    Flea Market

    Going in October and would like to visit the Flea Market the trouble is I have heard there are two, one bigger than the other is this the case?We did visit one in 96 and it was great bought some great decorative candles and some personlized pictures which were very unusual at the time, but last Christmas they had a whole shop at Bluewater (local Shopping Mall)with exactly the same thing I wonder if it is the same person ? ONLY 98 DAYS TO GO[8D]

    There are a couple of flea markets on Highway 192 (near Kissimmee Old Town and one near Wal-Mart) and also a Farmers' Market (ie a flea market!) near St Cloud, through Kissimmee (this last one is open on Friday, Saturdays & Sundays only). Going towards St Cloud, they're all on the left side of Highway 192.

    Thanks Blott,
    There is always a collective groan when I mention Shopping Iam the only female in my house and shopping is an ugly word unless your shopping for computor games or footie boots. Perhaps I`ll be brave and drive myself to the flea market and leave them round the pool what do you think lol

    The best Flea Market by far is Flea World up near Sanford. It's huge and their prices are generally lower than the one on the 192 (as they seem to have fewer tourists go up there). We always go to buy things like "fake" plants for the villa.

    We went on our last trip-as we had a couple of hours to kill before our daughter arrived.

    I don't know whether it's worth making that long trip up there-I think the St Cloud one is pretty good.

    I know the flower stall you mean. It's pretty good-but when you think it is an hour's journey.

    You can get to the Sanford Flea Market using the 417 Greeneway.
