The Florida Mall
8001 S Orange Blossom Trl, Orlando, FL 32809, USA
Sprawling single-story shopping complex near the theme parks, among the largest of its kind in the United States.
This guide to The Florida Mall in Orlando opens with Edward DeBartolo Junior's 1998 courtroom admission that he paid four hundred thousand dollars to Louisiana's governor for a casino license, at the height of his run owning the five-time-champion San Francisco 49ers. It traces back to his father, mall developer Edward DeBartolo Senior, and the years the two spent building this stretch of Orange Blossom Trail through the late 1970s. Picture the hotel built right onto the mall itself, unusual for its era, as you walk past it.
