Hiya Lauren,
Welcome back to planDIsney, and congratulations! Welcoming a little Mouseketeer is so exciting, and it is a magical idea to add a little Disney touch to your announcement! I recently welcomed a little Mouseketeer in December and used an embroidered Mickey ear hat to share his name with family and friends. It was perfect, and now he has a little hat that matches his big sister’s! Now, let’s see about getting you a Mickey Mouse ear hat for your announcement.
The great news is that you can pick up ear hats in the parks (and get them embroidered). I purchased both of mine at
Curtain Call Collectibles in Magic Kingdom near the entrance to the theme park. I’ve also found them at
Fantasy Faire in Fantasyland and
Gateway Gifts in EPCOT. When I was at Hollywood Studios last trip, I didn’t see any infant ear hats available, but that was a few months ago. They were inside
Celebrity 5 & 10 when I last saw them, so I recommend checking there. If you have your heart set on Hollywood Studios as your announcement backdrop, then you can always stop by
Disney’s Wonderful World of Memories at Disney Springs before you head there just to be safe. They have a large selection of personalizable ear hats (and other souvenirs) that you could use for your announcement!
I hope this was helpful, Lauren. If you want a way to get great photos of your announcement, look into a
Capture Your Moment photoshoot. I did one for my maternity shoot, and I loved the photos! They were taken during a busy time in the theme parks, and you would never have known because the Cast Members were so skilled at getting shots that it looked like it was just us in the theme parks. It was so much easier than me having to time our photos around foot traffic perfectly. Please come back and see us if you need anything else. Congratulations again!
Happy Planning,
Ashley F.
