Our place is close the 192 Wal-Mart and I made the mistake of going on a Saturday night. I will NEVER do that again. I was there for 3 hours! The wait at the check out was real bad.

From what I have been told is that is the highest grossing Wal-Mart in the the US. It is certainly more crowed than the one I use up here in Mass.

I agree about Saturday crowds, but in this particular Wal-Mart you seem to get everything under the sun (maybe even the sun itself if you look hard enough ) under one roof. I don't mind living close to it since it is open 24-hours and you can 'pop over' to buy almosy anything when you run out of it.

I have heard that the UK Wal-Marts will eventually shed the 'ASDA' label and go the US way in terms of stocking goods. By the way our local Wal-Mart in west Swindon is growing, I can very well believe it.

Great news about the Walmart on the US27 opening in October. It is very close to our villa on High Grove. Given the amount of time I will be spending in there when the villa is complete I will probably be able to produce a chart of the best times of day or night to visit

Well we are villa owners on Indian Point, two minutes from the 192 Walmart and LOVE IT! It is busy but you could spend a whole day just wandering around it! Have never really had to shop elsewhere for food. Do you know that some tour operators run excursions to the Walmart!!! That's how popular it is and its open 24 hours a day which means that you can shop to your hearts content (and very quietly!!!) at 4 am on your first days when the jet lag is at its worst. Don't miss the donughts - absolutely wonderful and just $2 for a box of 12!!!

Our Nanny, who holidays with us, has a picture of Walmart on her screensaver - she loves it that much!

The Walmart on H27 just ouside southern dunes is great, they have everything and more of what you want.

Hi all,

I don't think I've shopped anywhere but the WalMart by our villa on Southern Dunes Golf & Country Club Estate, on H27.

It's brilliant - you can get anything from food to diamonds to engine oil and now to English Newspapers!

The most I've queued was Easter 03 when I think we waited 30 mins to get through the tills. I think everyone was stocking up for the Easter holidays - both tourists and locals. The Walmart staff only like to pack 3 items in a carrier bag which also slows the process down!

Never mind - good job I'm usually in holiday mode - which is pretty laid back for a change!

I go to Walmart (192) at 7am. There is never a queue and it is empty. I find it really hard to adjust to the time differance so im in bed every night at 10pm and up by 6am. Also do the Home depot shop at that time as well.

I agree that early morning is the best time for Walmart shopping. I get up fairly early when in Florida and drive down to our local Walmart at the entrance of Southern Dunes (H27). In fact it is the only place I have the courage to drive to!!

There is one on the osceola parkway and the queue are nothing like the one on the 192, plus all the checkouts are not manned by Mexicans who can't speak English.
