No more free hot chocolate and cookies like at Osborn Lights?!? Oh well, I quess it is August... I at least thought there we be group pictures.

We are packing to attend the Mission Space Annual Passholder preview this weekend, August 1-3. Has anyone heard any details or times for the preview? Any other special perks? We want to make sure not to miss anything.

The desserts at the Norwegian Bakery are the best. The lure of a sweet prezle will get my four year old to walk through several countries at the end of the day. I try to get something different every time--so far it has all been fantastic.

Yes, 3 and under count as infants. We have stayed at the All Stars with three adults a 5 year old and a three year old twice. It was fine being all in one room both times. Once my youngest turned four they told me we could no longer do that (something about fire codes). The rooms are quite...

That is crazy, I agree. I emailed them that $68.50 was too high, now it's $89.95. See if I ever shop there! Anyway, you had asked which resorts have him, thanks to www.wdwig.com here is Deb's list. Where you'll find it: As of April 22, here are the resorts at which Pal Mickey is...

I just double checked www.mainstreetmegastore.com, and Pal Mickey has gone up to $89.95! When they first got him two weeks ago, he was $68.50 (I still have their email). He must be in very high demand. I found some ebay 'buy it now' Pal Mickey's for $60. Remember that the on site price is...

Christina, I contacted mail order merchandise, and was told the same thing, 'park only merchandise'. This is the first time I have ever heard of Disney not wanting to sell you something. The only other option I discovered was www.mainstreetmegastore.com. They have Pal Mickey for...

This is the husband that supposedly 'hogged' Pal Mickey throughout the parks. Just to clarify, I wanted to make sure that he was working properly, for the kids. Anyway, DisneyWonders07, you can order him from WDW Merchandise Service, (407) 363-6200, and have him shipped to your door. He...

Yes, he will work on subsequent trips, and should even update himself as you walk into each park with new ride info., etc. When away from the parks he can do three things: *Tell Jokes *Tell stories *Play games: There are 3 games. "Mickey Says" is like Simon says--he tells you to...

My husband ran into a programmer about 30 minutes after we got ours and had a rather longish conversation with him. Here's what I know form that conversation: Pal gets updated as you pass through the turnstiles at most parks (under the tunnels at MK). It is good not to race through these...

It would be really useful if you did not know much about the parks. For us it was primarily entertainment (both for the kids and the adults--could hardly get it away from my husband). Although, we all learned a fair amount about some of hte animals on display in AK that we probably would not...

We just got our Pal Mickey on Wednesday at the gift shop in the Wilderness Lodge (the lady there told us they had gotten them in the day before and were the first shop to get them but that all the delux resorts should have them within a couple of days). I was surprised by how small and light...

Oh yeah, AP room rates. Sorry, I should have realized that. Have a great trip.

Hi RPMdfw Did you know you can go ahead and buy your AP voucher at the Disney Store now? It won't start counting down your days until you arrive and activiate it in June. That way, you protect your self against any possible price increase in the meantime. We were able to do this before the...

We have had to get vouchers from the Disney store previously (and got them just before the September price increase--saved a little over $100 for the 5 of us). When we chekced on the current Disney Club price for an AP for a friend who is comming on this trip--the CMs told us they have just...
