If you don't fill up enough of your dates, another option to consider would be a swap where you mail each other PAL Mickey. If there is a large gap in between swappers, you can mail it to the next participant and since he is relatively small, he wouldn't cost that much to send him if you take out his batteries. You can insure the package so if he is lost, there are funds to replace him. Then it wouldn't matter which resort anyone stayed at and he wouldn't spend too much time in luggage services....
I just thought I'd throw the idea out there... I already have my PAL Mickey from 2005, so I'm not looking to join this swap.
