Can anyone tell me if "Pal Mickey" has made it across the Atlantic yet?
When we were at WDW last year he seemed to be very popular, the first visit we avoided him like the plague (in spite of a nagging seven year old ) he was very expensive ! We imagined that he was just a talking Mickey. ( I mean "Pal Mickey - not our son )
On our second visit he seemed even more popular - everyone seemed to have one in tow. Eventually our son made friends with a little boy who's father had one in tow ( men and their toys ) it had been purchase for the little boy -but Dad had taken pocession ! LOL We then became aware that it was not just a talking Mickey it was an interactive Mickey ! He actually told you the history of parts of Main Steet as you walked past various places, time of the parades, where the shortest queue was at that moment in time, and loads of other stuff. He did this at all the parks, MK, MGM, Epcot and Animal Kingdom. We gave in and purchased one for our son - our only regret was that we had left it so long - we spent 4 weeks in total at WDW last year and didn't purchase "Pal Mickey" until late in the 3rd week !!!!
He is activated as you walk through the Disney Entrance so will be activated again when we next go back. If anyone goes to WDW it is a purchase that is worth consideration especially if you have a child/ren in tow. Our son was 7 and it gave him and us ( LOL ) a lot of fun. Its not advisable to drop him though so he may not be suitable for younger children ( I guess that dad could carry him though - any excuse)You can also hire one in the theme park if you want to. Sorry folks ,I have somewhat drifted off the
the original question here, in order to sing the praises of " Pal Mickey "
Is there a DLP version yet ? I guess that the language issue might be a complication - French or English Mickey ? It would be nice if " Pal Mickey "
was transatlantic,(activated in WDW & DLP )but I don't think that he is.
PS Why can I not get the " Smileys" to go where I want them too ?
