Sam's Club(R) Celebrates Spring With Gift Packages Showcasing Value, Entertainment and the Upcoming Disney-Pixar Film WALL-E

BENTONVILLE, Ark., April 8, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- Sam's Club reveals today the details of its annual gift packages online and featured in its Spring Catalog. Sam's Club members can choose from two "Once-in-a-Lifetime" packages; an Eco Home Makeover or a behind-the-scenes Animation-Lover Dream Vacation to coincide with the release of the new Disney-Pixar film WALL-E on June 27, 2008, about a loveable robot and his outer space adventure.

The Eco Home Makeover will transform any house into a high-efficiency home with a wide array of Eco-friendly products, technology and style. Homeowners may choose to relax and wait for the big reveal with a week-long stay at the Inn by the Sea, a LEED Certified resort in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. This package is priced at $44,000 and its estimated value is over $100,000, giving the purchaser an estimated savings of $56,000.

The Eco Home Makeover sources the latest technology including a residential grade solar photovoltaic energy system and wind energy system to reduce the home's dependency on electricity without sacrificing aesthetics and decor. The interior will also be outfitted with everything from the latest in high-efficiency energy saving eco-appliances and electronics from GE(R). The package also includes a selection of Sam's Club Green Living products.

To celebrate the reveal of Eco Home, Sam's Club is also including a housewarming party for the purchaser. In addition, the homeowner will star in an episode of the PBS series Building Green. The segment will chronicle the conversion of an average house into a sustainable, eco-friendly and high-efficiency home that will serve as an example of what one household can do to reduce their monthly bills and their impact on the environment.

The Animation-Lover Dream Vacation will take one Sam's Club member and three guests to the world premiere of the highly anticipated Disney-Pixar film WALL-E. They will travel to Los Angeles for the world premiere of the film, take a tour of Walt Disney Animation Studios in Burbank, and meet with an animator.
