  1. you could not use it in any of the attractions, or at night for the parade, the flash was not strong enough for low light or no light picture taking Cinderella's Castle one in broad daylight http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f137/Illinoismom/th_101_1350.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f137/Illinoismom/th_101_1114.jpg

There are several good Kodak camara's you need to read reviews, I bought my daughter one last year at BB that is pink, It takes great pictures inside with lots of light and out doors are great, But it did not work in low light at Disney or outside with verylittle light they all came out either very dark or black

  7. I know that sams club has the nikon L18 for 89.99 reg 149.00 at other stores
  8. I will still disagree with you, Do you have children? I know in the 20 years I used layaway my oldest is 21, I never had to run from store to store to find what they wanted as things got sold out, I already had it on layawy. Everything is not about money. Layaway served a purpose and it is missed.
  9. I buy what I can afford, I am just glad my kids even thought they have Name brands, they could care less
  10. I believe that this comment is insulting to a lot of people besides me, You have no idea what a persons reason's are to use layaway. I manage what little money I have just fine thank you, But I also with the help of Layaway saved a tremendous amount of maney every year, along with time and problems finding those hard to find toys my 4 children would want. I know with Layaway from Oct through Dec I paid walmart 1000.00 for what was on layaway. You are very condisending and insulting

  22. BE CAREFUL When BUYING GIFT CARDS this holiday. It would be better to give cash or a present. Here's why. Stores across America are being scheduled to close after the Christmas season due to economic difficulties and bankruptcy. If the store closes, the gift cards would be no good. Here are some of the announced closings. Of course these companies would love you to give them money for a gift card that would be no good later on. Perhaps some home made jam or a $5 bill would be safer, since once a store declares bankruptcy they don't have to honor their gift cards. Better yet, give the gift of food storage.
