Disney Outlet Stores

Most visitors to WDW understandably don't take the time to explore off-site shopping opportunities, but did you know Disney operates three outlet stores in Orlando? Disney doesn't advertise the existence of these stores, but they sell a wide range of goodies from T-shirts to sweatshirts to jackets to figurines -- all at deep discounts.

There is a Disney's Character Premiere in the Orlando Premium Outlets mall off 535 (the address is 8200 Vineland Avenue), and there is both a Character Premiere and Character Warehouse in the huge Belz Designer Outlet complex off I-4 on International Drive.

If you look for them, the latter two shops don't even have the Disney name attached to their signage. Character Premiere is in Mall 1 and Character Warehouse is in Mall 2.

Good deals -- especially on merchandise imprinted with a year -- can be found at all three shops, but check price tags carefully. Some items -- music CDs, many of the pins -- aren't discounted and are sold at regular price. On a recent trip, though, last year's Passholder T-shirts DW and I paid $19 for were selling for $7. We also bought Guest of Honor badges for $1.99.

The Disney outlets aren't something to disrupt your vacation for, but knowing they exist might come in handy at some point, especially for people who live within driving distance.

Cool! Are any of these convient for a stop on the way from the airport to WDW? 1.99 for GOH badges sounds worth it to me.

These outlets are awesome. I make it a point to hit one or two of them every trip. They are great for the little items you have to take back to family and friends back home. I'm a big fan of cheap. :)
