Hi we were there in 2001 and again in 2003 and on the 2nd visit we felt it had become rather shabby and didn't see many bargains. We think that the Orlando Premium Outlets and the Florida Mall are much better for shopping. OPO has lots of shops like adidas; nike and reebok, whereas FM has Macy's; Burdines and Warner and Disney shops.

we went there and spent lots of lovely money!!!, we liked the gap shops, levi's shop, we went to a seasonal shop, beautiful ornaments, like halloween, easter all sorts of very lovely and not to expensive ornaments, there were loads of shops and we didnt get round to half of them! my feet were aching so much!!
we've yet to try premium outlets, we kept turning off to soon for that one but think we've got it sussed next time! there are so many more shops now that have apparently sprung up!!!!!!cant wait, 6 days.....

We went to Beltz last year. All the shops are not occupied and noticed a lot of them were shut. Bought some Donna Karan outfits, good price. There is a big store there, cant remember what it is called, bought some shimmering dresses and tops, for a quarter of what we pay in London. Best deal I had in the whole of Orlando were bras. There was this shop there selling all the bras in the shop for 3 for $21. I couldn't believe it, I went back three times. These are not rubbish, they were the same ones I buy in Uk for £35 upwards. I even called all my friends to take down the sizes, as they were just too cheap. The shop assistant even asked whether I was going to re-sell them, they were that many. The underwear (pants)were [bad language filtered out] though. They were either Bridget Jones type or thongs, nothing in between.

The premium outlet at the bottom of International Drive is better as they have more things, and you just love going through all the designers searching for bargains.

You can eat there. Not many restaurants thought like Premium Outlet. There is another mall across the road from Beltz, for all types of sports, fishing, skiing, basket ball, they have lots of restaurants.

Personally I do not particularly like Beltz. It is not as good as it was years ago and IMHO is now for British tourists. The only shop I buy from is Nike once in a while. There are many better shops out there.

I quite like the gap at Belz - always seems to have better stock than the others

I dont rate the belz at all.i find it very tacky now and not at all pleasant to walk round.We much prefer the premium outlets as its looks brilliant and is set out in a great way to walk round and browse and has some great shops.they have a food court right in the middle which is very nice as it has plenty of choice.i could easily spend ages browsing round this place compared to belz.
