Orlando's Best Outlet Malls & Discount Shopping: Where Locals Find the Deals
15
items Living next to the theme parks means we know where the real bargains hide - including the outlet store where Disney sends its official park merchandise at a fraction of gift-shop prices. Here's where locals from Kissimmee and Poinciana actually shop.
Map
THE hack every visitor should know: this is where Disney sells official park merchandise at steep discounts - the same ears, spirit jerseys, and plush from the parks for a fraction of the price. Hit it BEFORE your park days. Second location on I-Driv...
Disney's Character Warehouse
The big one - 160 stores next door to Character Warehouse. Go on a weekday morning; weekend parking is a blood sport.
Orlando Vineland Premium Outlets
The I-Drive twin at the north end - 180 stores and the SECOND Character Warehouse location lives here. Tourists walk here from hotels; locals come for Nike and Coach.
Orlando International Premium Outlets
The quiet one on 535 - smaller, never mobbed, with a free shuttle from many hotels. Old Navy, Nike, and Levi's outlets without the Premium Outlets crowds.
Lake Buena Vista Factory Stores
Perfect beach-day combo: an hour east on I-4, hit Tanger in the morning and Daytona's sand in the afternoon. Great Nike and Under Armour deals.
Tanger Outlets Daytona Beach
Worth knowing for Tampa Bay trips - the biggest outlet center on the Gulf side, right off I-75 between Tampa and Sarasota.
Ellenton Premium Outlets
A true CLEARANCE store, not just an outlet - deeper cuts than the Premium Outlets Nike, right on Osceola Parkway in Kissimmee. Sneakerhead heaven on restock days.
Nike Clearance Store - Kissimmee
Where Kissimmee locals actually shop - Ross, Marshalls, Ulta, and a movie theater in one open-air loop. Way saner than the tourist corridors.
The Loop Kissimmee
The second Character Warehouse, inside International Premium Outlets. Stock differs between the two locations - serious Disney bargain hunters hit BOTH in one day.
Disney's Character Warehouse - I-Drive Location
Not an outlet, but the biggest mall in Central Florida deserves a spot - 250+ stores, and the international food court crowd-watching is free entertainment.
The Florida Mall
The fancy one - Apple, Louis Vuitton, Cheesecake Factory. Come for the AC on brutal August days and the holiday decorations that put the parks to shame.
The Mall at Millenia - Orlando Florida's Premier Shopping Mall
Quirky souvenir shops, old-Florida charm, and the free Saturday night classic car cruise. Come for cheap souvenirs, stay for the funnel cake.
Old Town
Kissimmee's newest hangout - shops, rooftop bars, and live music at Margaritaville. Free parking and no gate ticket needed for a fun night out.
Promenade at Sunset Walk
Open-air shopping and dining across from the convention center - solid mix of restaurants, plus Main Event and improv comedy for after-dinner fun.
Pointe Orlando
Big open-air center off the 429 with Target, Best Buy, and every fast-casual you can name - our go-to practical shopping run on the west side.
Winter Garden Village
