Are there going to be any shortages of CD's in stores?
Yeah, I'm probably asking a stupid question, here. If there's going to be shortages then is there a way to like, buy a CD key from blizzard and download Wotlk?

As I understand it, Blizzard has contractual agreements with retailers to provide a certain number of actual CDs and they want to sell these CDs. Blizz has also announced that there will not be a way to purchse the game via download for awhile. No I CAN NOT site the source right now. I do believe though that something similar happend when BC launched.
At this time if you're that worried about it then I would go to an online retailer and pre-order a copy, or go to an EB Games or Game Stop or similar store near you and reserve a copy of the game today.

When TBC came out I had pre-ordered it online (don't remember through whom) and it was supposed to arrive on the Monday it was released. Waited Monday. Waited Tuesday. Finally went to Best Buy and just picked it up off the shelf on Wednesday. Returned mail-copy to Best Buy when it finally arrived on Friday.
(Days of week may be off, but timing of days is accurate)

If you're worried about it not shipping quickly, pre-order and choose to have it shipped to the store. Then get there early (I'm planning on taking the day off, actually) and ensure that you have your pre-order paperwork (including your ID) in hand. You shouldn't have any problems.
