Help a Brit with her shopping list?

[kat777]

I wasn't sure where this thread should go so I hope this is okay...

We're planning to go to Walmart and/or Target on our first day to get stuff for the villa as well as toiletries to save having to lug it all the way out there long haul. I'm pretty fussy though and just wanted to check I'd be able to get certain things. I know some of the brands I use are US based (have to import some of it anyway!), but I'm not sure how easily available they are/if they can be found in the stores we're headed to.

I'll be looking for:

Olay Total Effects Touch of Sunshine (day & night)
Nexxus Phyto-organics shampoo
L'Anza Trauma Treatment
Pureology Colormax
Pantene Texture and Shine Defining Pomade
Dove Summer Glow SPF 15

If anyone uses or has seen any of these or just knows they'd be likely to be in stores it would be a big help so I know what to take and what I can safely leave at home. If there are similar alternative products I should look out for, that'd be good to know too.

Oh, and will I be able to get insect repellent, antibacterial hand stuff, and wipes in mini versions?

These are probably really silly questions. I'm sure you have ten times the product choice that we have over here, but I'm in panic mode. We just hit single figures. I'm not ready!

yes, to this, at our Wal*Mart the mini versions have been at the check out..

No, these are not silly questions...Have a great and magical trip

At Target, they usually have an aisle with the premium shampoos, and I have seen Purology and Nexxus there. So I'd go to Target.

You probably won't need insect repellent, as I've never used it at Disney before.

You can pick up food items at the super Target (I forget the address, but someone may be able to help you out here or on another web page). I always pick up some wines and breakfast items, as well as frozen chicken strips and stuff for the kids, pasta and such, there. It's cheaper than at the villas.

You will find the wipes there I think in the aisle with toilet paper and paper towels. They will have the tubs and the individual wrapped ones.

Thank you both so much...one less thing to worry about...I now have a shopping list and hardly anything I need to bring from home.

Thank you again
