Area Facts
Although Orlando is recognized world wide for its spectacular theme parks, the area also has a host of other amenities.
Malls & Shopping Centers
International Drive – This 3-mile strip has one of the largest concentrations of shop options in the Orlando area.
Orlando – The proliferation of shop options elsewhere have left Downtown Disney® struggling for a bit of recognition - but certainly not for quality.
West Orlando – Options here included Metro West, Winter Garden, Ocoee and part of Turkey Lake Road.
Kissimmee – Just south east of the Walt Disney World® Resort, Kissimmee has several interesting shopping areas.
