Should I get a Pal Mickey for my 9 yr. old dd?

[famofour]

DD9 really wants a Pal Mickey for our trip in Feb - is this something kids her age carry around, or is it usually just the little ones?

Also - do I have to buy it at the park, or can I find it online somewhere (would make a great Christmas gift!)?

Thanks!

I have one and they are really cool... It's amazing how it works. I bought it at GF, but you can buy one on www.laughingplacestore.com .... I have bought many things from them and they are very reputable... I took mine to the park once and I was so tired of holding it that I left it in the hotel from them on.. I just dont like carrying things in the park... But with kids they have a blast with it...

Get it, my DW has one and she is 55.

I would highly recomend it. My wife bought hers two years ago and loves it even when we are at home. When at DW, we usually could not go more than 15 minutes before a youngster would ask her about it. Plus, it will tell you about short lines for rides. We were eating at MK and he came on and told us there was no wait at Astro Blasters and there wasn't, we walked right on! The only problem I can see is he goes off all the time. At AK he was going off every ten minutes or so and kind of got a little annoying. But he still is fun and the clip he comes with makes it easy to carry him around. All things considered, I think he is well worth it.

Enjoy!
