I'm hoping a local store will be able to remove it, but why inexpensive socks even have a sensor on them, when other higher value items did not, I don't understand.

I honestly wasn't sure what to expect, but it ended up being a fun little roadside stop that's worth checking out. While I expected it to be all about oranges, it's actually a souvenir shop with a small section dedicated to citrus products, along with a much larger selection of classic Florida and Disney-themed gifts, apparel, and keepsakes. It's a great place to browse if you're looking to bring home a souvenir from your trip. Outside, there's a fresh fruit stand where you can sample some of the citrus before you buy. Everything tasted fresh, and if you're traveling home, they even offer shipping so you can send Florida's famous oranges and other goodies directly to your doorstep. It's a quick stop, but a charming one. Whether you're looking for souvenirs, fresh fruit, or just want to check out one of Florida's classic roadside attractions, Orange World is a fun little gem that's worth pulling over for.

I love a classic roadside attraction, and what could be better than a giant orange in the heart of…read moreCentral Florida? Eli's Orange World in Kissimmee is impossible to miss. Rising along U.S. Highway 192, the enormous fiberglass orange is one of those quirky roadside landmarks that makes you want to stop and take a picture. The story of Orange World dates back to 1971, when Eli Sfassie moved from Indiana to Florida and opened a Texaco gas station near the newly opened Walt Disney World. To take advantage of the growing number of tourists traveling through the area, he began selling souvenirs from the station's service bay. In 1988, Sfassie transformed the building into a giant orange at a cost of about $6,000. The resulting structure stands approximately 60 feet tall and has been promoted as the World's Largest Orange. In 2004, strong winds from hurricane Charley reportedly tore a giant decorative crystal ball from the nearby Giant Wizard gift shop. The enormous ball crashed onto the roof of Orange World, leaving a dent in the structure. According to local lore, the crystal ball was never found. In 2017 the giant orange has even appeared in Sean Baker's critically acclaimed film The Florida Project, adding to the colorful roadside scenery surrounding the movie's setting. Orange World suffered another setback in March 2023 when a fire broke out in the storage area above the gift shop, causing significant smoke damage to the interior. For a time, merchandise was sold outside while repairs were underway. The remodeled interior reopened in October 2024, bringing the attraction back to full operation. Today, Orange World sells fresh citrus, juice, orange trees, snacks, cookies, candy, honey, alligator jerky, sauces, jams and jellies, and a huge selection of Florida-themed souvenirs. Inside, you'll find plenty of inexpensive souvenir clothing, T-shirts, Disney and Universal merchandise, gifts, and other tourist memorabilia. I was surprised by how expensive the orange juice was. It was $3.50 for a small cup. Gallons were $14.99. While I absolutely love the giant orange itself, have to admit that I found the inside somewhat underwhelming. For me, the exterior is the star of the show. There is just something wonderfully nostalgic about this giant orange. If you enjoy quirky roadside attractions, classic Florida kitsch, and places that are fun to photograph, Eli's Orange World is definitely worth a quick stop. It's the kind of wonderfully odd attraction that is so Florida.

We were exploring the College Park neighborhood the other day and popped in close to when they first opened. There's lots to browse and I fell in love with a fun print from their summer collection that just had to come home with me. They work with some really talented artists and this picnic print was speaking my love language. Champagne, oysters, tinned fish, olives, cheese... yes please! The perfect addition to my office setup. I highly recommend checking out this shop the next time you're in College Park, and you can also find them inside East End Market!

I would make a point to stop in this store just to refill my water bottle if needed and browze around. When I first walked in there were two ladies and the front area who offered to help me find anything in particular. I was really just browsing around so I didn't need any help but they were friendly. They did have a clearance area in the very back of the store on the wall so be sure to check that area out to see if you can find a good value item.

Upon entering the store the first thing you notice is that it is very well lit, and there is a lot of merchandise. I took my time and looked through pretty much everything. I wasn't looking for anything in particular but quite often, I will find items in these stores that make good gifts as well as items that I would like for myself even if I don't get them. They have a lot of Disney themed items as well as Hello Kitty. Currently they have a whole line of Peanuts items featuring Snoopy. I did see some things that I liked, but nothing that jumped out at me and I found quite a few items that people I know would probably enjoy. While I did not buy anything on this trip there were a lot of items that I will keep in mind with birthdays that are coming up in a few months. Inventory does turn over very quickly in these stores and sometimes there are things we will find on one trip and then never see you again. For collectors you really need to figure out if you want to just buy it now before you can't find it again. The employees were very friendly, but they were in the middle of rearranging quite a bit of inventory when I was there. I do shop through the location in the Florida mall frequently and have been known to stop at the location that is nearby. The mall and it was just nice to find another location down here and I have already recommended it to some people, I know that enjoy a lot of the items that they get in these stores.
