Hello and welcome to planDisney, Amanda. Thanks for stopping by to ask us this question. I tip my hat (and ears) to you for this question and I am delighted to help.
A great way to accessorize your outfit for fun in the theme parks (or anywhere) is with a great pair of ears. Whether on a headband or a hat, there are so many ways to express your personality. Now this is a bit of a tough one as I've seen things happen in many different ways. I've seen some ears released on
DisneyStore.com at the same time that they are released in the parks, and I've seen some releases become available online after they have been released in the parks. There are even some ears that are park exclusives and not available online.
I tried to consult KnowsMore for help with understanding if there may be a rhyme or reason for this but didn't quite come up with an exact answer. I do have some suggestions to offer when searching for that perfect pair of ears. If you aren't already, I recommend following
@disneystore on Instagram to stay updated on the latest and greatest updates and offerings. I also recommend checking back at the site frequently to see what's new. A quick way to do this is to visit the
"Ear Hats & Headbands" section at DisneyStore.com and then sort the results by "Newest."
Amanda, while this isn't the exact answer you were looking for, I hope I was able to share some helpful suggestions. Most of all, I hope that you find the pair of ears that you've been wanting soon. I'll be sending all the pixie dust your way. In the meantime, let us know if we can help with anything else. We're all ears!
Michelle
