Orlando Vineland Premium Outlets

This guide to Orlando Vineland Premium Outlets asks why a single square foot of retail here earns more than almost any shopping center on earth, with no rides or theme-park draws in sight. It traces the outlet village's opening in 2000 as Orlando's only luxury-only complex, stocked with Prada, Ferragamo, Bottega Veneta and Tod's rather than everyday names, and its deliberate placement a couple of miles from Walt Disney World's gates. Wander the palm-lined courtyards and count how many familiar mall names you don't see.
