365 Adventures in 2011: Day 183 – A little Halloween on International Drive

While out exploring today, I spotted a Halloween store on the north/east end of International Drive, just before the Festival Bay Mall. It’s in a shopping plaza and I just barely saw the orange and black sign while driving past. So I quickly did a U-turn and headed in for a little taste of Halloween in July!

The store is mostly filled with costumes, masks, and accessories, though it does have some decorations in the back. I didn’t buy anything today, though I was tempted to pick up a neat Freddy Krueger tombstone they had. Unfortunately it was $100, which was way more than I wanted to pay. I found it online tonight for $70.

I’ll have to return soon. It’s one of very few places in Orlando where I can enjoy Halloween before the Spirit stores start popping up in September. Apparently this store has been around for a year! I wish I’d known sooner.
