Greetings, Lexie! Thanks so much for stopping by planDisney--it's the best day ever anytime I get to chat with a fellow
Tangled fan. I recently embarked on my own quest for the elusive Rapunzel Ear Headband, so I certainly understand wanting to add this special item to your collection.
This purple ear headband, featuring all sorts of sweet details inspired by Rapunzel's dress and other core elements of
Tangled, was initially released at
Disneyland Resort in June. I saw it first on social media shortly before I visited The Happiest Place on Earth and immediately messaged my planDisney besties
Melissa and
Jenna that we would be on a mission to acquire it!
Apparently, many other discerning Guests had the same idea--we asked in virtually every store in the park and it was sold out everywhere. I had given up hope, but while in line at the
World of Disney store, I spotted a single pair stuck into a bin of hand sanitizers. It was a Disney miracle!
The following morning, we were in the parks early and saw a Cast Member put out a batch of headbands in a store--Jenna snapped one up, and they were all sold when we passed by again a couple of hours later.
Lexie, all this to say--this headband is a hot commodity! Disney Store started selling the
Rapunzel Ear Headband earlier this month, but now it is showing as sold out. I would keep an eye on the website and the Disney Store Instagram for any updates about a restock. There appear to be many available for resale on online marketplaces, as well.
I've got a dream, Lexie--that your persistence pays off and that you'll soon be the proud possessor of a Rapunzel headband of your own. Thanks again for visiting planDisney, and please reach out anytime if we can help with any other questions.
Stay Magical!
Susan
