We always visit the Florida Mall and The Premium Outlet on I-Drive. For window shopping and the cheesecake factory it has to be the Mall at Milenia.:)
Dont forget Belz for a multitude of Factory Outlets at the top of I-drive.
We've found current Disney stuff in their shops that's half the price of the Disney World shop in Downtown.

Beall's outlet mall opposite Siesta Largo on the 192 (I think I remember you saying something about staying at Lake Berkley?). Great for bargains in books, trainers, shoes and also has a Van Heusen outlet. Also has Rack Room Shoes at the front of the mall on the 192.
Mall at Millenia is a newish mall and has loads of shops. We were there at Xmas and it had the most spectacular Santa's Grotto we had ever seen!!
We also like Downtown Disney and Lake Buena Vista Factory Stores.

My wife shopped until I dropped on this visit; to a lesser extent, her sister too. According to the info I have:
1. The best overall mall: PREMIUM OUTLETS (Quality, value and choice)
2. The best bargains: The two BELZ malls and the other shops around them like TJ Maxx, Festival Bay etc.
3. Best Flea Market: Opinion divided between 192 Flea market and Maingate Flea Market.
4. Best Window shopping: Mall at Millenia
Try the Nike place at Beltz - not only for trainers but we found great bargains in their 'end of line' clothing, baseball caps etc. And just a short walk away is Tommy Hilfiger(?spelling) and Timberland and Dexter shoes and Reebok and ...............

I loved the Mall at Millenia.
There is a great gadget shop there. When we were last out, I was fascinated by the vacuum cleaner that was operating by itself. Each time it came to an obstacle it changed direction and carried on cleaning.
Managed to resist buying it though!
We've just seen those cleaners in Linens 'n' Things for only $199! ;)
I seem to remember seeing them and their lawn mowing cousins on Tomorrow's World a few years back.
Unfortunately, what you gain in the gadget kudos, you lose in the effectiveness of the vacuuming/grass cutting [msnsad]
The store is called Brookstone<blockquote id="quote" class="ffs">quote:Originally posted by chris c
