Anyone order March Madness shirts?

[mjh2901]

I ordered 2 march madness shirts from the disney store on 3/15/2016. They have yet to ship. I have contacted them twice and gotten the canned we will notify you when shipped response. I am just checking if anyone else ordered and received the T-Shirts or is disney collecting the money prior to actually producing the product. A month seems a long time to ship something out of the warehouse.

I had ordered one of the Haunted Mansion stretching t-shirts last year for Halloween. I think I ordered it in August (I'm not exactly sure of timing but I know I called them when 2 months passed) when they were for sale for a few weeks. We got it well after Halloween. I do think they are taking orders before they print them. I wouldn't hold your breath.

The product page said allow 3 to 5 weeks for delivery. They stopped selling the last designs on April 10 (according to the Parks Blog post), so while the product page said 3-5 weeks from order date, these limited release shirts seem ship based on the last sale date (so, I'd go with 5 weeks from around April 10). I do also think they take the orders prior to printing the shirts.

I also ordered several shirts. The product page at the time said allow 5-7 weeks...I ordered at the very start of the tournament, so it has now been a little over a month. I checked (via Facebook messaging) when the tournament was over to see if they had a more precise shipping date and got the "we'll email you when they ship" response. It does appear that these are pre-paid orders that they charged well before producing the product. May 7 will be the 7 week mark, so if I haven't gotten an email by then, I plan to call and ask for some actual useful information. I'll be headed to DL at the middle/end of May and would really like them to arrive in time for this trip, as there's one I particularly want to wear one of my days in the park.

I remember folks wondering about when the items would ship/arrive last year as well. It seemed like everyone got the standard response when they inquired with guest services, but a few folks got CMs who didn't know anything about the longer than normal delivery time and offered to cancel the order for them because the items were shown as "sold out". So when you do call, make sure the CM doesn't cancel the order because it's outside the "normal" shipping time frame.

Last year, I ordered the shirts on March 20th (first week available) and the ship dates were between May 7th and May 11th. The tournaments started on about the same day (March 15th this year and March 16th last year), so I would guess the shirts will ship sometime in early May.

Same here. And I could've SWORN I saw two people in March Magic tees in Disneyland yesterday, but I guess they could've been last year's tees? I think they did them last year as well?

Yes, they had March Magic t-shirts last year. The designs were different, but similar enough that at quick glance it would be hard to tell them apart.

Thanks for that detailed info. Gives me hope that my order will arrive in time. I ordered a Dole Whip tee and I so want to wear it while I'm at DL.

I was wearing mine this March and spotted a couple of others too - mainly Fantasmic and Haunted Mansion.

I ordered one last year and it took forever and a day to arrive as well. I believe sometime mid May like Figment said above. I hope you get yours in time for your trip!

Got a shipping notification for mine yesterday. They are due to arrive Tuesday. So happy I'll have my Dole Whip tee for my DLR trip next month!
