Ok, so I am back from my reconnaissance mission in Clinton! I am happy to report that they did have Disney dooney's and I took photos of the selection. It was mostly inaugural dream bags and the colorful mickeys, but there was one tonal wristlet (which I did not photo) and one little beauty that did come home with me
Here are the photos

and last but not least- my purchase!
I was thrilled that they had the wallet, I've really been wanting one! I am currently using my tonal wristlet as a wallet, so now I have the dilemma whether I should sell my barely used wristlet, or just go ahead and keep it!
All the bags at the outlet were 40% off, so that means I got the wallet for $105 before tax. Considering most of the ones I've seen on ebay go for almost twice that, I'd consider this quite a score.
My only disappointment was that the sales lady, (who also is a big Disney fan!), told me that they had two champ sacs that morning, and had sold both of them!

I was really wanting a champ sac!
But, the silver lining is that she added my name to an e-mail list and she will alert us when new bags come in. Maybe next time I am up in CT that champ sac will be mine!
I was shopping with my mom, who does a lot of traveling, and consequently a lot of shopping at outlet malls, and she is now on a mission to find more Disney Dooneys, so it is good to have a partner in crime.
All in all I think my day shopping was way more productive than getting ready for a silly hurricane, don't you agree!
