Walt Disney World: It's Not Just for Kids

Window of the Disney Outlet, August 2010

While I was in Orlando two weeks ago, I went to both the Orlando Prime Outlets and the Orlando Premium Outlets.  I was not terribly impressed with the Disney Outlet at the Prime Outlets-I was hoping for more Christmas merchandise than there was.  However, I was able to pick up a pirate princess knife and eye patch for $.50 each (for whatever it’s worth, I later saw the knife at Mickey’s Mart in Downtown Disney on the 4/$10 wall).  I also got a pirate princess keychain.  Some stuff was stuff they had last year-plastic ID bracelets, Pooh ID bracelets, and Tinkerbell personalized earrings.  I bought all three items last year-the Pooh bracelet is freakishly big-it was falling off my wrist.  I also saw the Tinkerbell earrings at the World of Disney on sale.  I stopped in the Victoria’s Secret outlet-I didn’t get anything, but I was much more impressed with the setup this year than last.  The entire store is laid out by size.  They had panties for 5 for $10, and padded bras 2 for $20.  For what it’s worth, my bra size is a little hard to find, and they had a decent selection.  I also stopped in Forever 21, which was utterly trashed.

My brilliant idea to take the Sea World shuttle to reduce cab fare was nipped in the bud when I realized that the shuttle left Royal Pacific Hotel five minutes before the outlets opened.  The cab ride will be a later post, but once I got there I started at the Disney outlet.  They had a great selection of merchandise, I ended up getting a set of re-usable Disney Christmas bags-I’m planning on personalizing one to be my fish extender.  I was disappointed that neither outlet had any really mind-blowing deals on pins.  Their LeSportsac outlet didn’t have anything you can’t get at TJ Maxx.  The Cosmetic Company Outlet already had some of MAC’s Liberty of London collection.
