afraid so can't help on its location.

I found the West Osceola Parkway to be the most expensive toll road in the area.

It’s like a retail park with shops around the carpark.

We like it although I’ve just realised we didn’t go this year. We do usually as they have a good old navy and a michaels craft shop.

Winter Garden Village is a couple of miles further for us but a pleasant toll free drive up Avalon. Could use 429 toll and do it 5 minutes quicker maybe.
