NON-mylar Mickey balloons?

[LuluLovesDisney]

Does anyone know where you can still get the original Mickey balloons?

(The kind that come in various bright colors like regular balloons with ears, not the silvery Mylar ones with a screenprinted Mickey face.)

I saw a child with one the last time we were in Magic Kingdom but couldn't find them for sale *anywhere*!!

Thanks! :maleficen

try a party supply store, we have one called the paper outlet and i thought i saw them once. try hallmark as well, or depending on how many you need... google it and see what you get. These are a few I found. Good luck

They may not last as long as mylar, but I'm with you, the old style MM balloons bring back happy warm childhood memories.

I've seen them for sale on Main Street at MK, via a vendor walking around with them. Good luck!!!

this post made me think about latex balloons, I wonder how much longer public places will continue to sell them due to the numerous people with latex allergies, I am not allergic thankfully to anything but I have talked to people that state if they are even in the vicinity of latex they will break out.

Can you imagine having the time of you life and then some innocent kid walks by you and the wind blows his/her balloon right into you.

Just kinda thinking out loud here :goodvibes

Also, the CPSC has issued warnings about latex balloons being a choking hazard to young children, even school-aged. So I'm sure that is probably one reason why they no longer sell them.
