Hi Joanne! Welcome to planDisney!
Bringing home a souvenir from the
Disneyland Resort is a wonderful way to keep the magic alive long after your visit. But there’s something extra special about the iconic Mickey ear hat. It’s a true Disneyland tradition! My family still treasures my daughters’ first pair, and they remain some of our most prized keepsakes.
You’ll find classic Mickey ear hats at multiple locations throughout the Disneyland Resort, but if you’re hoping to add a personal touch with embroidery, there are only a few select spots that offer this service. You can purchase Mickey ear hats and have them embroidered at The Mad Hatter on
Main Street, U.S.A., or in
Fantasyland at Disneyland, as well as at
Elias & Co. in Disney California Adventure and
World of Disney in Downtown Disney. And if another hat style catches your eye, you’ll be happy to know that embroidery is available for a variety of options!
If you’re looking for other personalized keepsakes, I have a few more magical recommendations. First,
Plaza Point on Main Street, features talented Cast Member artists who can personalize ornaments and other items, making for a charming holiday (or year-round!) souvenir. Over at
Crystal Arts, you’ll find stunning etched glass pieces that can also be customized. And one of my favorite hidden gems at the resort is the
Silhouette Studio also on Main Street, where skilled artists can create a custom silhouette portrait of guests; usually in under 90 seconds! Along with our Mickey ear hats, our daughters’ silhouettes are proudly displayed in our home, adding a touch of Disneyland nostalgia to our walls.
One final recommendation, Joanne: be sure to download the
Disneyland app! It’s an incredible planning tool that not only helps you locate merchandise locations (including the ones I mentioned above) but also allows you to check attraction wait times, view entertainment schedules, and place mobile food orders. Because let’s face it, no Disneyland day is complete without a delicious snack!
Joanne, I hope you have a magical visit filled with unforgettable memories. If you ever need more tips to make your Disneyland adventure even more special, please don’t hesitate to visit us again at planDisney.
Wishing you a pixie-dusted trip!
