The Mickey is actually really cool. When I was working at DAK last year I watched them develop it, from a pretty "big" prototype to the more manageable (think $20 sized stuffed Mickey) size it is now. The imaginears that were developing it and testing it in the park would give me updates on it's progress when they tested it in Camp Minnie Mickey. I know that the way it works is through the censors (little brown boxes) throughout the park will set Mickey talking about the area, or the attraction.... like in Camp "Hey look there's the trail to my pal Goofy's." or on the paths through the oasis it will tell you about the animals, ect. that you come across. You can also play interactive games with it in the areas. (think "squeeze my left hand if" type games) I guess they want it to also tell show times, park hours, etc. Your own little personal guide to the park. They told me the price would most likely be around $10-$15 + a deposit. Last I heard in late December is that the final Mickey is in production. I think its a great way to get info about the park, especially about the really great animals many people overlook on their way to the other attractions, and the "messages" each area has.
