Millenia Mall

Thanks Fiona, looks like we could be trawling the UK if she can't find one she likes that suits. As it's a make, do, and mend trip to the villa + a bit of pre A level relaxation/revision we know we are shopping rather than the parks this trip (other than Sea World).

Hey, Just wanted to say, that this is an amazing mall, and great to visit, the fountains out the front are awesome. They have the best place to eat 'CheeseCake Factory'! The CheeseCakes are HUGE! The whole mall is really modern!

We second that Chris, The Cheesecake Factory is fabulous but for those who have not been before don't be put off by the name, yes they serve scrumptious cheesecake but they have one of the most extensive menus that we have seen in US restaurants. the menu is like a book, great salads and pasta for vegetarians. The starters are gigantic a meal in themselves...oh roll on June...

Back to prom dresses Steph we found the most amazing "little black dress" in DKNY at POM, one size was just too small and next size up too big, and it was a steal

Thought I should put this in separately - this started last week:

First Fridays at the Mall at Millenia

Jennifer and the Venturas to Perform on March 5, 2004
The electrifying band Jennifer and the Venturas will perform at THE MALL AT MILLENIA on March 5th during First Fridays, a monthly outdoor concert series. The series runs 5-8 p.m. on the first Friday of each month.

Admission is free to First Fridays, presented at THE MALL AT MILLENIA’s main entrance located next to Brio Tuscan Grille, The Cheesecake Factory, McCormick & Schmick's Seafood Restaurant, and P.F. Chang's China Bistro. In addition to enjoying world-class performances, concert-goers can purchase food and drinks from these restaurant, plus California Pizza Kitchen and Panera Bread. Presented by Smooth Jazz 103.1 WLOQ, the event will also feature fashion from THE MALL AT MILLENIA’s leading retailers. Free parking is plentiful among more than 5,500 spaces around the Center.

Jennifer And The Venturas came to be in the Fall of 2000, when the veteran rhythm section of the band, Dan Electro And The Silvertones, teamed up with vocalist, Jennifer Sweat. From jazz to rockabilly to surf, the band’s music list continues to grow. Each of the players has brought along such a rich and diverse style that the group puts their trademark on every tune they cover. Regional press has brought the band awards for Best Jazz Band and Best Original Band of the Suncoast 2001, Best Jumpin' Band of the Suncoast 2002, and Best Jazz Band 2002.

THE MALL AT MILLENIA is visible and conveniently accessed from an I-4 interchange at Conroy Road (Exit 78) and is within an easy drive to most Orlando neighborhoods. In addition to plentiful, free parking around the Center, valet parking is also available. Daily shopping hours are Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. until 9 p.m. and Sunday, 12 noon until 7 p.m., with many restaurants open through midnight. For more information, call 407/363-3555.


I know it's past the 5th March, but might be worth remembering if you are out in the first Friday of a month.

It would probably have fitted Michelle a treat then Fiona, she always seems to be just in between sizes but we've found the fit seems to be better in US sizes than UK, she's very long in the body so waists end up just under her armpits etc, not very flattering, but some of the tall ones she's tried in the past do actually make adjustments in the body length rather than add a couple of inches to the bottom, which seems to be most shops answers to "tall" people. She likes DKNY and Macys had a large selection of Ralph Lauren black dresses as well last time we were there. She's trying to get a lighter colour for the summmer but would also like a new black number for the winter events.

Hi Mark & Lorna

We don't ever use a car either and have no problems getting around.

The way we get to the Mall of the Mallenia, is to get yourself to the Belz Factory Outlet at the northern end of International Drive.

If you are staying on I'Drive then the Trolley Bus or the number 42 Lynx bus, will get you there no problem.

At the Belz, catch the number 27 Lynx and this will drop you off outside the Mall of the Mallenia.

Is the Mall at Millenia an indoor mall like the Florida Mall or is an outdoor mall like the chelsea premium oulet mall at little lake bryan.

The chelsea premium oulet mall at little lake bryan on south international drive is pretty decent.
