**blott** · 26-03-2003, 03:26

'Pal Mickey' is a talking Mickey Mouse that can recommend theme park attractions, remind you about parades and show times, share stories, play games and help locate Disney characters in the parks. The interactive toy will rent for $8 per day plus tax and a refundable deposit. It can also be purchased for $46.94 plus tax.

Pal Mickey will be offered at certain locations in Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney-MGM Studios and Disney’s Animal Kingdom starting in May.

Seems like this toy is really a waste of money wouldnt you think reading what time shows on a map would be better than holding this Mickey doll right at your ear since the volume of the thing is so low peopel think your haveing an affair with it.

Any more opinions about Pal Mickey, as I was considering as a Christmas Wish, but don't want to do that if it is not very good. Would appreciate opinions of people that have bought/rented one.

Many thanks,

Saw lots of them in the parks over xmas, but still not a clue why!!!!

Tink, did you see people using them or just a lot of unsold Pal Mickeys ?

Just can't see the attraction (apart from the novelty/gadget value) of paying for a toy to guide you around the park when they give maps out for free !!

Exactly, no I saw people listening to them! but, I did notice that all the people listening to them were adults! No kids playing along!! Disney aren't stupid are they?!?!

We got one the other year and it is great, it tells you a lot more than what is in the maps and guide,when you are walking round it shakes to let you know you are passing an area where there is somthing you might not have seen.
Also he keeps the kids quiet with his endless supply of jokes whislt you are in the lines for the rides.
If you are still sceptical you can rent one for a day instead of buying one.
We would really recommend them even to seasoned visitors.[msnsmile]
