Pal Mickey's cost

[Pink Flamingo]

UPDATE for Lori S: I just received my 2nd Pal Mickey that I ordered on Sat., so it only took 3 business days. I bet yours will make it to you well before your trip.

How did they ship pal Mickey? Was it UPS, DHL, or Parcel Post. I order one on Friday or Saturday and it still hasn't arrived.

Hopely tomorrow Pal Mickey will show up on my door step!!

How did they ship pal Mickey?

UPS Ground. I think they don't ship on the weekend, so yours may not have been sent out until Monday. I know when I ordered mine early Sat. morning the CM said it wouldn't be sent off until Monday. Hope yours comes soon!

Thanks for the info, now I know what kind of truck to look for!!

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.

Do we have to worry whether the old Pal Mickeys will still work when the new ones come out?!? Anyone have any info on it? I bought one (haven't gotten it yet, ordered on Sat.) because we're going to make three trips in the next three years - before it gets too hard to go off-season while school is in session- and I was hoping we'd be able to use our PM for all three trips.

I wouldn't have bought him now if I thought he was going to become obsolete soon.

Our Pal Mickey was delivered today! We ordered him on Friday and the lady who took our order was so super nice! When we opened our box, we were so surprised to find that she put in a bunch of Mickey stickers and a stack of Disney coloring pages for my daughter! I wish they had a website or a catalog! We've been playing with him all night! He is so adorable and I think his jokes are pretty funny!

Hey, what would Dumbo be if he didn't take a bath for a whole year?

A smell-aphant! Ewww!

Jenjersnap-

I really wouldn't worry about the Pal Mickey becomming obsolete! It's just that he's basically the same style he was last year sooooo . . .

what would make an obsessed Disney fan (like myself) purchase another one? Well, change him up just a little bit. Make him bigger/louder/furrier/etc

They are doing something with him to celebrate the 50th anniversarly of Disneyland next year (remember that all Disney parks will be celebrating) and he will have his own costume line. So they might change the way his shorts attach slightly.

As far as him telling you all about the areas of the various parks though, I wouldn't worry.

We just got our Pal Mickey's today as well. I ordered them Saturday and they were waiting on us at home when we got here. Of course now I have to call my sister and get her to put her youngest one on (3yrs). He loves Pal Mickey! I can't wait til our kids see them later this evening. My son just loves corny jokes!

I can't imagine them changing their programming, it seems to work perfectly fine the way it is. I have not heard as to if this is changing, but normally when this type of change occurs anywhere the old version will continue to work.

I wouldn't worry.

The very nice lady who took my order, said they were changing the material of the clothes that good olf Pal Mickey was wearing. The ones we are getting are the originals. New. In the box.

I couldn't be happier. She asked if I knew how to program him. "Hold him with his nose pointing into the park?"

That's right. You have a wonderful holiday, yada, yada, yada... couldn't have been nicer.

I just can't wait.

He's MINE. Not the grandkid's: mine. Like finding Nemo... mine, mine, mine....

Yes, it's the bed for me...

thanks for lettig me know!!

Just got ours! Ordered on the night of the 4th and here he is, in perfect working order. How cute he is! His voice is much clearer and perfectly "Mickey" than I thought that it would be. I can't wait to give him to our DD on the way to the airport in 3 WEEKS!

 

[SnoWhiteRabbit]

Ordering mine now....Woo hooo!

1 Pal Mickey and a handful pins are on their way to NJ!

Thanks for the heads up!!

 

[tikilyn]

YAY, I my Pal Mickey today. I was soooo excited I couldn't wait to open the box. My poor dh doesn't get it, He just rolls his eyes at me Oh well.

I love my pal mickey!!

 

[tina95]

Pal Mickey is here!! I have to admit, I almost cried. I took him out of the box and he did not work. I thought just my luck. I bought the only broken one. My 10 ds said change the batteries. Yes he is working! What would I do with out my little battery monster.

 

[Lori S.]

Ours arrived yesterday. I was so excited! Very quick. In fact, I'm going to call back and have them send some pins since it came so quickly, I know I'll pay more shipping but it'll still be cheaper than buying pins in the park, don't you think?

I didn't play with him yet though. I had dh hide it, I wasn't home, because I want to save it for a surprise on the way down!! I more week!!! Yahoo!

I too just called and ordered Mickey and a few pins. I'm leaving on the 23rd and she promises me it will be here before then. I'm cutting it real close so we'll see!! She told me the newer version is getting a bigger chip able to hold more information. The old ones can be updated but not with all the info. I hope this operation is legit, I asked for my total and was told "Oh your at the $50 mark" what is that???

 

[spiceycat]

hey I just order one and I leaving next Saturday!!!

hope it comes first!

of course I will be back in May (if not sooner).

thank you so very much!!!

 

[LilMamiBella]

How much are there pins?

 

[rileyroosmom]

The pins are $2.99

 

[Lori S.]

They are legit, I called back after we received Pal Mickey because I wanted some of the pins. We were cutting it close on getting them in time for us to leave, and also shipping was high. It's based on amount purchased, not weight. Therefore, shipping for pins was going to be the same as Pal Mickey. The CM suggested we wait and go to their store at the Belz Outlets right by Disney world since we are coming so soon. I thought that was very nice of her. She said they are the same price there. We plan to go there one evening early in our trip. I can't believe it's so close! Yahoo!!!
