THIS JUST IN..... (probably too late for most of you who are travelling).
The Tiki Room Mugs and Shirts have been limited to 2 per guest. Hopefully this will curb the hoarders!!!!

I'm a Di-nee-lan annual passholder and would love to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with ya'll, but getting there at 6:00 a.m.! Ouch. I admire your fortitude, but I'll just have to admire and secretly covet your newly acquired tiki mugs.
Good luck and keep cool, I think it's gonna be a scorcher tomorrow.

Nobody answered the 10% off for pass holders question.
Does anyone know?
KuKuiNut does not want to get up if she does not have to.
Time is running out, run fast, jump, hurry??!!

I'm sorry I kicked off the whole 6 a.m. thing. It's just that coming from Florida tonight, I'll be up way before then anyway, thanks to the magical 3 hour time difference. I didn't even know if you could walk up to the gates then when I originally posted.
As luck would have it, I talked to one of the fine guest services people and it turns out that the pedestrian gates to the esplinade(sp?) do in fact open at 6 a.m., so we can do it. Odd that the parking opens up later...
Chances are, since the lot doesn't open until 7:00, there's not going to be a whole lot of people (other than me) at 6:00. So if you want to show up a little later, it probably won't hurt anything.
Me, I'm getting there extra extra extra early because I want a crack at one of the original paintings. One is within the limit on my credit card, and if I'm going to pay 14% interest on something, it may as well be something good!

I just came back to drop off the stuff at the hotel -- what a morning!
No original for me (they were sold to the first 4 people in line), but the rest of the merch is very well done, very high quality stuff.
The line is still stretched down Main Street and wrapped in front the Opera House, and it's now 12:00.
Many TC'ers are there and we're all planning on hitting the Tiki Room at 3pm today to cause a rukus.
Shag made it on time and has been signing away like crazy. As it turns out, of the limited edition items had cards that were numbered and signed anyway. Nice guy, but what do you say to him?
I'm heading back to DL for some fun. See you tonight at the Hawaiian Room!

Very interesting morning at Disneyland. Meet one guy who came to the show from Japan! When the gates opened at 8:00 it was off to the races. Everyone was running so fast you would of thought that the Playboy Playmates were marching down Main Street Nude. Fun day for sure!

I had fun and got some cool stuff. Disney didn't handle the load of people very well which created a pretty slow moving line. The certainly weren't expecting the turnout that they got. The line didn't seem as bad as it should have because of all the nice folks I passed the time with.
Monkey Man - sorry I didn't call you again, I misplaced your number.

I second that. Couldn't have been a better bunch of people to stand in line with for hours and hours.
I went back again after the lines were gone and if anyone is interested, they're still taking orders on the goblets and there seemed to be some shirts and neck charms left as well!
Nice meeting everyone!
Aloha

I didn't get to make it to Disneyland that morning since I was at the airport picking up the wife, but I did hear later on that evening, at the Hawaiian Room, that it was just crazy the way people RAN after the gates opened.
It's a long shot, but, if anyone does want to sell one of the mugs and/or one of their bowls, please email me. Sure I don't mind paying an additional premium, since, after all, you did stand in line, but please make it a fair offer for both of us.
(Emspace, I now know how you feel.)
That said, I do hope that Disney makes a regular cup/glass/goblet/mug that will be available as a regular sale item at the Dole refreshment stand just outside The Tiki Room.

Aloha,
Our dentist stopped by my shop on Saturday on the way back from Disneywierd. Funny, he wasn't sweating and mentioned nothing about running anywhere, yet scored everything. I don't know what the hell you people were doing.

At around 5 the Disneyana shop was still selling the goblets, shirts, puzzles, mousepads, and necklaces(some other stuff too). Most of the people I was standing with were getting several copies of the print for various reasons. It was a fun time! Now if they could only use the profits to fix up the tiki room. Its pretty sad right now(ironic that hundreds of people showed up to shell out thousands for a ride that has been let go).

I think the Grog Cups're an open run, and my wife liked'em better than the Shag designed ones. They're very nautical with a ceramic rope-look handle & wrapping around the base. I think they'll be sold in the Disneyania store since the Dole stand doesn't open 'til noon.
