Mickey & Santa phone call info, please

[ptrbryant]

Okay, since the other thread about this got mingled with a thread about resort wake-up calls, I want to try and start one just about the phone calls offered now by Disney. My e-mail (and their site) states that you can order a phone call from Mickey & Santa for your child for $2.49. Has anyone done this or the princess version of it for birthdays? I can't quite figure out how it works: you pay the $2.49 and schedule a call for a specific date and time. Then, they call and you enter a code and the message starts. I'm trying to figure out how much time you have to get your child on the phone, etc...

Thanks!
Karla B.

I have ordered my Mickey holiday call, but I scheduled it for Christmas so it hasn't happened yet. But my understanding is when the call comes in you have to press 1 to hear the message and you have 40 seconds to answer the call. If the phone is picked up and 1 isn't pressed, they still consider the call "as happening" and then that is it. But I think I read on the website that if the phone is never picked up or an answering maching picks it up, you can re-schedule the call and you can re-schedule as often as needed. Once ordering the call you can't cancel it and get a refund. You are charged no matter whether your child hears the call or not. In fact I ordered my call last week and my credit card has already been charged. Now I have yet to actually hear one of these calls, this is just the information I remember reading on the website. I would also like to hear the experience of someone who has actually received their call.
