Okay - I know that we will be facing incredible heat, humidity, rain and bugs.  So here are my questions:

I have seen over and over the recommendation to purchase the little water fan that runs on batteries.  I used to have one of these, but really have no clue where it is.  So, I have also heard I can get them at walmart.  But where on earth in walmart will I find this?  What section?

As for bugs - what kinds of bugs are we talking about?  I will pick up bug spray, but want to get the best one for the location.

Thanks,

Leanne

Try Skin So Soft for bug spray, it smells a little nicer than just Off. As for the fans, I know I've seen them in Wal-Mart but can't think of where....maybe with all the summer stuff?

I think they are with the outside stuff (like balls and bubbles).

I bought Off that smells like Skin So Soft.  It's no longer exclusive to Avon.  Leanne, I think you and I are in trouble with the bugs!  We're so used to having so little bugs here in CO and CA has like NO bugs!  But back east...yikes!

Yeah, I thought I had seen Off Skin So Soft....but I always just use regular Off 'cause the only time we use it is when we're camping or fishing and I don't care what I smell like. Well, aside from camping at WDW, I'll care then! LOL

I got the water misters today - they were by hardware, with the fans, and I was expecting to pay $1 each but that is for mini fans - not misters.  So, I bought two of the misting fans for $6 each.  They will fit in my backpack, and should help keep us cool.

So Walmart sells the Skin so soft bug spray now?  I will have to look for that!

I really have never noticed the bugs being an issue. We never take bug spray

K-that's good to hear!!!

L-yes, Walmart sells Off which has teamed up with Skin So Soft.  It's in a clear bottle that says Off in big letters, but SsS in small ones under Off.

Thanks Mynde - I will check that out!  I am very happy to have our misters too!

You have never noticed the bugs Kristi?  Do you have none where you are from?

I lived in South Carolina as a girl and I have stories I could tell you about the bugs.  That is a time I will never forget!

Both times I went in the summer, I NEVER even saw a bug. I believe Disney has lasers that kills bugs within so many feet of the park.
