That sound perfect for the shopping . Did you book before you went or whilst there? Want to have a look just to be nosey really, so doing all the big names in one go would be great.

I booked before I went, they run on a Friday and it was something like $35. You got maybe 2 hours in Walmart then a stop for brunch which was ok. Then a couple of hours at the premium outlets then I think 3 hours at Florida mall. The pick up and drop off was downtown Disney. You can keep all your bags on the bus from each stop then struggle to a taxi rank at downtown Disney with your many purchases to get back to your hotel.
I did it on my own so it was excellent for me.

next year will be our first year with a car, the past two times we had no car.

you can get a bus from Downtown Disney to Seaworld, its $4.50 pp for all day return. (be sure to have the correct change) once at Seaworld walk to the end of the carpark and you'll see a phone (its got a discovery cove sign), where you can phone for a free shuttle to take you to discovery cove. its round the corner from Seaworld.

As for Universal, you can get a bus (again from Downtown Disney), but you have to change over somewhere, it can be a hassle but its cheap. It wont get you their on time for a early bird entry if you have one. first year I spent $50 for a private car one way from VH, the next time it was $9 pp each way with a Mears shuttle, way cheaper, easy to arrange 24 hours before and can get you their for whenever you want.

if you want to look into buses you can find a bus service map which will show you all the routes each bus take, again very cheap but can can take a bit longer to get their but not by much
