If you do a search, there have been several recent threads on this board about Pal Mickey and they will have all of the info as well as people's reviews of using him. Yes, he is still available for use in the parks.
We just bought ours on Sunday and now we're home. I wish we had bought him earlier so that we could have used him at all the parks. Oh well... something else to look forward to on our next trip in January.. hopefully!!
We rented him for MK and Epcot on Sunday and we were so impressed that we bought him before we went home.
He's so much fun!!
