My friend & I went at about 230 am. Big ticket items were NOT to be touched until 5am, but other items were ok to get, like the $3 pjs. I got my cart, got all that I wanted (wasn't after big ticket items) & waited until 5am to check out. I was actually 2nd in my line. I have to give it to my local Walmart, the managers & staff handled everything well. Everyone lined up without any problems, there were no fights, they gave out free coffee to some that HAD to stay in line for the big stuff & they kept us informed about what was going on. My local store is not 24 hrs, so I hope they do what they did last year. Having the store open 24 hrs and being able to get in early to get what I wanted was a + ....I was out of there by 535 (well, at least I was out of the check out line; I had to wait for my friend who got stuck in the back of her line )
