Has anyone used a Pal Mickey?

I've been to WDW a dozen times, but for some reason I've never heard of this until now. I'm getting ready to take a trip to WDW, and I'm wondering if I ought to buy one for DDs 4 and 6...

It looks like the price on Ebay is around $45. Is that about what is costs in the park?

I used my Pal Mickey for the second time last month. When i bought him on my trip in 2003, I really enjoyed hearing everything he said all over the parks. But this year everything he said was the same as 2 years ago, so i left him in the room after the second day.
I believe they are around $65 at the parks. You have to buy him now, you can't rent anymore.
It is fun if you don't mind carring him around, but he can be hard to hear at times. I strapped him to my back pack, they give you a carring strap though.

If you don't mind spending $65 for it, I would say go for it. The kids will love the cheesey jokes and fun facts.

My pal mickey has been soaked on Splash Moutain, spun around on Mission Space, weightless on Tower of Terror and upside down on Rock N Roller Coster and he is still going strong (after new batteries).
