Now You Can Customize Your Mickey Mouse Ears at Disneyland

Anyone who has ever been to Disneyland is no doubt familiar with the super popular Mickey Mouse ear hats that are worn by guests throughout the park. Mickey Mouse ear hats, or simply "ears", as they are commonly referred to, have been a popular souvenir item for decades. Mickey Mouse ear hats have evolved over time to include many different styles aside from the basic red or blue cap with black ears. There are now bride and groom ears, princess ears, and pirate ears, to name a few. In what might be the most exciting twist yet in Mickey Mouse ear hats, Disneyland is now offering ears that can be completely customized.

Having your Mickey Mouse ears customized doesn't just mean having your name embroidered on the back anymore. In May of 2008, the Gag Factory souvenir shop, located in Disneyland's Toon Town, began selling completely customizable ears. You might be wondering how a pair of Mickey Mouse ears can be customized, beyond name embroidering. Keep reading for a complete and detailed explanation!

First, customers choose an earless dome cap. The dome caps are available in a large variety of colors and styles, including shimmery sorcerer Mickey blue, flocked gray, gold, flat black, and shimmering black. There is also an array of dome cap offerings in shades that little princesses will love, including shimmery pink, pink with a fluffy pink trim, lavender with a Mickey embroidered pattern, and white with the same Mickey embroidered pattern. There is also a lime green dome cap covered in light blue Mickey Mouse head shapes. The dome caps are priced at $5.95 each.

Once customers have chosen their dome cap, it's time to pick ears. The ears snap right onto the dome caps, and are offered in several colors and styles, such as black, white, pink, silver, gold, green, yellow, and blue, and some ears have decorations on them. There's even a set of fluffy pink ears! Ears are priced separately, at $2.50 per ear. Ears simply snap onto the dome caps.
