I am enjoying your trip report. Our first-ever trip is less than 2 weeks away, so I am interested in how you did. Question - what is the Pal Mickey?

Thank you and I hope you have a great trip.

Pal Mickey is an interactive plush toy. He interacts with sensors around the park to tell you trivia related to where you are, when parades or character meets are taking place or just a joke.

I'm sure if you do a search on these boards for Pal Mickey you can get a lot more info and opinoins on whether it is worth it.

The official web site for Pal Mickey is at http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wdw/special/specialindex?id=PalMickeyPage

If you do think you are going to get one you can play the online matching game and get a coupon for a free Pal Mickey Pin you when you buy one at select locations.

We found it a lot of fun and it was nice for Little Man. He enjoyed it a lot and I liked the trivia and facts about the park.

Once again, I hope you have a great time. I have found the people and resources on these boards to be very helpful in planning our trip. If there is anything else I can do to help you get the most out of your trip please ask and I will try my best to provide you with any information I have.

It was nice to know that your family had such a good time in the summer. I'm getting my teaching certificate, so I know that once I start teaching we will probably be going in the summer. I've ready a lot of horror stories. It was great to know you enjoyed your visit. Thank you for taking the time to share your trip with us.

Sounds like a GREAT family vacation! Congrats, first-timer! The pictures are terrific, too -- you really captured some wonderful memories.

So, when you going back???

You have such a delightful family and truly enjoyed your report! Can you tell me how much the Pal Mickey cost? I looked at the website and it was very helpful.

 

[Nanajo1]

Thanks for a great report and such an easy way to read it.

Can you tell me how much the Pal Mickey cost? I looked at the website and it was very helpful.

I believe Pal Mickey was $65. We had $500 in rewards from our Disney Visa so we bought stuff a little more freely than had we been paying cash.

I know there are some threads on this board about people buying Pal Mickey online or through eBay. We had fun with it, but it was a lot easier to spend the money when it was rewards dollars specifically for spending at Disney.

I'll leave it up to you to decide what option is right for you and your family, but no matter what you do about Pal Mickey have a great time at Disney.
