Hi there, Alexis, and welcome to planDisney!
To date, customizable items from Walt Disney World Resort are my favorite gifts for my family and friends. My little one also received a Mickey ear hat when he got his first haircut at Main Street, U.S.A.'s
Harmony Barber Shop. The ears, like many that you can find around the property, already came with an embroidered "My First Haircut." But of course, there are some locations where you can add something even more personal.
Here are some locations where you can get a pair of classic Mickey ear hats customized:
-
Box Office Gifts at the Town Square Theater
-
Fantasy Faire shop near Mickey's Philharmagic show
-
Disney's Wonderful World of Memories at Disney Springs
-
Gateway Gifts located near Spaceship Earth at EPCOT
Now, when it comes to what you can and cannot put on the hat, the most popular option that I've seen or have ordered myself is a name. But even with names, you'll want to be careful with odd nicknames. I ordered a hat for a friend of mine, but the Cast Member had to check in with someone else to make sure that the name was appropriate. Some like to commemorate moments or announcements, so you'll see many "It's a Boy!, "My First Visit," and "Class of 2023" hats as well.
I hope that that answers your question, Alexis. If you need clarification or have another question, please
give us a holler here at planDisney if you have additional questions. We are more than happy to share our tips and tricks with you!
Magic always,
LeAndra
