You can only buy them at the American Girl Shop at Florida Mall. We were "lucky" that my DD (8 at time) was not impressed with them and prefers her Design-a-Friend from Argos but partly as she could not find one that matched her eye/hair colour/length !

I really recommend going to the cafe at the American Girl shop. You can book a table online in advance. The doll is given a special chair and gets a small cup and saucer that you can keep. The food was lovely and relatively inexpensive (unlike the dolls ) We have booked to go back again this year.

The café sounds lovely but not sure if my 3 boys would be too impressed having lunch with a doll Not sure what they'd do there instead

My DD8 also has a Design a friend doll. She loves it, it looks just like her and she calls it her little sister.
Last year we walked right by the American Girl shop in NYC and she wasn't remotely interested, she didn't even want to go in and look - thankfully! For anyone looking for a more affordable alternative, I would definitely recommend Design a Friend.

When I was out there last Easter, I had to get the wheelchair and crutch set for a colleague at work but had to bribe my 10 year old grandson something from Toys R Us before he would step foot in the store. It's a very impressive store though.

we went with my daughter in May and we bought a doll, outfit hairbrush and hair styling kit OMG!
She is already planning on what she is getting when we go back next year and is hoping santa is going to bring her some accessories (luckily me & the Hubby are heading to NYC in Nov so a bit of xmas shopping at American Girl while were there)

Excited about Disney
|
My DD6 is obsessed with these dolls! She's been watching them on you tube and we plan to go to Florida Mall to visit the store. We don't have a car so is it easier to just get Uber taxi from POR to Florida Mall? She's already chosen which Doll she's going to buy!

We'll be there again shortly with the credit card melting😳
Fortunately she got the doll of the year when we went to NY in February so only wants accessories, clothing etc this time for her birthday. Wants to get next years doll when we return at Easter😕

If you got a voucher for Florida Mall from your ticket agent, then make sure you change it at guest services first, I'm sure if you bought a doll you got a free outfit. As the heavens opened when we were inside the shop we popped in the cafe for a drink, it was pretty empty and they have a little box of cards with questions on each table ..which actually my 15 year old DS thought were fun. You can keep the ties round the napkins on the table as they double up as hair ties, so Dd was happy and they did tea so I was happy too
