Florida Mall sounds great, can you give directions. [/quote]

Florida Mall is on the corner of Sand Lake Road and Orange Blossom Trail. The easiest way from Emerald Island (I think) is to head east (which is really going north!) on I4 to the Sand Lake Road turning, go east on Sand Lake to the junction with OBT, go over the junction and turn immediate right into Florida Mall.

We enjoy the Florida Fashion Mall, which is off West Colonial Drive. Its not so large as the Florida Mall or so expensie as The Millenia Mall There are a couple of good 'accents shops' and you can always check out all those great furniture stores along WCD. There always seem to be more locals than tourists,there.

Just don't ask the security guard in the Florida Mall carpark where it is as eh didn't have a clue. The first time we went it wasn't as well sign posted as it is now and we couldn't find it, We were expecting a big entrance like shopping centres here. So when all we could find was a couple of big shops we stopped and asked the security guard where the Florida Mall was and he said he hadn't heard of it. When we got back to our hotel we asked there and discovered we had been in its carpark outside Sears. Perhaps it was a accent thing or maybe he didn't want us Brits to pick up all the bargains.[msnwink]

I won't look out for any large malls then, what landmark can I look out for.

The Florida Mall is pretty well sign posted now. We didn't have any trouble finding it on our return to Orlando.[msnsmile2]

Or, you can go down 192, to John Young Parkway, or Orange Blossom trail, and follow down a few miles to the signs. OR go to celebration, and get on 417, come off on OBt and follow to FM, OR as above, but Osceola PArkway to OBT.
