has nothing been released as far as tshirts for may 4? its only 5 days away. Im almost sure DL will have them in the DTD location near the AMC theater like always but haven't they usually posted them by now or am i just overly bored today?

yes, she's signing Her Universe merchandise every weekend so at least we know that she will be here
Maybe she just won't do an autograph session that weekend and that's why she's not on the Disney list

nothing, they usually don't announce anything for small things like a release of a shirt and pin
EDIT TO ADD: I did a quick search on the DPB and last year nothing was announced for May the 4th but they did have the shirt and pin. They announced for 2013 but that was because there was a special "Limited Time Magic" event for it

if your child is part of the show you will have a reserved area to sit. They will tell you when you need to be at the theater .
If your child is not in the show then standby is about an hour because it is very, very popular and on weekend V it'll only be performed once.

Ok, so silly question... I have FP right now for Ray Park show. If we did manage to sign up kids to be in the show, can I then cancel my FP and choose something else to use it on since we'd have reserved seats?

Not silly...I was contemplating doing the exact same thing.

I love the 4th and 5th pins! I'm guessing they'll only be out for the 4th/5th and not still available Weekend I, right?

probably not able to really browse, more like know what you want and get it...or go back later in the day and browse. I usually take about an hour inside the Mall the first time just because I like checking everything out.
Are you just unsure on where it is exactly?

A bit unsure on where all 3 spots are, and wondering what I'm really going to be able to get done in that small amount of VIP time -- I was hoping not to have to brave the mall at another time!! We're there May 16-17, with VIP on May 17...

ETA: maybe I should try to get in there on May 16 to get a sense of what we might want to buy?? I feel like I saw some merch previewed at SWC online... but not sure how comprehensive that was. I wish I had a full catalog ahead of time!

ok a bit on/off topic since it evolves DHS. Your favorite snack there not during SWW, and favorite snack there during the SWW. Whats your favorite QS, that has good food and MIGHT be calm in case we need to grab something which i dont think will be the case.

(OMG wheres my mind today sorry for the incorrect word)

The stores will be inside the old AFI and I think they are also using the old Prop Shop (was part of the Backlot Tour queue) Are you interested in any of the LE items, you can see them from the link on the first page. That should be your priority if you want them

is this a typo? not sure what you mean.
Favorite QS: Backlot Express because it has the refillable machines for drinks, we only use it for water, sometimes Powerade and cold tea. The food at all the QS are pretty much the same. My second favorite is ABC Commisary. Both are these are A/C big plus.
Favorite snack: Carrot cake cookie from Writer's Stop and Jalapeño Pretzels from the pretzels stands.

Ok, during SWW you cannot beat the Darth Vader cupcake

Vader cupcake is better then dark side cookies. I like pretzels otherwise or fruit.

The pins match the shirts so that's what the shirts will look like.
