Authors WebsiteA visit to the Orlando area would not be complete without a visit or two to one or more of the numerous shopping malls that are located all over the place. Although I have visited many of them I still have a way to go before I have completed the list that I already know off and there are more opening up all the time.
Florida Mall – located at the intersection of Orange Blossom Trail and Sand Lake Road
Department stores such as JC Penny, Sears, Saks, Dillards and many smaller shops together with a Food Hall giving you a bewildering choice to eat. An all day experienceLake Buena Vista Factory Shops – located on 535, south of 535/536 intersection. One of the smaller outlets but nevertheless well worth a visit. Call at the Swim Mart to collect a voucher booklet.
Orlando Premium Outlets – located on Vineland Avenue, exit 68 off the I 4 . Well contained and easy to find your way round with a the help of their map. There are many sports wear shops, and other shops include Oilily, Burbery, DKNY, Ralph Lauren, Versace, French Connection, Georigo Armani, Hugo Boss and many others.
Belz Factory Outlets – located on Kirkham Road and I 4 junction. This is a large widespread area and is sometimes difficult to find specific shops but well worth a visit. Has over 170 outlet stores including, Footlocker, Gap, Adidas, Levi, Nike, Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, Liz Claibourne and Reebock.
The Loop – located at the junction of the John Young Parkway and Osceola Parkway. One of the newer malls, with a Kohls, Sports Authority, Beds, Bath and Beyond, Old Navy and many other others
Eagle Ridge – Located on Highway 27, south of Haines City. JC Penny, Sears and many others including a food court and a 12 screen cinema complex.
West Oaks Mall – situated on Highway 50. Again has the department stores of JC Penny, Sears, Dillards and many other smaller shops and a large food court.
The Mall at Millenia – Just off the I 4. Well worth a visit if only for window shopping. Department stores include Macy and Bloomingdales. Other up market shops include Gucci, Tiffany and Cartier. Wonderful eateries including a Cheesecake Factory which has cheesecake to die for as desserts, but do not forget to leave room for it after the starter and main course.
Old Town Kissimmee – situated on the 192 just past I 4 going eastwards. Many small speciality shops. Worth visiting in the evening.
