Here's a better description:
The latest marvel from the dream makers at Disney is becoming the talk of the parks, literally.
Pal Mickey looks like a huggable Mickey toy. But this little guy (he's about ten inches tall) is much, much more. He's an interactive talking wonder who guides you through four theme parks.
To get a better idea of what Pal Mickey can do, I took him (and my kids) for a spin. It was amazing. He reminded us when shows were about to start and told us when we could get right onto some of the busier attractions. He shared a little Disney trivia, told us where to find Cinderella, and even shared a few delightfully dreadful jokes. ("Why is Captain Hook's boat still sailing through the sky? Because it's going to Never Land.") In no time at all, we felt like we had our own tour guide.
So how does Pal Mickey work? That's a well-kept Disney secret, but I did get a few enticing details from Leslie Hartog, Disney's Pal Mickey Project Manager. "He's a smart little guy with a lot to say, and he always knows where he is, so he says the right thing at the right time. You can even take Pal Mickey home and he'll keep you laughing with great Disney jokes and games."
Pal Mickey is available in late spring at each Disney resort and the four Disney theme parks. Daily rental is $8.00 (plus tax). Or you can purchase your very own Pal Mickey for $46.94 (plus tax).
