The days ends with complimentary appetizers and beverages at one of the selected restaurants in the area, such as Tavern on the Lake, Taverna Opa or Tap Room at Dubsdread.
The Mall at Millenia (Orlando’s swankiest shopping center) offers the “Millenia Experience” package which includes a one-on-one image consultation, personal shopping, valet service and star treatment at some of the center’s most upscale retailers. Also included in the package is a Mall at Millenia gift card and lunch at one of the mall’s popular restaurants such as P.F.

At Orlando Premium Outlets serious shoppers opt for the Personal Fashion Stylist Package. Guests meet with author and national stylist, Jackie Walker, to determine personal style and then they take a VIP shopping tour of Orlando Premium Outlets.
