View Full Version : Mercado
On International Drive where Titanic Exhibition is located. Lots of shops in a village atmosphere with restaurants and a large multi snack area.
Pleasant seating with a fountain - try the iced cafe mocha!

There is also a good leater shop there called images which will custom make you a coat or a jacket, our family have bought 4 so far. The have another outlet at Point Orlando.
The Mercado went into Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection recently and the Titanic Exhibition/Feature is due to close shortly. Try the candle making shop where you can see beautifully decorated candles being hand made (my husband got thrown out of here for using a video camera!)
Hopefully there'll be some of the place left when we return to Florida! :)

That does not surprise me at all, Blottie.The last time we were in there, half the shops were empty (ie. shut!) and the other half were empty ( ie no customers). I would guess it has lost a lot of custom to Pointe Orlando. Might be a good buying opportunity if they have a lot of closing down sales though.
