I bought my new Pal Mickey during our trip in July. I LOVE him. Never stops talking and he gave me alot of info I didn't know about.
My Dsis had the old version and although they say that they update in the park automatically, hers never seemed to talk as much as mine although she had put a set of fresh batteries in. She went to a place in town square...not sure if it's cinema Hall or Expositon hall and this lady apparently put som device next to his head to update him.
He talked as much as mine after that.....
