Shopping

You know it all too well … that euphoric rush that comes with finding the perfect pair of shoes, or the designer handbag you’ve been eyeing – on sale, no less. Perhaps it’s discovering an antique vase or unique piece of art that makes you feel like you’ve just won the lottery.

Whatever the object of your affection, you can design your entire Central Florida vacation in Kissimmee around shopping, where options that fit your sense of style and budget abound. From bling to bargains, you’ll find everything you’re looking for in and around Kissimmee and the greater Orlando area.

Spend a delightful day strolling the downtown areas of Kissimmee and Celebration, where you’ll find charming boutiques offering trendy and classic clothes, accessories, and home furnishings. If you can’t resist a bargain, Prime Outlets, Orlando Premium Outlets, and Lake Buena Vista Factory Stores are all must-shop destinations to scoop up premium and designer items at reduced prices. The Loop in Kissimmee features an attractive selection of department stores and popular retailers, along with great restaurants and a 16-screen movie theater.

If you’re a dedicated mall shopper, The Florida Mall, the area’s largest major shopping center, offers nearly two million square feet of shopping paradise. Anchored by Macy’s, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, JC Penney, and Dillard’s, it includes more than 260 specialty stores. If your tastes are strictly upscale, head straight to The Mall at Millennia, where you’ll find Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale’s and Macy’s, as well as fine boutiques and specialty stores including Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Gucci, Jimmy Choo, and Tiffany & Co. The one-of-a-kind line up at Festival Bay Mall features Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World, Ron Jon Surf Shop, Sheplers Western Wear and the giant Cinemark 20 Movie Theatres.  

For a change of scene (and pace), and especially if you’re searching for that “one very special thing” for yourself or someone else, visit the picturesque town of Celebration. Tree-lined Main Street and its adjoining avenues comprise Town Center, where you’ll find a selection of charming boutiques and specialty shops.

To combine fun and rides and games and shopping, head to Old Town in Kissimmee. There are plenty of activities and attractions for everyone to enjoy, as well as an eclectic collection of tempting shops and boutiques.

Should your tastes run to discovering treasures of an older vintage, the historic downtown areas of Kissimmee and St. Cloud feature a variety of shops selling antiques and collectibles, as well as art galleries, doll shops, and more.

If shopping is something that cheers your heart, you’ll love Kissimmee … the heart of Florida.
