American Attractions Shopping trip?

I have been looking at the shopping extravanza on the American attractions site. Going solo so I thought it would be a nice trip off site.

Has anyone done this trip and can anyone advise me of what hotels on site they pick up from ?

Hi,

This page looks to be exactly the same trip (same itinerary) so I guess they are the same supplier.

isango/orlando/flori...m-orlando_7452

It lists pick up points as:
Lake Buena Vista Resort at 08:40am
Hotel Beds Homes Office at 08:30am
Maingate Lakeside Resort at 08:25am
Disney All Star Music at 08:20am
Cirque du Soleil at 08:00am
Quality Inn International at 07:30am
Sizzler at 07:40am
Double Tree Resort at 07:50am

Walmart for 1 hour 15 mins

Crickets arms for a brunch sandwich

prem outlets for 2 and 1/2 hours

then onto the florida mall for 3 hours

all for £ 36 a person

I suspect you would be able t do it cheaper with Uber and do it in your own time

But its not a massive amount of money, you get a sandwich in with it

It depends if it floats your boat, i'd find it stressful being on a constant time limit.

I'd much prefer to go solo with an uber but can understand if you wouldnt want to (i've had a couple of dodgy ubers over the years!)

DD2 and I did this excursion in 2014 - enjoyed it but would have liked longer in Walmart. Enjoyed the Florida Mall but we felt very embarrassed getting back on the coach as most people had about 3 bags of shopping whilst my daughter and I had about 10 each😳😁.

If it's the Florida dolphin tour I have done it 3 times. Once on my own.
I liked it. It was great when I was on my own. Lots of shopping, taken from place to place and then returned to Disney.
For a single shopper that doesn't drive it's great.

This was who my daughter and I went with. We stayed at The Clarion and our pick up point was outside Cirque du Soleil but on the way back the tour guide and driver were very good and dropped everyone off at their individual hotels😃. We have booked to go again next Sept but it looks as though breakfast at The Cricketers Arms is no longer included🙁.

I prefer to go shopping solo and as I won't be hiring a car I'll be using Lynx transportation (always have done... and already have my Lynx passes).
