Janell- I went to the one last April and there was a bunch of stuff on sale. Id say it was probably older merchandise but lots of t shirts, sweatshirts, coffee mugs, stuffed animals, kids jammies, purses ( I didnt see any Dooneys like some people did. Alot of $5 bins.We came home with a bunch of stuff and you get your AP discount.

What kind of crowd does this usually attract? Is it a "be there and get in line early" situation?

yes - if you want to get the free gift and/or have the widest selection of merchandise.

I thing they are simply making the same sale available to D23 members as they are to AP holders. It's par for the course these days - they treat both groups as mutualy exclusive in order to capture the widest audience.

Unfortunately I will have to miss this AGAIN because i have a previous engagement I must attend (involves a trombone and two cross town rivals in Pasadena):)

We just happened to be at the DLR that weekend last year with DFF4 and family. The lines were crazy long before the store even opened. I wasn't brave enough to stand there. If I remember correctly, DFF4 did though.

yeah - the sale starts at 630 - I would not get there any later than 5 if you want to be sure. first 1000 should be covered.. not saying that 1000 will be there at 5, but it could be several hundred.

went to the last one they had during the summer, they wouldn't let people line up early like 0400, closer to 0600.
the special gift was MM ears that said the big cheese on them and had Mickey's signature. Everyone in the group had to have an AP.

I'm planning on going again in December, who am I to turn down something on sale???

The small print says not to line up before 6:00am

will the parking structure be open early for this? The park doesn't open until 8:00am so usually that means the parking structure doesn't open until 7:00am

I'm trying to get some details from Disney about parking and such for this event. I'll post what I learn here.

I went to this last year. We had to park in DtD. It was free and for longer than 3 hours (or whatever the time limit is). I got there super early to get the free thing. It turned out to be a Vinalmation thing. I don't collect them but the kids thought it was interesting. Anyway, the stuff "on sale" was actually stuff from the Character Warehouse that was marked UP. Yeah, seriously. :rolleyes: Nothing really mind blowing. Now that is my opinion so please take it as such and do what is best for you. Maybe they will do better this year. I just felt bad for the people grabbing the stuff up like it was such a great savings, when they could have gotten it for much less just up the road.

Hi! I just want to make this clear. My nieces/nephews all want to shop that day but they are not AP holders. I read in the release that...

"AP guests may bring family and friends. One person in the party must present a valid Annual Passport to enter the World of Disney® Store for the early shopping opportunity"

Is there a limit to how many I can bring with me?

Oh, jeez. I had totally planned on doing this, but if that's really the case, forget it. I would be so aggravated.

I see. If that's how it is then we should be good since there'll be 4 of us overall. Thanks a lot!
