Synopsis
Of the hordes who make their way to the metro Orlando area every year, it’s safe to say that shopping is not the draw. Still, 25 million people of those who come for the Mouse make time for shopping. In fact, theme parks now provide shoppertainment as well as shows and rides, and retailers all over town are shouting “me, too!” Describing and pinpointing the best shopping in every tourist-worthy neighborhood, from Celebration and Downtown Disney to Universal and Winter Park, this little guide shows that serious retail therapy is never far away—and is the perfect antidote to attraction overload.
