Outlet and Flea Market Shopping from K's
Butterfly or Crystal
Both my
Kissimmee
Butterfly
and Crystal resort vacation rentals are within easy driving
of Orlando area outlet stores that advertise they offer discounted retail prices, as
well as flea markets on U.S. 192. For your information I provide the following
list, telephone numbers, Internet contact links and Mapquest links.
Note -
In my opinion the flea markets generally no longer offer discount prices. However,
they do offer an unusual atmosphere you may enjoy experiencing.
Additionally,
the flee markets offer some merchandise you might not find in other places.

all at incredible outlet prices. The list of the center's distinctive

The following crossed out material described the outlet mall previously called Belz, that was
located at the absolute north end of International drive. The
Mapquest links below still point you to the correct locations. The
mall was sold and the stores
are being renovated. It is
now called
Prime Factory Outlet World. The website for Prime
advertised they held their grand re-opening midnight, Thanksgiving night, November 23, 2006.
They also have posted a schedule of phased openings of different
refurbished parts of the complex. Check out
their website.
Phased reopening
