*Pal Mickey Info* - New & Improved Info Here About This Page:

[M&M]

We bought a PM a few years ago - I believe 2005 or so. The entire family (7 Adults) loved taking turns on holding him and listening to his announcements. Needless to say great while waiting in line or that extra something to make the trip special.

We bring out PM at home when we are working on Disney planning or just remembering the trip. Our favorite game is the the one that asks what attraction is in which park. The Mickey Says game will see if you can follow directions.

The jokes and riddles are a riot. Quite a few will make grown adults laugh out loud.

I love all of my Pal Mickey's. I have all versions of the Pal Mickey. Some people do not like the Mickey and I can see that he is a little expensive. It is the first thing I purchase when I go to the parks. We normally arrive in the afternoon and the first thing I do is hit World of Disney and get my Pal.

Then some outfits for Pal.

I've been debating back and forth on this. I am a bit concerned about the size of PM, and that I may get tired of carrying him around, however I do feel like if I don't get one I'll feel like I missed out. I think I should just get one and carry him around for an afternoon and see. If he is to heavy I'll just end up with a great reminder of my trip!

:and I just talked myself into one:

[eeyore's friend]

Is this something you order ahead of time or get once you get there? I can't wait!!!!!

[meekorouse]

oh you can purchase Pal Mickey in many retail locations around WDW. We were just there for 14 days and we ended up not getting him! Husband is waiting for a version that will be compatible with Disneyland as well as WDW. I don't know if they have one in the works or not, but the one with all the cute outfits is just the neatest. I would have liked to have had one for the 2 weeks we were just there. I guess I can kind of see SeanYoda's (hubby's) point I guess if he wants one that will work on both coasts. I don't know if it would be feasible for Disney to do that though. *pout*

We bought a PM last year in WDW and my DD carries around with her all the time!
The only problem was the last time we went to Disney it got forgotten in the car at the airport so I didn't have it with us
I'll have to pack it in the suitcase for our Nov trip, and find something else to keep DD entertained with on the plane

I am thinking about buying PM for my DD8; what type of outfits do they offer?
She is a HUGE build a bear fan, and will find the clothes shopping the best part.

to my understanding, the build-a-bear clothes fit, but they may be just a tad big. last i heard, the outfits that have been available are a rain coat, a pirate outfit, a safari outfit, a pin trader outfit, a tourist outfit and a holiday santa outfit (somewhat rare and hard to find because they stopped selling it). i found this web site a few months ago. it's outdated, but has pictures of the disney pal mickey ourfits and some pal mickeys in build a bear clothes.

VMK is reportedly moving to the tomorrowland arcade but i'm not clear on what it means for pal mickey

When I took my 2003 Pal Mickey to Once Upon a Toy @ DTD, they had NO idea what I was talking about, and Guest Relations @ DTD and at Epcot also had no idea. No one seemed to know how to reprogram him, and people kept sending me to different places. Also his batteries were dead and I didn't have a screwdriver w/ me to get the cover off to change them, so I gave up and left him in the hotel room the entire trip. Guess I could've bought a new one, but couldn't see spending the money.

Just a friendly reminder to others bringing an old Pal Mickey back to WDW. Check your batteries before you leave home, or bring a small screwdriver w/ you.

We have a first-version Pal Mickey from our trip 3 years ago. Will he still work in the parks? Are there features on the newer version that are worth the upgrade? We loved the original, but founf he was a bit soft-spoken and hard to hear.

[avviexxx]

i got a pal mickey,, and when i brought it back to England it stopped working completly, i even tried changing the batteries,,
is this supposed to happen?

[strtrek]

hey

I bought Pal mickey for my 14 yr old son at epcot 2006, and he loved it. We had a few probs on the first day, but the guy at the camera place at epcot was great, changed the batteries and he was off again. Even now, I press his hand and he gives me a joke/ laugh. Cant wait to drag him around again in 2010....the husband is going to look so cute carrying him around. Cant wait for THOSE photos

Mine is the sorcerer pal mickey. I had to buy a pin trading lanyard to carry him around, works well

Shame we cant download new versions off the internet...maybe the next one will be wireless compatable with maybe a mp3 player in him and a small screen.....who knows???

I am really confused about this Pal Mickey stuff! I wanted to get one ahead of time to give to DS when I tell him we are going, so he can play with him on the way etc. Well there are several for sale on Ebay but all of the vendors claim that Pal Mickey automatically updates to the newest park information once you get there no matter what version he is. From what I'm reading here that isn't so, you have to pay to update him? Help me understand this!

[Retro Mommy]

I cant wait to get mine! i would buy one online if i could find a reliable source. i was thinking...Passporter should create a passporter t-shirt for Pal Mickey and sell it in the store, maybe with the words "Passporter Pal". i would totally buy it. maybe some cute little shorts and light weight tennies. those on the pics look heavy. but even just the tshirt would be adorable. then i could show off my "Passporter Pride"

[pipperj]

Got mine for my trip in early December and enjoyed his company immensely. Only problem was the belt clip which would not stay clipped. Actually dropped him twice without noticing luckily other nice people let me know. Finally used a climbing clip I had thrown into the suitcase "just in case".
By the way, make sure you bring him into the Haunted Mansion, he has something to say mid-ride.
Doese nayone know if there are any other rides he talks on?
