I must admit, I don't like shopping, but I DO like the Florida Mall, and it is shopping all under one roof. I reckon Florida Mall must epitomize the typical American shopping experience, and is unlike most of the places we have in the UK, unless you get to Lakeside or the Trafford Centre. But with the exchange rate where it is, we would have been foolish not to have taken advantage of the savings we could make on shopping whilst in the US, and because we were in Orlando just before Christmas, we had our present to buy.
Unlike some of the other malls in the Orlando area which appear to be brand and designer outlet malls which smell of "expensive" to me, the Florida Mall offered us regular punters everyday stores, with everyday merchandise at everyday prices (and better). As an example, we bought a digital camera and an IPod, both of which were half the price of the same item in UK Sterling when we got back home! You can also pick a coupon book up from the information desk although I have to admit we didn't use many of the coupons on this occasion.
We called in to Florida Mall a second time on the way back to the airport for final bits and pieces to purchase at the last minute. Orlando International Airport is no more than a 20 minute drive from Florida Mall, which made it less of a panic with the deadline of a flight to catch.
