From what I can gather, Brandon is far superior in choice
6 and half a dozen I reckon.

There you go. I would go to Brandon then. You are only 30 mins or so from Clearwater as well at Brandon so could do half a day at each.

Best bit I find with Altamonte Mall is coming back via Winter Park and having a look round there and going to Cheesecake Factory in Winter Park for dinner.

I have done all three - Ellenton can be hit or miss but i do try to get a visit.
Have been doing Altamonte last few years and really liked and then did Brandon last year as on our way to Sarasota - no tourists at all ! Everyone asking where we were from !
I didn't find a huge difference in choices but will be hitting Brandon again as its on route .
What ido like about Brandon and Altamonte is the parking !
I find the outlets in Orlando can be so stressful trying to park ...
Happy shopping !

Ellenton was top class last year when we stopped on the way to Rotonda. Some real bargains to be had. Altamonte wasn't bad either earlier in our trip.

We have probably been to ellenton 60 times over the years and anytime we go to any other mall (especially the main two in Orlando) we are disappointed.
