Want the Best Selection? Shop Early
If you have something specific on your list, like a particular clothing size, popular toy, stroller or baby item, consider purchasing an early-access ticket for Thursday.
The earlier shopping windows give you access before general admission begins, while Friday and Saturday offer free general admission with an online reservation.
If your main goal is finding the lowest prices, check out the half-price shopping opportunities Saturday evening and Sunday morning.
