    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!

    The Mercado

    Over 50 specialty shops, including American Cola Company, Krazy Kites, Florida Paradise, Global Sports and Kandlestix.

    No Disney gifts here but definitely worth a vist for a good mooch!

    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.
