Hi Taylor,
Tangled is my family's absolute favorite movie, and I also recently went on a quest for the sought-after Rapunzel ears on a trip to Disney World. I understand the need for these beautiful ears and will do my best to help you find them. I can't make any promises, but I can tell you how my planDisney pal Susan and I found success and got these coveted ears!
These ears are a hot commodity so your best chance of snagging them is to do a quick walk-through at any store you see that sells Disney ears while you are walking around. All of the shops at Disney World regularly restock, so you may get lucky walking through a store that has recently reloaded its merchandise. That being said, the highest volume stores will get restocked the most often. I have seen the Rapunzel ears at the
Creations Shop in EPCOT so you should check out this store while you are there. It also has some of the most unique options for Disney-themed fashion and accessories. Even if you don't find the prize you will find some other things to love.
I have also spotted these ears at the
Emporium on Main Street in Magic Kingdom. This store is super busy so it gets restocked often and typically has the newest merchandise along with the best selection of seasonal specialty items. During your visit to the Emporium, you can expect to see a plethora of fantastic holiday-themed items that are worth making room for in your luggage along with a huge selection of ears.
The last place I would check is
World of Disney, located in Disney Springs. This store is massive and has the largest selection of Disney ears I have seen. You could spend hours roaming in this store, drooling over all of the must-have Disney merchandise. Once you finish shopping, make sure to check out
Amorette's Patisserie for a decadent treat to reward yourself for your success or drown your sorrows if you still haven't gotten your hands on the prized ears.
Don't forget to embrace Rapunzel's positive attitude and enjoy the journey as much as the destination while on your hunt!
Happy Planning,
Jenna
