Taking your child on his or her first trip to Walt Disney World just isn't complete without getting them their first pair of Mickey ears. There are so many choices out there! You can choose to make your own pair from tutorials on Pinterest, or even buy them from DisneyStore.com, but there is something to be said for waiting until you get to Walt Disney World and creating an entire event out of the purchase! 

As soon as you pass under the train depot at Magic Kingdom and head to the right you see the Town Square theater where you can meet the Mouse himself and to the right of that is a small gift shop called Curtain Call Collectibles. This is actually part of the exit after you meet Mickey and Tinker Bell, so you could go meet Mickey and then pick out your Ears. The selections change often and the prices start at $13.95. There are infant and junior hats, as well as adult. 

You can buy the hat as is or add a little personalized flair to it! You can add a name for $3.00 or even write a saying (for example, "Happily Ever After" for honeymooners) for $7.00 per line. Then choose your thread color and font. 

After you purchase it the personalization will begin! If there are no hats waiting to be embroidered they can do yours right before your eyes and have it ready within about 5 minutes. If they are backed up you can leave it there and pick it up within a few hours. 
​Then take your brand new ear hat for a ride on It's a Small World!

Other Walt Disney World locations to get personalized ears: The Five and Dime at Hollywood Studios or Mouse Gears at Epcot. So get out there are get your Ears on!

There are a number of deals currently out for Walt Disney World, but to sweeten the deal I am offering personalized, handmade T-Shirts from Handmade by Hilary for up to 3 people per room.
