Pal Mickey........what to do with multiple children

[MickeyHereWeCome!]

Hi. I posted this on the Theme Parks/Attractions board, but thought I'd try here, as well.

I've been thinking about getting a Pal Mickey for our October trip. So many people have said great things about him.

So, my question is for those of you who have used Pal Mickey, but have more than one child. Did you get one for each child, or have them share. I honestly can't see my four sharing well. My oldest is autistic, so that whole sharing thing is way out there for him. I've toyed with buying the older models at one of the Outlet stores (13.99). Maybe I'll get one of the newer ones for one of the kids, since they won't really know it's different, other than the clothing.

So, how did you all deal with this? Did they share (and you didn't have to suffer through too much fighting) or did you get each child his/her own?

TIA

The easiest would be to get everyone their own. If this isn't feasible, then one of the parents could hold it and tell the kids they can borrow it occasionally and then make sure everyone gets a fair chance.

Thanks!! I was leaning towards getting one for everyone, but with four, that's mighty expensive. I guess I just needed to hear that I wasn't crazy for thinking such a thing


Another question...does anyone think that the new model is worth spending much more on than the older one? I know the older one can't get updates on the new rides, but does the older one still have enough info to make that one worth it? I could justify spending the $13.99/kid (x4), but would hate to waste the money if I really "need" the newer one.
