Is this new night time show a permanent addition? Just wondering if I need to plan in two night time visits to DHS? 🙈

Yes it is. It replaces the current Disney Movie Magic.

Does anyone know if it's likely that the merchandise will remain available for the rest of the year, or likely to be a short-lived thing? I was actually there very shortly after the opening of MGM Studios so would love to get something from this range - we're not there until October though.
