The Florida Mall

I only really find myself coming here over millennia because they have a Zara. That is pretty much it. This mall isn’t too nice and gets packed!
The recently renovated dinning pavilion is nice and the Spoleto is great. I like that they have a big Lush here and also have stores like Forever 21 and H&M. They have an Apple store and a Microsoft store too. The ThinkGeek is pretty cool if you haven’t been, and they also have a GameStop.
The parking here is terrible on the weekends. So prepare yourself if you plan to come on a weekend. People also don’t seem to know what stop signs are and run them all the time, so drive carefully.
Overall, this mall is okay. Nothing too special but not terrible. It’s pretty big and gets packed. For some reason this mall feels dark and dated to me, and I find myself going to millennia more often unless I want to shop at Zara.

Man I’m from California and when I came to this mall I was like wow. This mall has everything. Such great stores it’s a one stop shop type of mall. Was highly impressed with this mall. Those is best mask I ever been to makes our malls in southern California look like crap

This is a pretty standard shopping mall. It does have some pretty noteworthy stores such as Think Geek, the Crayola Experience and M&Ms World, but really it’s a mall just like any other. I liked the array of restaurants. Generally it seemed well maintained and well lit (though the restrooms were a little odd if I recall correctly).
Worth a trip if you’re in need of a shopping mall.

Florida is definitely my favorite mall in Orlando. It’s a little bit of a trek for me to get there, but usually worth it.
The good of this location is the variety of stores. There are high end and more affordable stores. I feel like other malls have more on one end of the other and Florida has a plethora of both. There is a good amount of food choices in the food court. Some better than others. Definitely get a fruit tea from Bubbleology-​that place is amazing. Chinese is always a good option for me on food. Lots of free samples. Score!
The only downside is the parking. You might end up pretty far from the entrance because the mall is so busy. But who doesn’t need exercise? The bathrooms are also generally ew. Pee before you go or just hold your breath.
I’m sure I’ll be back… in a few days. I love shopping! Hehe.

Pretty good size one floor mall. I would have given this mall 4 stars if it were not for the disappointing food court. There was not much of a selection, I end up eating at Charley’s the cheesesteak place after 15 minutes of «what do I want?» I did not go to the Cake Shop which I saw was pretty popular on Unilocal,guess I missed out. Overall, every mall store typically found in large malls was there. I enjoyed being outside at the entrance of the mall where the palm trees were, calming ambience. THis area included a kid’s play area, convenient. My kids enjoyed the large American Girl, Crayola, M&M, and Disney stores. THis was a plus for the kids. The mall was very convenient to where I stayed, about 10 minutes away or less. I would go back.

Lets see, $ 6.99 for a pretzel and drink. One original pretzel $ 3.39, I pay with a $ 5 bill and get $ 1.25 back. As if the prices arent high enough the have to short change too.
The pretzels are so thin now, not even enough as a snack.

We stopped here to kill time before our flight left. There were tons of stores and a huge food court. There were lots of stores that I had never seen before and was glad to browse to see something different. The odd thing was there were a few stores that I saw more than once. I could have sworn I passed three Auntie Anne’s. Victoria’s Secret was broken up into three different stores and that was really strange (PINK, VS Beauty and VS).
The Crayola store was cool. There was an attraction at the back of the store. We were running low on time and was unsure if we could make it so we had to pass. The famous Cake Boss store Cake Shop was on the opposite side of the food court with people lined up out of the store.
There were charging stations all over the mall, which seems to be standard at all malls now. This is a life saver. I can’t count how many times I have been at the mall and needed my phone to call someone that was meeting me there and my phone was close to dying.
If this mall wasn’t big enough, the Florida Hotel is attached and is a gargantuan of a hotel. It’s very nice and swanky looking.
This was a nice mall to visit, but I do not know how often I would visit if I lived in Florida. It seemed overcrowded, but so did every where we go in Orlando. Lol

Florida Mall, is your average mall. It has most of the stores that you would see in any other mall. I have noticed they changed the food court. It is in a different location and they lost some eateries but gained others. Overall, the food court doesn’t have a good selection to me. I will say Auntie Anne’s is always crowded here and for that reason they have multiple locations inside the mall. Parking for the mall is OK, I do think it could be a little better considering the location. I’m sure I’ll be back when visiting Orlando again.

This mall seems to be getting better. I would’ve given it three stars about a year ago, but with the new dining pavilion and changes they have made, the deserve 4 stars for the effort. A lot of awesome stores that are hard to find in other areas.

I haven’t worked on this side of town for over a year so I haven’t frequented it as much as I used to. But when I came back recently, the food court was closed. what the? I followed the signs and discovered it was moved to the old Saks Fifth Avenue location and is now deemed the Dining Pavilion! Not going to lie, it was impressively fancy for a food court, lol.
Other than that, the mall is still rather busy with all the tourists scampering about. Be cautious as to not walk behind the sweaty ones that just came back from a theme park.

I used to work in this mall several years ago. I know that stores are stocked very deep. Which means they have a lot of merchandise, because of all of the international visitors this mall attracts.
I specifically went to the JCPenny store at this mall. I went here looking for a suit. Now I am a big man. And I was able to find charcoal gray suit, right off the rack. I need it for my son’s wedding. No alterations, no modifications it fit perfect. And I know the same holds true for a lot of stores in this mall.
«Pile it high, and let it fly.»

Hubs and I have shopped Orlando malls a million times since he used to live there and I visit quite often (either with my own family or with his). Regardless, I hadn’t been to this infamous «tourist» mall yet and we had some hours to kill (and Christmas money!) so why-​the-​heck-​not.
I chose it because we hadn’t gone before and we had our 5-​month-​old baby in tote so I thought he’d enjoy the brightly-​colored attractions (I was right!). This mall features a M&M store and Crayola store, both with coordinating «experiences». We did not partake in this said «experiences» but it looks like jolly old overpriced fun for the kiddos :) I mean, hey, you’re in Orlando– you’re gonna go broke anyway, right?
He simply enjoyed looking at all the brightly colored things/​lights. I enjoyed the wide variety of shops though not my usual clothing preferences (I’d wear more of what’s at Millennia instead). These are more average, budget-​friendly stores.

My friend warned me but did I listen? No. He said I was better off driving a little further to get to Millennia Mall or the outlet shops. My sister was convinced that we could just shop here for a little bit before heading to dinner 10 minutes from here.
1. I had no cell service here. Zero to none. Not sure if this is an Orlando thing or what, but the Florida Mall is an AT&T dead zone.
2. The stores aren’t bad — I can’t complain since I left with a new Fitbit from Brookstone and a new shirt on sale from Francesca’s. Otherwise, the stores were just your typical mall stores. I was really hoping to see an Anthropologie, since their post-​Christmas sales are always pretty awesome, but not in this mall. They do have a location in the Millennia Mall, though.
3. The mall is huge, to the point where I felt like we couldn’t have explored the entire mall in a day. We ended up staying for about an hour and a half in one part of the mall, focusing on the stores we knew.
My least favorite part of this mall is lack of cell signal. I was trying to access my Banana Republic account to retrieve some reward certificates, but I couldn’t open the page. A great improvement and solution would be easy access to wifi. However, there are still many of the basic stores I like to go to. Check out the mall website to figure out the store directory ahead of time, just in case you’re looking for a specific shop, since they don’t have everything.

Horrendous parking!
Horrendous egresses and ingresses.
It’s large and there are many many stores… but it’s just too crowded. I felt like I was still at the Magic Kingdom, but with people not in a «Disney-​state-​of-​mind» (if they were Disney-​like at all, they were more Grumpy than Happy)…
I even went to the Disney Store in the mall, and people just don’t seem to wanna be there either.
Food pavillion is your typical food court with the usual suspects. There are lots of seating and a restroom nearby, but there was always a long line for the women’s restroom and the family/​companion stalls.
I will not add to the congestion and stay away.
Happy new year, Unilocalers.

This mall is always busy. It’s one of Central Florida’s most popular tourist malls. The Florida Hotel is attached to this mall, it’s no wonder why it’s always busy.
With a variety of stores and department stores to choose from you’re bound to find what you’re looking for but the hassle may not be worth it.
Be prepared for the crowds inside and out. The traffic in the parking lot is crazy and requires patience and persistence.
The food court, although brand new and beautiful, is a madhouse. The dining options are plentiful. I love the design because it does give an an open, roomy, feel but it somehow doesn’t alleviate the crowded feel. It stimulates the senses dramatically. I love the look, it’s modern décor is upbeat and hip to what’s «new». But personally, I’ll only dine in the food court when necessary. My first choice would be to find refuge in one of the nearby restaurants in order to get away from the crowd.

Over 270 stores from H&M to Zara, but not the cold feeling that some of these mega malls seem to have. The Food court has a selection for everyone from unhealthy greasy foods (yayyyy) to the health conscious jamba juicehead. There is valet parking for $ 20, which normally we would never use, but after walking 50 miles in theme parks the past 5 days, valet was perfect. Worth a visit.

Ok, I honestly have NEVER seen a mall this fricken huge. it is SERIOUSLY ginormous. There are multiples of different stores. Multiples of Auntie Annies, Sephoras, EB’s, Starbucks. I could go on, but you get the point.
They have a Bus drop off, and I don’t mean the kind of bus that people ride to work, I mean TOUR BUS. It’s kind of freaky. But they have stores that You can only find here, like the first brick and mortar version of Think Geek, and the only Florida location of Boxed Lunch.
Be prepared to see a LOT of people, because it is ALWAYS crowded, and I’m guessing around the Holidays it’s worse.

This is a really big mall… There are a lot of stores throughout… This mall is super crowded with tourists and it’s a pain to maneuver around all the people…
The parking is beyond terrible… You may be driving around for a while before finding a spot… And odds are you’re going to have quite a trek just to get inside the mall…

I liked this mall — I walked it with my husband while shopping for last minute wedding items last weekend for our vow renewal/​wedding ceremony in Orlando.
I needed something from Dillard’s as well as a few Halloween items for last minute costumes and then we just roamed.
The mall is pretty large and has a nice clean food court area with three really fabulous healthy options.
They have tons of stores in here that I’d love to shop in on the regular — most of which I have at my home mall — like Sephora, Dillard’s, Teavana, Michael Khors, etc. etc.
They also have stores we don’t have — like the awesome Think Geek store that the hubs and I spent plenty of time in nerding out and spending tons of money on cool stuff we probably didn’t need. lol.
I liked this mall — on my next trip to Orlando — I’ll stop in.

I’ve been going to this mall ever since I’ve moved to the states almost 10 years ago, and I have to say that it has gone through a lot of changes. The mall that is there now is not the same mall that was there when I first visited, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
I do appreciate the fact that they keep remodeling it and they keep updating the stores and stuff to compete with the nearby shopping locations (the premium outlets, Mall at Millennia, etc.). However, I feel that it’s still not there where it needs to be to compete with those places. I mean, yes, it’s great for your quick shopping experience, especially if you’re going on a night out with friends looking for something fun to do.
Definitely, not something that you need to stop at if you’re a tourist. If you want somewhere to shop as a tourist you’re better off going to the outlets or the mall at millennia for better deals and much more variety of things.
They did just open up the new dinning pavilion at the mall, which is much, much bigger than what they had in the past, but I feel like the restaurants they’ve chosen could’ve been better. I guess overall, it’s easier to just say, it’s your average shopping mall.

Die Florida Mall ist eine sehr schöné Mall allerdings hat uns die Produktauswahl nicht wirklich überzeugt, zum Vergleich sind die Premium Outlate Malls in Orlando und die Aventura Mall in Miami besser. Aber ein besuch ist die Florida Mall aufjedenfall wert.

Es uno de los mejores mall de todos no hay mejor buenos precios, buenas tiendas de marca

Klasse Einkaufszentrum man findet alles was man braucht und günstiger als in Deutschland

A very good mall with a big variety of shops.
I personally enjoyed most the Apple Store and the M&M’s
:-)

Bewertung bezieht sich nur auf Perfume Shop:
Vorsicht vor den Shops in der Mitte der Gänge. Wir haben hier ein angeblich billiges Parfüm bei Perfume Shop gekauft und ständig von Eau de Parfum gesprochen. In die Tasche hat sie dann ein Eau de Toilette gepackt, welches fast halb so teuer ist in regulären Shops. Bewusste Täuschung würde das in Deutschland heißen. Unser Versuch, das Parfum am nächsten Tag umzutauschen, war (wie erwartet) vergeblich! Unser Tipp: hier nichts kaufen!

Erstklassige Shopping Mall in Florida. Sehr großzügig angelegt, jeden Menge Parkplätze und gut zu erreichen!
Viele coole Läden, die Preise und Aktionen sind echt klasse, oft gibts 50% Rabatta zum Beispiel auf Schuhe wenn man ein 2. Paar kauft.
Ok die Preise in den Outlett Malls (Sawgrass z.B.) sind hier nicht ganz so niedrig, aber durchaus trotzdem eine Reise wert! Die Auswahl ist sehr aktuell, und super groß!
Man kann locker einen halben Tag in der Mall verbringen, und durch die ganzen Food Stände kommt auch kein Hunger oder Durst auf!
Tip: Lieber Getränke in Flaschen kaufen, denn die gezapften schmecken echt heftig nach Chlor!!!
Tip2: Besucht am Eingang die Heimat von den M&Ms, hier bekommt Ihr jede Farbe extra abgefüllt, so dass jeder seine ganz persönliche Mischung zusammenstellen kann! Von rosa, pink, lila über schwarz gibts alle erdenklichen Farben! Und ausergewöhnliche Sorten, z.B. mit Mandeln oder oberlecker Erdnussbutter!!!
