I purchased one on Saturday the 13th (the first day of our trip) for $50.00. I will without a doubt say it was the best spent $50 of our vacation. It was a gift for my little sister who was on the trip with us - and Mickey never left her side. We took him all over the park and loved having him. My sister felt so important when people would ask her questions about Mickey and she could answer them. We got great information and my sister learned lots of info about the various rides and attractions. At EPCOT World Showcase, he gave info about the various countries, and at almost all rides and attractions he was giving tips or trivia.
I would MOST DEFINATELY recommend Mickey to anyone going.
