THE MALL AT MILLENIA

4200 Conroy Rd. (at I-4 near Universal Orlando)

Exit to I-4 east (Exit #259/Orlando). Exit I-4 at Conroy road (Exit #31a) and turn right onto Conroy Road. Then turn right onto Millenia Blvd. The centre will be on your left

This Mall is not really the place to shop for bargains, but well worth a visit, this is a new, upmarket and very impressive shopping mall.

Featuring the anchor stores Burdines/Macy's, Neiman Marcus and Bloomingdale's, along with a diverse selection of 145 other stores, the Mall at Millenia has become a Florida landmark.
Two-hundred-and-fifty-year-old fossilized tiles make up the mall's floor, bringing the concept of "shopping" to a whole new level. The mall, which opened in 2002, features an 80-foot water garden, valet parking and full service concierge. It also features some of the better dining options around with restaurants ranging from fine dining to fast food; in January 2005, it opened the Blue Martini, an upscale martini lounge featuring regular live entertainment.

MOUNT DORA

 Take I-4 Exit 92, Hwy. 436, go west to U.S. 441, then north and follow the signs to Mount Dora and its "business district."

  This haven for artists (and retirees) is also an enjoyable day trip, not to mention a wonderful alternative to all that is Disney. The town, established in 1874, has the genuine feel of old Florida, with an authentic Main Street, far less crowded than the one Disney has re-created. The 19th-century buildings lining the streets are picture-perfect, leading to the calm, dark green waters of Lake Dora. Unlike most of Florida, this town actually has rolling hills, adding to the charm.
