There really is no comparison to the Disney Stores located in other centers. Disney Stores carry current Disney merch at full freight.How do the outlets in Orlando compare with Disney outlets elsewhere?
I won’t have a car next trip, and wonder if they’re super duper compared to other locations or if the merchandise usually gets distributed fairly evenly throughout different stores

The two Disney Character Warehouse locations in Orlando carry authentic park merch that is past prime at heavily discounted prices. These are true Disney stores, staffed by Disney CM's, not the outlets full of cheaper Disney licensed (and sometimes unlicensed) merch.
An example; I purchased a lovely Disney logo golf shirt with a 2017 logo in March 2018 for around $10, original park price was still on it at $45. We've got a ton of stuff with dates that don't match our visits, but I'm okay with that for the kind of savings we get. Also note that there is a lot more adult clothing in the DCW than I find at our local Disney Store. Our store seems to focus mostly on toys and kids stuff for gift giving; DCW is more about souvenirs from the parks.
We have a Disney store at the local mall, which sells current Disney merchandise.
But there is an outlet about an hour from my house with a Disney Outlet. I haven’t been in years, though. Trying to decide if it’s worth a trip to stock up on some goodies before the trip or if it’s worth the vacation time (and Uber fare) to go to the outlet in Orlando.
On our upcoming trip to Disney we have one day for shopping, and we want to go to one of the outlets for the Disney cheaper options of merchandise. Which of the Premium outlets has the better Disney warehouse?
We have one of those too ............. they still sell just Disney Store merchandise, and only some of it is discounted aka clearance. They used to be really good Outlet stores that were true outlets but Disney closed them all ... then years later began opening what they call outlets but like many other stores in those malls they aren't.
What is in Orlando is completely different, which is 100% Park merchandise.
We usually stick to the Vineland close to WDW. Last trip we decided to do both in one day to compare. They did have some different merchandise but I wouldn't say that one was better than the other. It wasn't enough different for me to go to the hassle of going to the Universal area one.
I would also agree that I haven't been finding many good things lately,basically a lot of junk when compared to years ago.I also dont go early in the day so that may have something to do with it but back then I didnt go early either and found a lot of things I liked so who knows??I'm going to try and go early in the day and see if theres a bigger,better choice of merchandise.It also helps with the parking issue,to get a parking spot in the peak hours is like finding a needle in a haystack as I wont be paying those $10 to park in the garage.
