Pal Mickey's cost

[tiggercrazy]

I was wondering if anybody could tell me exactly how much Pal Mickey is in WDW. I have a friend who is leaving for WDW tomorrow and am debating whether to have her pick one up for me. They seem to be going for pretty cheap on e-bay. What do you all think?

We paid $60 for ours. My DD3 loves him.

I saw them recently at Disney's Character Warehouse at the Dolphin Mall in Miami for about $27.99. If you have an outlet store near by you might want to give them a call.

Has anyone else done this?
I was planning on getting one when I go in December and while this seems like a great deal I want to make sure it's the same thing. Does it come already activated? If there's something wrong with it will they replace it at WDW?

Any more info? I would like to know also.

I am going to do some more digging but I think $40 is most likely the best you can do.

I may just wait and try to find the outlet mall if it is convenient to get to to save on shipping. But it sure would be fun to play with him on the plane!

The phone number above is to: Disney's Character Premiere. I tried calling but got a message that no one was available. I will try later to try and get more info.

Thanks

I am very interested in knowing if you purchase this ahead of time will they still service ( I read where some people had to take their's to a CM when he wasn't working right) it or help you with it there, is it the same thing and is it already set up. Anyone with info on this please help.

Just ordered one from the # that mousefan posted. Will post info. when mine arrives.

UPDATE: Just received my Pal Mickey in the mail that I ordered from the # mousefan posted. That was extremely quick - I just ordered it 3 days ago. It is the same one that I saw for sale at WDW when I was there in May. It works just fine ~ no problems at all.

Mousefan - thanks sooo much for posting the #. It is really a great deal even with the shipping cost.

Thanks Pink Flamingo.

I was just waiting for someone to post an update on what they reveived. I've been debating on whether or not to get one, but for that price, I'll go for it.

Thank you so much for all of the info guys!!! We just called and ordered one and they couldn't have been nicer or more professional if they tried. I was nervous having something shipped from a regular b&m store, but they assured us that they send out dozens of these a day and they are already in the process of shipping ours since they have a UPS shipment going out within the hour. How cool is that! Can't wait to get it

 

[JRLINK3]

I just bought mine! I can't wait! What a savings and we get to play with him early. We're doing the Land/Sea package. 3 days on land and 4 days on the Wonder. Does anyone know if there he'll work on the ship? I mean, will he alert you if characters are close by, what times things are? That would be too cool!

 

[tikilyn]

Thanks for posting this!! I just order one, Dh just rolled his eyes at me !! I wasn't going to buy him but at this price I just couldn't pass it up!!

Thank you

Quick tip I received from a CM on our last trip.

No matter when you bought your Pal Mickey, bring him to any store where they sell them, and he can be updated with all the latest information.

I was told that sometimes things will change from week to week, like times for shows, parades and fireworks. And of course every now and then a new ride or attraction opens (Stitch anyone?)

I did not realize that they could be updated like that. I think it is free, so even if you have a new one, it does not hurt to get him updated.

 

[JRLINK3]

When I ordered mine last night I asked about the updating. I was worried that I would get last years model and that he wouldn't be up to date. I was told that what you need to do is that right after your go through the turnstyles in any of the parks, you should hold him up facing the park and he will the automatically download all of the new information. She said that there were sensors that do this. Technology never ceases to amaze me! Of course, that's the magic of Disney!

 

[sphere99]

Wow wish I would have known would have bought ths one before our trip kinda late now!

 

[Pink Flamingo]

Great tips GoofyJoofy & JRLINK3! Thanks for sharing .

 

[tiggercrazy]

Thank you for the info. I am so excited! I spoke with two different people and they were both SO nice. The price is just over half of what I thought I would have to spend.

 

[m&m's mom]

I was a little nervous but ordered mine as well.
They told me that Disney is just trying to unload overstock before the new ones arrive.
I can't believe people are getting them so fast. We leave 20 days from when I ordered so we definitely should be OK.
Thanks for the tip!

Just ordered two for my kids. They 'should' be here before we leave!
