So be honest...

[Cmdr_Crimson]

When your on vacation in Orlando.....Do you ever step into the Souvenir shops outside of the world?

 

[epcotisbest]

Every trip.

 

[jkl2000]

I can pretty much guarantee I won't as we'll be staying on property without a car. I have to say, that shop looks awful. Honestly, I don't want to have to spend much time in the souvenir shops on property, so I wouldn't have much incentive to visit the ones off property.

 

[Soarin' Over Pgh]

Stayed on property without a car, so no. But hopefully next trip (if and when that ever happens. Wanna go half on a rental house with me?!) I'll have a car and can.

Obviously you do. So spill it, what did you buy?

 

[Master Yoda]

We do on occasion. Cheesy tourist traps have an odd sort of appeal. It is kind of like a flea market with AC.

There are other places in Orlando outside of Disney property?

You can walk down hotel Blvd and there's at least 4 down the road...And no I haven't rented a car (this will be my first year doing it in Orlando) and no I have Not bought anything in it..I just like to go to them since they are roadside filler to go to..I found the picture on Google as an example..

You keep wondering this and we'll keep enjoying SeaWorld, Uni, IoA, Aquatica, Discovery Cove, Celebration, multitudes of restaurants, shopping, cycling, golf, tennis, art, museums and much more, while you stay happily in the bubble. We all win.

I do keep wondering why the St. Johns flows north?

Uh, gravity. It is a confusing thing.

 

[AndyGator]

Though it might be because Georgia sucks.

 

[FettFan]

I generally go to the one next to Old Town/Royale Parc Suites.

Bought a baseball cap there for $7 that would have cost me at least $20 at the parks.

Then I lost the damn thing on Spaceship Earth.

Lived in Georgia all my life and still love it.

 

[Allym146]

No, we haven't. Souvenir shops don't appeal to me in general. I don't even like to spend a lot of time in the ones in wdw. A lot of stuff that I want but don't need and can't justify spending any amount of $ on. H's family loves myrtle beach and doing all the shops and I can't stand it!

 

[LucyK]

Never did, probably never will. I only buy my souvenirs at Disney stores inside the parks. Yes, some are expensive but the quality is higher as well.

 

[James122]

I ocasionaly do. It's kind of nice to browse the cheap tourist-trap shops. I've some hidden gems in a few of those stores.

 

[donaldtoo]

Other than MCO, no, 'cause we're always inside the bubble, except from and to our flights.

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

No, although last time I was in Florida we went to the Disney Character Warehouse at the the outlets on I-drive. They had some really good stuff.

 

[Britt]

Well....I went to Walmart off site and they have a Disney section!

I don't buy Disney merch at Disney though too expensive!

 

[AndyS2992]

No because only official Disney Parks merchandise is acceptable for me. If someone came back from WDW and gave me a Mickey plush clearly from Wal-Mart or any cheap off site store then I would be grateful but not impressed. Disney Store merchandise would be ok I suppose.
