Shopping

Shopping is a big attraction in Orlando. Here are some of tips for both budget outlet and designer Orlando shopping.

Florida Mall

Mall at Millenia

Orlando Premium Outlets

Good for department store shopping, including Macy's, JC Penny and Sears. Exit junction 74 of the I-4, turn right onto Sand Lake Road and continue until you see the mall on the right.

One of the newest shopping malls in Orlando, containing many designer shops including Burberry, Gucci, Chanel, Coach, Banana Republic and many more. Exit junction 78 of the I4.

Very good designer outlet shops, including DKNY, Hugo Boss, Nike, Levi's, Armani and many more. Exit junction 68 of the I-4, continue straight across crossroads and follow the road until you see the mall on the right.

Locally there are two Publix supermarkets within 5-10 minutes from Watersong. One at Champions Gate, where there is also a Walgreens pharmacy and another at Lake Wilson Road. These are very good suppermarkets where you find everything you need.

If you want hypermarket shopping then Walmart is for you. There are two Walmarts on the  I27, one towards Haines City and another at Clermont. These are both around 10-12 miles from Watersong.

Bahama Breeze
