Ok, kind of off topic, but does anyone know if we'll ever see Pal Minnie? No offense Mickey we love you too but my girls would love Minnie. Also when does the new Mickey, with outfits you can change, come out? I figure we aren't going untill the later part of this year so I might wait and see if I can get a good deal on a new one, so I don't have to hear any of the, " But I can't change the clothes on MY MICKEY, I WANT a new one". LOL Thanks guys, and congrats on such a great deal!

SwilPhil -- I think it's supposed to take 5-10 business days. Mine took 5, I believe, before Thanksgiving. It probably also depends on how far away from Florida you are.

I read a while back on Jim Hill's site (before Pal Mickey came out) that if Pal Mickey was successful, they might have other characters come out too, like Pal Minnie, Pal Goofy, and maybe Pal Stitch, Pal Tigger, Pal Pooh, whatever. They could do it with any, since I'm reasonably sure that they are not transmitting voice data to the Mickey, but rather just telling him what words to say, and the voice is pre-recorded on a chip inside of the doll.

I know mine took over a week. Maybe a week and a half or so, but I purchased around Thanksgiving, so I figured maybe it didn't go out until after the holiday. There is no mail delivery on Monday here either, so I would predict Tuesday or Wednesday. I was just starting to get concerned when it did arrive.

I should stop hanging out around here before I go to Disney because it always costs me money. Really, I didn't want a Pal Mickey until now.

I called around and they don't think there are any more Pal Mickeys in "liquidation land" as the fellow said. I think the newer models are taking over.

So here I am, -$60 already, and I haven't even left home yet.

I'm wondering if anyone has had any issues with Mickey piping up and having a child get upset because you don't want to do what Mickey suggests. I know you don't *have* to squeeze his hand, but if he's on, I can't see not wanting to. My 3 YO might be difficult if Mickey says so & so is somewhere and we don't want to go because we have plans already.

Thanks!

Yes that happened to me! I wasn't going to tell DD about the 3:00 parade but Pal Mickey piped up as we were entering ToonTown. She wouldn't have missed the parade if she didn't know about it, but since she knew...after we saw Cinderella we ran (as much as you can through Fantasyland in July!) to Liberty Square and actually got to see the parade. She loved it, I'm glad we did, and still wish Pal Mickey had kept quiet. Kind of.

To whoever was asking how long it should take to get it. I ordered mine last week to be shipped to Detroit and it took 6 days. After a week I would be tempted to call them just to be sure.

Does he take AA batteries and how many???

 

[elliemae1192]

Yes, please can someone with a Pal Mickey let us know what size batteries he takes? I'm waiting on mine to get here and am leaving for WDW in 15 days. I'd like to go ahead and get plenty of batteries to take with us.
Thanks a bunch.

 

[jennz]

He takes 3 AA batteries. Have fun with him!

Thanks jennz!
