    Hi. I'm planning on getting my 1 year old and ear hat embroidered for his birthday. Are only the plain black hats eligible for embroidery, or can I get the Happy Birthday hat embroidered with his name instead?

    Hi Samantha!

    Thanks for bringing this question to planDisney! What a sweet souvenir for your little guy’s birthday!

    I’m happy to report that, at this time, you can choose the type of Mickey ears you’d like embroidered. There are a few places in Disney World that may offer embroidery during your trip. I’d check in with the Cast Members at these shops to see what your options are. 

    Curtain Call Collectibles is located right at the front of Magic Kingdom near Town Square Theater (where you can meet Mickey!). This would probably be my first stop, as they usually have a good selection! It’s one of my boys’ favorite spots for souvenirs in general, actually! You can also head back to Fantasy Faire in Fantasyland near Mickey’s PhilharMagic. 

    If you’ll be at Disney Springs, Disney’s Wonderful World of Memories is a great spot to check out! They have a wide variety Mickey ears and embroidery options. It’s located near Rainforest Cafe, which is all the way toward the right side of Disney Springs if you’re looking at the map.

    I recommend heading to the shop early in the day, as embroidery can take up to a few hours. That way, you can enjoy your day at the Magic Kingdom or Disney Springs while the Cast Members work on your little one’s Mickey ears.  

    Make sure you also stop by the front desk of your resort or Guest Relations to grab a complimentary celebration pin for his birthday, as well. The Cast Members love to wish everyone wearing one a happy birthday, which always makes for a fun moment! 

    I hope your son has the best birthday celebration at Disney World! Let us know if you have any other questions!
