Is "buying a Mickey watch" in WDW, the "thing" to do???

[I am JEN]

Don't get me wrong (hee hee)....I wanted to get a new Mickey watch while we are in WDW, but I'm reading a lot of posts that mention definatly getting them!!! Is there a certain watch that everyone looks for while there/certain shop to get them in? I still remember my lorus singing Mickey watch with the leather strap being my all time favorite!

I got my first Mickey watch at the Poly back in 1976. Boy do I miss that watch.

I bought a Mickey watch during our May 2000 trip. I wasn't looking for one but I saw the one I have now and fell in love with it. DH convinced me to buy it!

There is a great watch store on Main Street in the Magic Kingdom, About half-way down Main Street on the right, as you enter the park.

There is also a wide selection of Mickey & other Disney Watches at the World of Disney Store at Downtown Disney. That's where I purchased my Mickey watch last year.

We were at our local Disney store this past weekend and a lady working there showed us the Mickey watch she bought on Main St at MK. It is a Mickey watch and the background is a picture of her and Mickey. It was really neat.

Get one and wear it proudly! If nothing else, wearing a MM watch seems to keep me from taking myself too seriously!!!

I got my Mickey watch from the store on Main Street in 1994 and it's still ticking away on my wrist

I buy a new Pooh watch each year on our annual trip, it has become a tradition!

I plan on getting one!

I abandoned my mickey watch around age 16 because I felt I was grown up (ha) and didn't need one anymore. Now as an adult, I miss it like crazy - LOL!

I got this great one in 1997. It was Cinderella's Castle in the background on the face with Walt Disney World written in a circle above the castle and it has Mickey on the crystal in the foreground. I have not found any that I like more and I have replaced that watch twice with the same watch (once, the circuit went out, and in June, I knew we were not going back for a few years, so I got another just in case!!!). Love that watch!!!!!

We always buy new watches when we visit - it's tradition! As a matter of fact, we haven't been back in over a year now, so DH has already announced that he's getting 2 this trip!

(Hey, at least I'm getting him to shop!!)

I love getting watches from WDW. I always get a new Tinkerbell one each time we go down. DH gets to go to the Contemporary every June for his company's convention. As a peace offering, I always get a new watch. This year it was a really pretty Minnie one that was sparkels in the face, flowers and a pink band that sparkels. My mother claims I have a watch obsession but doesn't everyone have watches in all colors to match all outfits?

Disney and Mickey watches are all that I wear. I have a good collection. I usually get one each time we go. My favorite was one with a denim band and red hearts. I wore it so much it got "nasty" from use, so the next time I was there I got another just like it. I also have the Minnie one like it with pink hearts. This year I got one that has 2003 on the face and icons from each park. It is pretty good. My all time favorites were a couple of years ago. They had "big faces" of the characters. I have one with Tigger and one with Minnie. The batteries have worn out and I haven't been able to find anyone to replace them. And I don't find the watches to be very expensive, unless you have really good taste.

Enjoy your trip. I know you are excited.

AZKathy, that is the same watch I got on my August 2001 trip! I love it, and it's still ticking. The band on the other hand, could use a little help LOL. I wear it every single day!

I sure plan on getting one next trip to WDW, whenever that may be. I just can't decide between a Mickey or Tigger (my fave) watch. Heck, I might splurge and get one of each, lol!!

I bought a watch in the store on Main St. two years ago. It was about 80 dollars. I love it but the clasp broke about 6 months after i got it. I was thinking about brining it back this week and see if they will fix it. What do you think my chances are?

I have bought 2 watches (Airplane Mickey & Two Gun Western Mickey) at WDW in years past. I still have them both & they work great. I have found that WDW has alot of unique items that you just don't see outside of the world except for on eBay.

I buy a new Mickey watch every year we go ~ it's part of my tradition now and I have quite a collection. I love the jewelry store on Main Street in the MK. Have a great time!

Ok folks, I need your assistance. I'm a bit picky about any kind of watch that I wear. I won't wear plastic watches, and as much as I like watches with leather bands, I avoid them. The bands tend to get a bit too, how shall we say... rancid after one sweats on them a few times. (if you don't believe me, give your watch band a quick sniff... pretty nasty)

Anyway, all that being said, I almost always wear watches with metal wrist bands. My question is whether anyone is aware of a traditional Mickey Mouse face (moving hands) with a metal band available for men? I know there is a rolex style watch for women but what about us menfolk?

I was looking at buying one of the watches, but I never got around to it this past trip. Now I could kick myself!

It definitely goes on the "to buy" list for next year.
