I enjoyed seeing the arts and craft creations of local artists - and found a great gift choice by Aphrodite art design. Artist "on duty" was very knowledgeable and a great help.

I recently visited my girlfriend in Orlando where we stayed in an Airbnb hosted by the man behind the magic, Stefan Oswald. On the last night of my stay we decided to attend one of Stefan’s shows at the Great Magic Hall, and we had an absolutely fantastic experience from beginning to end. Extremely affordable, offering a good amount of humour paired with absolutely phenomenal magic tricks, I would highly recommend attending a magic show if you are in the area. The Great Magic Hall is also placed in the center of old town, so you can enjoy food, drinks and explore unique shops before or after a show. A fantastic outing for people of all ages, thank you again Stefan!
5. Hogan's Beach Shop

5.0 based on 41 reviews
From greatest wrestler of all time to greatest beach bum of all time, Hulk Hogan’s Beach Shop is a Hulkamaniac’s dream! This is the place for all the friends, family, and fans to experience the Hulkster. The knock out Hulkamania Viper takes center stage, and the nWo motorcycle perfectly matches the raw power of Hogan himself. You have to see it, to believe it, brother.

I made the trip to check out Hogan’s Beach Shop while I was in Florida, and I am so glad that I did. It’s half a mini Hulkster museum, half a Hogan gift shop. A bunch of genuine old memorabilia, and some great lifelike statues of Hulk and Jimmy Hart. The range of merchandise was amazing. Everything from old vintage collectables to the most recent action figure releases. Something for every price range, from autographed championship belts to a range of more affordable Hulkamania shirts.

The Diamonds International Store in Disney Springs is a great place to purchase a piece of Jewelry to show that special person in your life how much they mean to you. The staff we worked with, Bharti and Sanela, were knowledgeable, professional, patient and personable. They answered all our questions and, after carefully listening to what we were looking for, provided several viable diamond ring options, one of which turned out to be the perfect choice for us. Thank you Bharti and Sanela for a wonderful buying experience.

We only came here (about 5 times) as it has Cheesecake Factory. I would like to know if this was not here, how many people would actually come. It is a very high end Mall, with all the high end retailers and of course the usual ones too. Parking is easy to find and the restrooms are very clean.

My granddaughters Love being Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo'd! This trip, the 7 yr old was magically turned into a beautiful princess, complete with new glittery hair-do, glittered nails, a pretty necklace and princess dress with tiara, ready to eat at Cinderella's Castle with the Disney Princesses. 45 minutes of attention lavished on her by two sweet Fairy Godmothers changed her from a girl in shorts to a princess! Her 11 year old sister has her appointment at Disneyland in 2 weeks for her makeover.....Such fun. You can bring your own costume, or let your little one choose one there. They have a dressing room so she can change just before the makeover. After, walk around the corner to the photo studio for your professional photos with a beautiful backdrop, or get your photo done with Cinderella in a special setting in the Castle before dining. We had the Photo Pass, so we were all set.
