Not too big, not too small, this little shopping center is juuuust right…read more The fact that it's not just a Walmart, nail salon and McDonald's makes it a 5 star shopping center to me. My bank is here, my eye doctor, my dentist, my groomer & dog food shop is here, and Walmart grocery stores, of course. A couple top notch eateries including Island Thyme and L'il Anthony's make it an awesome addition to the community. I used to get my nails done here till the salon went down the tubes, but I guess you can have it all!

Lee Vista Promenade is a great shopping plaza located in close proximity to Orlando International…read moreAirport and offers a nice mix of retail stores, restaurants, etc. (they even have a farmer's market on the weekend. The farmer's market is held on Sunday morning, I believe). The mall is smartly laid out and very well maintained. It is clean and is both welcoming and attractively designed. They have a good selection of retail and dining options. Again, the Lee Vista Promenade is located close to the airport, so if you are a traveler staying in Orlando, the City Beautiful, this is a good shopping plaza to either grab a meal, grab some essentials, or just for something to do (or a combination of all three). I travel a lot for business and I understand the need to find something to do in your downtime while traveling for work. This is a great choice to head to. All in all, I definitely recommend here and give it five () stars.

HomeGoods, Michael's, Academy Sports, Five Below, Petco, ULTA... this list goes on. On top of that, you've got the Epic theater which offers luxury seating that I love. And you've of course got some great dining options like Rock n Brews, Red Robin and lots of quick service joints. It's conveniently located on 436 & Lee Vista by the airport. Really love this place!

Alafaya Village is a shopping plaza that sits on the corner of East Colonial Drive and Alafaya…read moreTrail. It has been there since I moved to Orlando, Florida back in 2001 and has seen businesses come and go and new businesses come in. Honestly, it is not a bad location with a lot of traffic going by it each and every day. There is a lot of parking available and it is relatively safe. My only complaint here is that none of the stores seem to have any permanency with the exception of the Wendy's and the Dunkin' (both of which are located in standalone buildings). All in all, a decent enough shopping plaza.

Cute little corner shopping center that hasn't changed too much over the years…read more As long as I can remember, World of Beer has been the "anchor" in this shopping center. There's a First Watch, boba shop and a newer Ramen shop that came here last year. They have a good amount of dining options in this area. I usually come here for the boba place, or the Happy Lemon boba on the other side of the shops (on the Tijuana Flats side).

Located across from the main portion of the Waterford shopping plaza, it has a few shops we like -…read moresuch as Michael's and Kohl's. We also love the Rice and Beans restaurant. It is far less busy than the main side which is very nice. They have less options, but still a good variety. The set-up is pretty scattered with various strip plazas that contain different stores / restaurants. Each one has it's own parking lot and sectioned area, which ends up being nice since the lots don't get full and you can always find some where to park. Overall: A A less busy side of Waterford, but plenty to shop / eat.

Waterford Towers, or as I call it "the Kohl's plaza" is situated directly across from Waterford…read moreTown Center on Alafaya Trail. I frequent a number of the shops and restaurants here. You've got major stores like Home Depot, Kohl's, and Michael's as well as a lot of smaller stores. Back in my tanning days I was at the South Beach tanning multiple times/week and have enjoyed many meals at Rice & Beans and Papa Lozzi's. Other stores/restaurants include a Panda Express, Bonchon, Chipotle, Keke's, a hot pot place, a nail salon, Nothing Bundt Cakes, a new Indian place, the Post Office, some resale shops, Smash burger and even a daycare. The plaza is huge with several other establishments, but there are also a lot of vacant storefronts. The main entrance closest to the 408 is kind of a nightmare as is that whole side of the plaza. I avoid that end just because it's such a pain in the butt to get out since the exit gets so backed up at times. I usually go out of my way and further down to turn right from an exit without a light or even to the far opposite end where the post office is because there is a light there. Good variety of stores/dining, but a pain to get in and out of. Don't forget to check there are shops behind what you see from the streets. That's where you'll find things like the resale shops and the cigar store. Those on the far back seem to struggle the most to stay afloat.

One of my favorite downtown city spots to walk around!…read more There are plenty of shops and restaurants in the area. It is a more upscale and pricy area, so the shops reflect that for the most part. There are plenty of restaurants to eat at; Boca, Panera, BriarPatch, to name a few, there's a good variety! I love going to Spice and Tea for their selections of spices and an Iced Crème Brûlée Tea. There are also services like glasses and a Truist bank on Park Ave. plenty of services to choose from! Even a real estate agent office! There are shops for everyone! Kathmandu for Crystals and metaphysical goods. Achiest Olive for oils, vinegar and pantry items!

I really wanted to visit a Lilly Pulitzer store, and saw there was one located in Winter Park. I saw that there was other shopping options, and a Tiffany glass museum, so decided to spend my day here. I had no idea what a wonderful visit my day would turn out to be! There are wonderful places to eat, great shopping, a museum, and a park. I didn't have trouble finding parking, but I could see where it would be difficult on a busy day. I would highly recommend this area if you are in town visiting.

The Horror! I grew up near the famous (or infamous) mall where "Dawn of the Dead" was filmed. To…read moreme, the mall was a destination where you'd spend the day eating and shopping and eating some more. I've watch the style of the malls transform over the years. There are plenty of happening malls around Orlando, but this centrally located mall is everything but bustling. George Romero's zombies would die of starvation if they visited this particular mall. One major plus is Parking! It's excellent as you rarely are more than 5 parking spots deep from the entrance. The parking garage on the west side invokes horror as even a menacing looking figure such as myself hurriedly shuffles to and from the vehicle in tremors to avoid Killer Klowns, Leatherface, Jason, Michael, Ren McCormack, Freddy, or whatever those things in Wrong Turn (2003) were which may be right behind you. Once inside, you don't feel much safer as the Stir of Echos of each footstep remind you that you should get what you need and get out as fast as you can. As of this writing, there's a Macy's, maybe a Dillards, and a bunch of mall staples like phone stores, Spencers, Hot Topic, a Beauty Shop, nail salons, and one of the most laughable food courts I've seen. It would take the advertising team from Picture Perfect to get this place back on track. I wish I could say this was due to the Pandemic, and although it didn't help this mall, it was like this before. I hope some of the face-lifts going on outside pump some life back into this structure. It's like Flatliners if that drug didn't work to bring you back. Or maybe everyone shopping took the serum from Hollow Man, as nearly every photo here (not mine, everyones') is devoid of people. There are so many closed storefronts that looking down one corridor towards The Darkness of the entrance in the distance has you wondering if it's worth the effort to walk that direction. Upon leaving, you've never been more happy to be in traffic because at least it means there are other people around and you've survived the hell-hole that is Orlando Fashion Square. Don't fill Trapped! You Should Have Left before you got out of your car.
