At this Orlando, Florida shopping mall you’ll find stores similar to the other malls in the area. Like JCPenney, Sears and Macy’s. But this mall has a few gems the others don’t.

Like the Disney Store which has some of the coolest licensed merchandise you can find.

One of the biggest things it has the other malls in Orlando don’t is the M&M’s Store. If you like M&M’s as much as I do (and every other sane person on earth) you're going to love it here!

The store has it’s own entrance so you can park right in front! If you wanted to you could avoid the rest of the mall. Outside you’ll see the M&M Gang.

Walk in and feast your eyes on an entire wall of delicious chocolatey goodness! In every color of the rainbow,and more!

Or if you have a birthday coming up you could get you’re favorite color, or the color of your birth stone. Or a number of other cool ideas.

You could be the coolest kid on your block when you bust out your lilac and auqa M&M’s!

There’s also a really cool race car in the middle of the store. Make sure to have your camera ready for a photo op!

You can find stuffed animals, magnets, candy and tons of other M&M's gear. You’re definitely going to want to check it out (even if it's just to say you did).

The prices are a bit high but for those of you coming from other countries (with good exchange rates) you may not get as sticker shocked as me.

Plus some of the things you can find in the store you may have a hard time finding any where else.

What make Florida Mall Orlando Different?

This’s one of the malls in Orlando that has a great mixture of upscale and regular priced stores. It’s the something for everyone mall!

They have great toy stores for the kids. Like the Build A Bear Workshop where you can build your own teddy bear.

You choose the shoes, shirt, jacket, hats and whatever else you’re heart desires (and your pocketbook allows). You can even make it say things! It would be a unique keepsake from your trip to Orlando, Florida.

If you’re shopping with small children and you need something to hold their attention (listen up Dads) there’s a large play center in the middle of the mall. With slides and little tunnels it's just a fun place for the kiddies to exert some energy.

For you’re older children there’s stores like Forever 21, Light Up Tees and H&M.

And they have shopping for the adults with stores like Pottery Barn, Charolette Russe, Motherhood Maternity and Express.

The Florida Mall Orlando has a nice variety of higher end stores as well. Like Louis Vuitton, Coach, Nordstrom, and Saks Fifth Avenue.

Their selection of upscale shops is only rivaled by the Mall at Millenia in Orlando.

There's even a Ticketmaster where you can buy tickets for concerts and shows in the Orlando, Florida area.

Is there any place to eat?

Florida Mall Orlando also has over 30 restaurants including Buca De Beppo, Ruby Tuesdays and California Pizza Kitchen.

It also offers a nice variety of fast food restaurants like Five Guys Burgers and Fries, Starbucks, Subway and Natures Table. The food court is nice and comfortable to sit and enjoy a snack.

One annoyance at this Orlando, Florida shopping mall is the center kiosks have people paid by commission.

Be sure to avoid eye contact if you don’t want to get roped into buying something. These people are good at what they do. You may end up walking away with something you don’t need!

Just keep that in mind when you’re smiling at the guy selling electric airplanes. Imagine your three year old son flying it into your head and laughing until he pees. I’m just saying.

Moving right along.....

Sometimes the Florida Mall Orlando gets busy. If you want to avoid the crowds go earlier in the day. After noon you’re going have to deal with the crowds.

If you want a less busy mall all together check out the Orlando Fashion Square . Florida Mall Orlando has great bargains. With plenty of free parking.

Some people just go there to walk around and window shop. On some days you may notice a group of people power walking through the mall. Which brings me to another point.

It’s a nice place to hang out during a rainy day. Be sure to bring your walking shoes. If you plan on making a day of it you're going to get tired feet if you wear heels. Remeber there are over 200 stores to see!

But be careful you’re likely to walk out with more than you bargained for. Good thing they have a few luggage shops so you can buy a new bag for all the stuff you get.

The Florida Mall Orlando is surrounded by a Best Buy, Target, Barnes and Noble and other great shops. Making it convenient to find anything you couldn’t get at the mall.

If you LOVE the Florida Mall Orlando you could always stay there during your trip to Orlando, Florida. There’s a hotel directly attached!

The hotel has a bar in the lobby that has TV’s, drinks and food. The rooms are clean and the staff is friendly. What more could you ask for?

If you stay at the hotel you may never even have to leave. You can get all your Orlando shopping done. And it has everything right at you’re finder tips!

If you do decide to leave the mall you’re only about a 25 minute drive to most major attractions in Orlando, Florida.

The Florida Mall Orlando has something for everyone. A cool atmosphere to hang out in, great shops to explore and even a place to sleep!
