OK locals and WDW regulars….
I have been trying desperately not to shop any of the park holiday merch its all so stinkin cute….
What’s the over-under on any 2025 holiday merchandise being in the outlets by Jan 11th?
Too soon? Too late? Just right?
I never really paid attention to how out of date the items in the outlet are… Thoughts?

I have been very surprised, in the past, finding holiday items in the warehouses during the holiday season. You just have to pop in and check it out.

There were 2025 food and wine merch and some ornaments at the Character Warehouse in the Orlando Vineland Outlet today, 12/11/25.

Confirm… I know they have merch for the events currently going on. It’s not only for after market / over stock.

Thanks for the responses! This is super exciting. My only regret now is booking a budget airline with only a carry on!

Those places are always so busy. There’s a queue just to enter. It’s got quality merch, but not the “must-haves” that you see online. Plus, it’s such a gamble on what is offered. If I were local or close enough to drive house I’d consider it.
As someone who flies and doesn’t rent a car, it’s too much of a hassle to go.
There is a city bus (Lynx) that goes between DS & MCO w/ stops at the FL Mall. It’s $2

Agreed. We always fly and honestly never rented a car until they got rid of the magical express.
Even now, we will either get a car one way for the day or for the week. we tend to hit the Publix’s near by to stock up on drinks and snacks and then drop in to see if there’s something I can’t live without.
