Pal Mickey's cost

[CheapMom]

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!

That is a good question- anybody know?

[Good Deeds]

What a great Tip!!! I ordered one for my girls as a Christmas Present...(We leave the end of January)!! Didn't know "Mickey" has something to say about so many places!!!

I got the nicest CM at the store...He said, "I know, you want me to ship you a Pal Mickey" He said they have been getting so many calls...Said he heard it was posted "someplace"

Anyway...He also mentioned that the supply was getting low so if anyone is thinking about it..better call soon!!

So glad all of these Pal Mickey's are going to Good homes!!!

If anyone uses the one they picked up on sale..please post!! Would love to hear how he works!!!

We had the opportunity to try one out for free with a coupon I had. I honestly didn't think my DD6 would be too interested in him for that long, so we got him for the day we were in Epcot. My daughter does not like this park (except for Test Track), but she had a blast that day informing us of all the cool things Mickey was telling her about the countries. Every trip back she has drove me crazy wanting to get one!! So, thanks for the info - I just ordered her one for Christmas!

 

[Waltoncru]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Just ordered one for my kids (I hope they'll share!!) I had read in the Disney literature that this was going to cost $50 at the park.

I Appreciate the Heads UP!!

Actually, I'm pretty sure they are $60 - so you saved more than you think.

anyone know off hand how much it costs just to rent him for the day? (can you still do that?)

thx

From what I remember, it's around $8 a day - but you have to pay a $60?? deposit when renting it.

And, I saw a thread earlier that said they were planning to stop the rentals - not sure when or if that's even true.

 

[Franne]

Yes, it's $8 for the day. We just rented one last week. You have to give them a $60 deposit so keep that in mind. You will get back $51 and change due to tax.

Just got mine in the mail yesterday. Thanks so much for posting this. My DD is going to be very excited on Christmas morning.

THANK YOU very much. My dd-10, has been saving for months for a Pal Mickey. I originally told her that the PM would be approx. $60 plus tax. I just ordered her the PM from the number above and since she has really wanted to use her own money, I let her know she saved over $20 but she can pay me back the almost $40 so she still used her own money

I am renting a Pal Mickey for the 10 days we are there for $10 total (through a Pal Mickey swap ) and thought for $10, the kids (I also have a ds-6) could share. But my dd really wanted one of her own.

Thank you for posting the number. They told me it is being shipped UPS ground which is 3 days

Thank you all again

I just ordered mine yesterday from the number someone posted earlier! Please tell me it gets here quicker than they say. I ordered it and they said 5 - 10 bus days. 10 bus days and we'll be there!!! He said it's usually more like the 5, so I took the chance. We live in Alabama, so it shouldn't take 10 days. I'm scared!!!!! REassure me please!!

 

[JRoglitz]

I ordered mine on 11/2 and received it on 11/8. We live in Maryland. You might get it in time.

 

[caribear]

Thanks for the info! I just ordered one for my dd for the holidays. The location of this store is near Ft. Lauderdale at the Sawgrass Mills Mall....an incredible shopping experiece if you are ever in the area! The CM said that they ran out of Pal Mickeys last night and just got a huge shipment in today.

I live in VA. I ordered mine on Nov. 1st & it arrived on my door step the afternoon of Nov. 4th. I ordered a 2nd one on Sat. & the CM told me it would be sent out on Mon. I'll post again as soon as I get it. Hope you get yours in time for your trip ~ lucky you getting to go to WDW so soon!

 

[Jetstorm]

Has anyone tried the Disney clearance store in the outlet mall in Orlando? I was just wandering whether to order one and pay shipping or if anyone had seen one down there. I leave in two weeks so time is of the essence.

 

[2princesses1pea]

To whoever posted that...thank you thank you thank you.. I ordered mine yesterday (2 of them) and also had them throw in about 10 pins for trading (they were $2.99 each)

 

[earldale97]

allearsnet.com in their newsletter this week has said that as of Dec 1st WDW will no longer RENT the Pal Mickey. You are still able to purchase.

Also that in May 2005 there will be a NEW Pal Mickey available and a clothing line for him.

If you can wait you may want to just keep an eye on them till spring. I am sure they will be slashing prices as the new PM's roll out.

 

[Mom2Ashli]

Wow. Thank you so much for posting this information. My DD 5 wants one so bad but I didn't want to spend the $60 for him.
I am going to order him for Christmas and I just might have them throw in some trading pins like the other poster did. All this from the comfort of my desk...... Can't beat that.

 

[Jetstorm]

Thanks for the number to order the Pal Mickey! I just ordered one. I first called a Disney catalog store in my area and was told they have never carried them there. Then I called the number above and asked if the Orlando area outlets ever carried them, thinking since I was leaving in 13 days it might be better to pick it up in person and save the postage also, but the CM informed that the Orlando area stores did not carry them. The CM was VERY helpful and went beyond nice. She told me about programing him facing the park as I had already read above, she promised to wrap him and ship him out today, She even said he would probably be at my home by the weekend or early next week, today being Wed. She wished me a nice trip and Happy Holidays too. Isn't Disney great...?
