Theres a phone number on any disney merchandise reciept that you may have held onto....you can call that # and tell them what you saw and where you saw it (or heard about)and they will mail it to you.

That would be excellent...if I knew what I was "looking" for. I have no idea what they have.

Not to defend Disney Merchandising, but I used to manage a clothing store here in LA(Lower Alabama) and it is almost impossible to find large merchandise to sell. There are no shirt factories left in this country, and the overseas factories for some reason have stopped making big and tall merchandise. We used to beg the vendors for Big and Tall shirts and they just didn't have it. Chances are the tees and knits Disney sells are manufactured by some large clothing company and the Disney label is added. So Disney has little say in what sizes are available. It is sad really.

I agree. When I had my store in Alabama, I had to go to a special manufacturer in the US to make those sizes. Usually, the customer did not want to pay that amount of money for the item, so I made few sales in that category.

there are three outlet stores that usually have (unfortunately little or no fort stuff) the larger sizes in bulk at really good prices...

We usually hit those locations as well. One year I bought a polo shirt at WOD that has Sorcerer Mickey on it. I think it cost $40. The next year we saw it at Character Merchandising for $10. They had a rack of 3x. I kick myself for not getting a couple more. Now, when I see it I get it because you never know if they'll have it when you go back. Our first trip to the Meadows TP last August I bought all my shirts at once since they were in stock.

That would be excellent...if I knew what I was "looking" for. I have no idea what they have.

Unless things have changed they don't know what they have as well. I believe their online system only has descriptions of items not pictures. They can look things up that way but you have to know what it is you want. They can also look up items using the sku codes. I now keep the tags from the shirts in case I want to get more. I believe shipping is still $10 per order.

When I went to the stores at the campground, I wasn't looking for souveneirs (sp). They had basic supplies: milk, bread, some diapers, fruit, cereal some canned goods,etc. The prices were high-- but if you need it? I could have restocked enough to get us to the next decent grocery store.
