Should I order from DisneyShopping.com now or wait?

So we booked the 'Ohana character breakfast for 12/4 and I thought it would be cute for my DDs to wear the Lilo costumes from DisneyDirect (DisneyShopping, whatever the heck it's called!)--I think the costumes are so adorable and would get lots of extra wear from them playing dress up. Right now I can get both costumes and accessories sets for $59 using the 25% Disney Visa discount and free tax/shipping deal that is going on...I am guessing the costume is pretty popular because it is only marked down $5 off retail (and am I right that it was MUCH cheaper a few weeks back and then got marked back up?) so even with the extra 25% off I am not saving THAT much. So should I take a risk and wait until after Halloween when things go on clearance? I would need an XXS and an XS. Not sure what I should do...I'm inclined to wait and if I am not able to get them then it just means that I wasn't meant to spend my money on MORE costumes for my children What would you do?

You're taking a chance that the costume will be available and in the size you want after Halloween. So - it just depends on how badly you want THAT costume.

It's all a guessing game and a gamble. I'm willing to bet that on Oct. 10th (the day after the free shipping / no tax sale), the costumes get marked down again--or a discount code will get emailed to some folks. BUT.....I also think that by the end of this weekend, many of these costumes and sizes will be gone because of the free ship / no tax deal. You may be able to find those costumes on Ebay, for less than Disneydirect even with shipping.

Do you live near a Disney store? Are they carrying it? Last year, the in-stock costumes at the store were at least 40% BEFORE Halloween. Unless you absolutely have to have that one, I would wait and check out the store.
