Hey there, Ashlyn. Welcome to planDisney, the happiest corner of the internet. We're thrilled that you stopped by to ask us this question. It won't be much longer until you leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow and fantasy, so let's get to your question to make sure you're ready.
A customized pair of ears is such a great souvenir to take home to remind you of all the magical memories made during your visit to the Disneyland Resort. Customization is completed within the same day that you drop your ears off. How long it takes will really depend on how many orders there are ahead of you. You can always check with the Cast Member on how long the wait is before placing your order.
You can get your ears customized at the
Kingswell Shop in Disney California Adventure Park or
Plaza Point in Disneyland Park. I recommend arriving earlier in the day to ensure you get your ears. When it's busy, the line for customizations may close early to accommodate all of the orders that they've received. There are so many fun designs and colors that your choices are practically endless. Keep in mind that there will be some things that you might not be able to get customized on your ears. The friendly Cast Member will be able to guide you through the process.
If, for some reason, you're not able to get your customized ears, you might consider personalizing a pair of ears with embroidery. During my last visit, I purchased a Mickey bag and opted to have my name embroidered on the back of it. It only took about 20 minutes to complete (with no other requests ahead of me), and it looks so good! The red thread really pops on the bag and I love that my bag is personalized, making it a little different from all the rest.
You're going to have such a great time.
California Adventure is celebrating its 25th anniversary and there's no better way to celebrate than with a flight on
Soarin' Over California. This is my favorite flight path for this attraction. I love gliding over the orange groves with the sweet smell of citrus in the air.
Ashyln, I hope this is helpful as you get ready for your visit. Please
come back to visit us with any other questions before your trip. Here's hoping you have your best Disney day at the Happiest Place on Earth, and that you leave with a gorgeous pair of customized ears. Let the countdown to the magic begin!
