I always take what I want to wear with me as I am fussy & spend ages in advance picking things to wear... it's all part of the build up & excitement

That wouldn't stop me adding to the collection over there though lol!

Depends on how long you are there for.
We usually go shopping on morning after arrival ,because after three hours at airport, nine on plane hour and half getting out at other end its nice to have a leisurely first morning.
We are happy at Walmart however.

Buying new clothes and bits and bobs is all part off the build up off my holiday, I'd hate to miss that out. It would also stress me out knowing I didn't have any clothes for holidays. If I go clothes shopping ( rarely as I hate it ) it takes me forever as have to try everything on in every shop then probably go back for the first thing I tried
Not a great start to our long awaited holiday. Also I've spent thousands on this holiday I wouldn't want to waste a single minute of it.
I know clothes shopping is heaven for some but I'd rather be in the parks. I can shop for clothes anytime going away to Florida will be a rarity.

I wouldn't leave it, I hated shopping in Orlando! I would be in trouble if I didn't bring the things from home. We have much cuter clothes in Europe

I didn't take many tops and was very disappointed with the choice of tops available for me.
Plenty if you're size 10 or 12 but not for me.

I just want to add - stock felt very generic and we did buy some generic stuff as jeans, plain t-shirts and winter waterproof jackets. so if you like generic type of stock with RL, TH logo you may be ok, they are cheaper.

If you do want cute clothes you are better off shopping here.

Depends when you're going. I would take things like shorts with me. We went in October and didn't see many shorts about.

You can get good savings in the outlets, but I stocked up on new clothes for the UK as I would get more wear from a pair of jeans in the winter than a new swimsuit, iycwim

Pack carefully we took too many clothes, over half we did not wear! Did use the launderette at the hotel a couple of times, but lesson was definitely learnt for our next visit hopefully 2016.

Hi
Definitely buy your sunglasses there hun, much cheaper & mode variety. Clothes I would take most of them with you, yeah you can buy some nice designer things but as for everyday clothes I just dont think they have the fashion sense like us. I always take 3 cases & come home with 4. Usually buy a MK handbag, few pair of Steve Madden shoes, hubby buys quite alot of Hollister & trainers & I get quite a few pairs of converse for the children.
Hope this helps hun.
