Shopping Vlog! Disney’s Character Warehouse at Premium Outlets plus Epcot at Night with Magical Meg!
Good morning everyone. Welcome to a Chloel and welcome to our first full day here in Florida. Today we’re going to have a bit of a shopping day and then we’re going to go to the parks later as well. It isn’t the best weather usually. I am sitting here on our first full day and I’m going, “Oh, the blue skies are gorgeous, the sunshine, the heat.” But it’s actually quite cold and it is quite overcast today. Hopefully it’ll brighten up later. It is 9:00 a.m. right now. So hopefully it’ll get a little bit better later on. I got the spray tan. I want to wear my Florida dresses. What’s going on? I’m hopefully going to be seeing Meg later as well. Magical Meg. You all know her now. She is just fast become one of my besties. So, I’m looking forward to seeing her. Got us some British treats. I’ll have to show you what I’ve got her. But before we get going on this first full day here in Florida, where do you think we’re going first? Pause this video now. Comment below where do you think we’re going. I can guarantee that you will all get this right. That’s right. We’re heading to Duncan. Let’s go. Here’s a better view of how overcast it is. Look, it looks like it’s going to rain. We’re at Duncan now. This is my favorite Duncan, the one at the Wizard, the Wizard gift shop here on the 192. It’s quite quiet. Let’s see if there’s anything new in Duncan. See if there’s any Eastery things. Simon’s parents kindly got me a Duncan voucher for my birthday. So, my Duncan breakfasts are all sorted for this trip. So, I went for chocolate milk and I got a vanilla cream donut. I love donuts with cream in the middle. I’m a bit weird. I don’t really like jam. Is anyone else the same? So, yeah, I’m not a fan of jam donuts, but it can’t be cream. Right, we have come to Dolly’s. This is what my dad calls it. It’s actually Premium Outlets at Vineland. We call it Dolly’s because we went to the Dolly’s Dixie Stampede here. It’s gone now. Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede. Does anyone else remember that? Let me know below if you ever went to it. It was so much fun. Um I’ve asked you to write a lot of comments today. It’s cuz Simon’s not here. I’ve got no one to chat to. Um yeah, it’s such a fun It was such a fun experience. We are going straight to the Disney outlets store that’s here and they have discounted merch and things. I like to have a look at the beginning of a holiday what’s there so that I know then that what’s in the parks is there and I need to get it full price. And something I want to look out for at Character Warehouse is a present for a friend of mine who is having a baby. So I want to look and see if they have any baby things in there. I’d also like to check out and see if there’s any Christmy things. There were some amazing things last December. So I was hoping it might turn up here in March. So fingers crossed. I probably won’t vlog too much inside the store. It’s always really chaotic. And as well, by the time this vlog goes up, a lot of the things in there, it might have changed. And um yeah, I don’t want to be giving you prices of things that might be gone by the time you’re here. But I’ll give you a little bit of an overview, and hopefully you’ll find something. This shop is very hit and miss. Sometimes you’ll find so many things, sometimes there’ll be nothing, and I walk out empty-handed, and I’m shocked. We’ll see what this one’s going to be like. So, if you’d like to know where to locate the Disney character warehouse shop, always just look for the fruit cup. And if it’s not on this side, then it’s through. That’s how I remember. If it’s not on the side of the food court that you’re on, then it’s on the other side. I would say as well to try and get here for 10:00. It means that there’s no one in the car park and that it’s quite quiet. Look how empty it is here. And this gets very busy. The Disney character warehouse store itself gets so busy as well. Um, if you’re here before 10:00, before it opens, you could be in a long queue. So, I try and come a little bit after. Oh, there is a a little bit of a queue here. So, as you walk in, they’ve got the Christmas fluffy spirit jersey. I do like it. Bit loud, though. $29.99. It’s very Christmassy. So, this whole section is home home wear. All loads of mugs. These are $4.99. It’s cute, Mickey. Oh, I love all the home wear. They’ve got tea towels for $7.99. Oh, that is gorgeous. Oh my gosh, it’s got a huge Mickey on. Chris would like that. I won’t film too much. Oh, the classic. It’s like a retro retro clock. got loads of spirit jerseys. Star Wars spirit jerseys. Wakanda. Oh, they’ve got the uh Festival of the Arts [Music] one. They’ve got loads of 2024 stuff. Do you know what though? It feels a bit bare. There’s not a lot here. They have the Play the Part range here. Now, I quite like that they’ve got the towel. It’s only $9.99. That’s such a good price for a Disney towel, and they always come in handy. The mug’s quite nice, too. $7.99. Oh, was that the Valentine’s Mickey with his little strawberries? $7.99. That is such a good price. A Well, it was a miss this time. I’ve come out with nothing. I can’t believe it. There’s just nothing that really caught my eye. It felt really bare as well. I just Maybe it was just a bad time. We’ve come into Under Armour and I’ve just picked this up for Simon. It’s so nice and it’s only $22. It’s half price right now. These jackets are cute. I’m going to get this jacket. I love it. It’ll be great for England that for our summers with the rain. They have black as well, but yeah, I love the blue. So, Disney’s Character Warehouse wasn’t successful, but Under Armour was. I’ll show you what I got when I get home. I might try on my jacket and show you it properly. It was so nice. We’re at Mall of Millennia now. Mall at Millennia. We’re going to do some more shopping. I want to go to Bath and Body Works, Hollister, American Eagle, all those kinds of things. I really love this mall. It’s such a beautiful mall. Right, I’m meeting back up with mom and dad in an hour. I’m going to have a little blitz up and down. Look around some of the shops and things. It’s nice and quiet. This feels really good. This mall does remind me of the traffic center, though. Do you know what I mean? Like the vibes are very similar. I’m going to go into Bath & Body Works. They have a new Disney range that I want to test out. So, this is it. This is the new Princess range. They have Cinderella, Moana, Ariel, Tiana, Belle, and Jasmine. And I want to get my friend Charlotte some Cinderella bits for her birthday. Cinderella is her favorite princess. So, I thought that’d be a nice little gift set. Oh, they’re all here as well. I was hoping for some like a load of miniatures really as well, so I can get it home for her. I’m going to sniff all these fragrances, see which is my favorite as well. My favorite princess out of these is probably Belle. Um, oh, but look, the one I’m gonna get my friend Charlotte, kind, optimistic, and hopeful. That’s her. Although, I feel like the Moana one’s gonna smell so good. Even Ariel, actually, that could that could smell really nice. So, Belle’s got more of a vanilla smell. I do like vanilla. Jasmine is flowery. I’m not a big fan of flowery smells. Right, I’m going to Oh, I don’t know. Right, I’m going to sniff them all and see. Yeah. So, I think these three smell the best. I just these are just a bit too floral for me. I couldn’t really smell the vanilla in in the bell one. I could just smell the flowers. I just spoke to someone that works here and they said that they’ve absolutely sold out of all the minis and I’m so gutted cuz I wanted to do like a little mini gift set for my friend Charlotte. But now I’m thinking of getting her just like one or two things. It’s just getting it home really. I’ve got a lot to bring home this time. Yeah, it’s looking scarce and she said that there’s no more coming through. they’re not going to get any more of this range. So, yeah, I’m a bit late to to this. She said it’s been really popular and I don’t blame it cuz it it’s just stunning. It all smells magnificent. We are back now from our little shopping day. I didn’t vlog too much after Bath & Body Works, but I just did the sort of usual Hollister, American Eagle, things like that, Sephora, and we’re home now. Mom and dad are now actually carrying on shopping. They’re off to Lowe’s to get some villa bits. And I am just waiting for Meg to arrive. She’s picking me up and we’re going to go to a theme park. We don’t know which one yet. H We’re actually going to eat offsite first. I don’t think I’ll vlog that, but then after food, we are off to the parks. Which one’s it going to be? Who knows? It’s probably going to be between Epcot and Hollywood Studios, I think. H But we shall see what awaits us for this little Disney evening. I thought I’d show you what the jacket looked like on cuz I don’t think I showed you what that was in the shop, did I? I love it. It’s so cute. I love the color. This is perfect for England. Can tighten it here. Let me go further back. What do you think? I love it. Megan and I are coming in for an epic catch up in Applebees. Where else? We are getting salads and our chicken is on its way. Look how big this salad is. I love an apple bee salad. And of course, I’ve got my Mountain Dew. Look at our meals. We’re matching. We’re matching. We both had same salad and now same. You were the one who turned me on to this fiesta lime chicken. It is so good. It is so good. Look all that cheese. That’s the best part. Cheese on anything is Yeah. Epcot, we’re here. We’re coming for you. My favorite park. Our favorite park. Our favorite part. I love this park. So the best. We have a good one for your first one of the trip. Definitely. Yes. And we’re in Epcot. I’m in my happy place. The first park of the trip. It had to be Epcot, didn’t it? It just had to be. And I’m here with magical Meg. You all know Meg by now. I’m so excited. I I know this is your favorite park. It’s my favorite park. So, I’m excited. This is like the first event of the trip. We’re starting it off strong. We are. It is like 7:00 p.m. cuz we’ve been talking for hours in Applebees. In Applebees. Yeah. Well, we can do it. We can split two hours of fun in Epcot, can’t we? We can do it. Absolutely. And it seems like it’s a very low crowd night. Like we actually parked in preferred parking. So I don’t think there’s going to be many people in here. I think we might hit it good. Yeah. Should be good. What What are our plans? What are we going to do? Ooh, it’s you’re the world vacation. I want to know like what are you feeling? I feel like a walk around World Showcase is a must. Yeah, let’s go to Rosen Crown. Have to do that. I love that. Um a ride or two. Guardians is now on standby. Oh, I’ve not been here since. Sometimes you can hit it at the end of the night where it’s low sometimes. So that we could try that maybe at the end of the night. Okay. But yeah, I think a walk around of Epcot is just always a good way to start off. That’s a good idea. Let’s look at the wait times for Guardians. Let’s do that. Okay, cool. Hey, let’s go look at the Fidious and Ftopery. I’ve not seen this yet. This is new. Oh, I just love Epcot during Flower and Garden. It is just so beautiful here. I just saw all these flowers over here as well. Check this out. This is my favorite part of Epcot during Flower and Garden. And look, the sun is setting. Look at these beautiful flowers. Gorgeous. Do you know what would be perfect right now? Montreal. A Montreal. You knew exactly what I was going to say. Yes, that makes the perfect shot. I love this whole area. It’s gorgeous. And coming in on the Montreal, too, and seeing a bird’s eye view of this. So, it’s almost a shame that it’s not like this all year round, though. Look how stunning this is at sunset. that is at Christmas. I always wish they would just do something like I guess that’s what keeps it special for Flower Garden, but yeah, this is just always so stunning. Look at the bird over there. He’s like, if there’s no Montreal, I want to get entertained. Yeah. Oh my gosh. We just looked back and a Montreal’s coming. This is perfect. We were waiting to get the Montreal. Oh, stunning at sunset. I love flower and garden. Uh back at the UK have my old stomping ground. I can’t believe I worked here for two whole years. I just every time I look at it, I just can’t believe it. What a time. Best years of my life. Gorgeous pink sky here. Epcot. We’re in the Japan pavilion. A spaceship earth has just started sparkling. Beautiful. We’re just walking around World Showcase. Oh, look. Stunning. I’m not sure I’ve seen Guardians lit up at night. Wow. So, it isn’t a virtual queue anymore. So, we’re going to get in the line. It’s 90 minutes, but we are just chatting anyway. We might as well chat in the line and then get a great ride done as well. Right, I really want September. I’ve never ridden this ride with September. Let me know below what your favorite song is for this. Right, 90 minutes. We are here and it only took an hour. So, that was good. 60 minutes and not the 90 minutes. So, happy with that. So, now we’ve got to manifest September. Fingers crossed. And it’s great as well. We’re going to be at the front of a vehicle, which is so good because you get a better view. So, we didn’t get September. We got Iran. It’s okay. It makes it slower. Like, there’s a different pace, right? It’s not September, guys. Like, that’s when it’s just looked up perfectly, I feel like. See, I don’t know. I need to Right. We need to do it again. Yes. But September. This is now the mission of Claire’s trip for right now. March 2025. Like, this trip will be the trip that we get September. Finally. I wish there was a way like apparently the cast members don’t even know. Like it’s fully randomized so you couldn’t even like request. That would be crazy if you got to request like that. I feel like that’d be just it would it’s the date in September. I’d have to come in. You’d have to plan a trip because the only time that they always every single car gets September is on 21st. The 21st night of September. They do that as special. I love that they do that. That’s so clever. Yeah. I’ve never come out to that. I need to do that at some point. So you should plan a trip for September. Definitely. And you’ll be guaranteed. Yeah, exactly. We are heading out of Epcot now. Oh, we’ve got to end the vlog with Spaceship Earth behind us. Look at this. Oh my gosh. Love it. I have to come up. Yeah, I have to go down in yours and you have to go. We are leaving Epcot now. It’s been a lovely evening. It’s been so nice. We had dinner earlier. Got to have a very nice much needed catch up and then walk around our favorite park. Blitz that 2 hours. It was great. We had such a good time. didn’t get September, but we’ll come back and try and get it. That just means like this is the mission now of this trip. You have to make it happen. Stay tuned for the next vlog. It’s going to be another Disney park. I’m not sure which one yet, but stay tuned to find out. Thank you so much for watching. Please like this video if you did.

Any day that starts at Dunkin has to be a good one!!!! A great fun filled vlog for sure!! Have a wonderful week and take care!!!!!!
Loved the Dixie stampede we use to go around Christmas it was an amazing experience
Fun as always but sorry about the miss on "September" we were both rooting for you. Just curious but is "September" one of your favorite songs or some other connection to it?
So enjoyed your vlog! Flower and Garden Festival is always stunning. We just were there at the end of April!
Lovely blog, Claire, and l love Epcot to it looks beautiful 🌻
Omg! Dolly’s Dixie Stampede!! Memory unlocked 🤯
For shopping, the outlets for the Disney store?
Dunks donuts look like they are getting smaller😮
I used to love Dollys Dixie stampede show, such a shame it’s no longer there, great vlog 🎉
Dunkin for breakfast
Dreaming of being in Florida right now – excited to be back in September! Quick question, do you drive when you're out there?
That was a packed day – loved joining you! Closer and garden festival is my fave 🥰
Your black Mickey shirt is so cute! I’m not into Disney clothes but I can totally see myself wearing that one. 🙌
You should go to Dollywood in Tennessee if you loved Dixie Stampede.
Dunkin gift card is heaven for you.
I remember the Dolly Parton building, though never actually saw the show. I do remember it wasn’t open for long and understand because Dolly refused to sell alcohol, though I’m not too sure how true that statement is.
We always found that the Character Warehouse is always it and miss.
My wife and I were in the Trafford Centre yesterday (May 13th) and as we looked round we both said it just reminded us of the Malls in Florida especially The Mall at Millennia.
Your Under Armour jacket was nice, but I was more surprised to see you in shorts rather than a skirt or dress. 😊
I would have been more surprised if Epcot wasn’t your first park to visit and like Dunkin are a tradition for you.
I’m sure you’ll get September one day.
Enjoyable as usual and shared with such a lovely friend.
Love our Applebees catch ups and Epcot strolls! 🫶🏻
