Outlet malls

Are there any outlet malls around Disneyland? Or close enough to shuttle or cab it?



Outlet malls


Not really, there are a couple of Outlet Stores at the Block of Orange, which is serviced by the ART system. But the vast majority of the stores in the block of Orange are of the normal variety.

And then the corner of Harbor and Orangethorpe is a major shopping location, basically strip malls with discount shops as part of the mix. (Located about 3 mile north of the DLR). A major outlet here is the Disney%26#39;s Character Warehouse, where they sell outdated park merchandise. The local bus service the area about every 15 minutes, route 43 goes up and down Harbor, $1.25 each way.





There is also the Anaheim Marketplace, which is an indoor swapmeet/flea market. They offer free shuttles from most hotels.

Outlet malls


The closest outlet mall would be the Citadel Outlets, at Commerce. Commerce is an easy 20 minute drive by car on the I-5 from Anaheim, during off-peak hours. It is in between Anaheim and LA.





I don%26#39;t know about cabbing it, but there may be a tour that goes there? Check with GreyLine Tours, they might have a bus that goes there. (Just an idea, I don%26#39;t know for sure that they do.)




Thanks alot, I%26#39;ll definatly be checking these out!




Here%26#39;s a link to the Citadel outlet website:

If you can%26#39;t find info anywhere else, maybe they could give you some info on any tour busses that may go there.





Also, you will love Steve and Barry%26#39;s at the Block at Orange. This is a huge store with clothing for the whole family. Their prices are unbelievable. They also have the largest collection of t-shirts I have ever seen. Some of them are absolutely outrageous. It is very easy to access using public transit.




Disney%26#39;s Character Warehouse gets mixed reviews here, but I think it%26#39;s great. We make a point of going there every time we visit Disney. I always find plenty of bargains there. The selection varies, because it is their clearing centre for last year%26#39;s merchandise. You can expect to find good bargains on things like t-shirts, ball caps, coffee mugs, pens, pins, key chains and things like that.





Personally, if I am looking for a souvenir with, say, Mickey Mouse on it, it doesn%26#39;t matter to me whether it%26#39;s this year%26#39;s merchandise or last year%26#39;s.
