The Premium outlets near me already have their hours posted on their website, including the stores that open earlier then midnight. 1 year I did it & it was complete & total chaos, worse then Walmart on BF, I swore I wouldn't do it again. I did brave it again last year and my hubby stayed (snored) in the car while my sil & I went around to the stores. Expecting the crowds definitely helped me prepare, more mentally then anything else. We had a great time. We'd finish an area, drop the packages off to dh & then he would drive us to the farther end (ours outlet is split by a road), then he drove out to a lot outside of the outlets & went back to snoring I scored some great deals.
