Hi Whitney! Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! My mom always said the right pair of ears are the cherry on top of the perfect park outfit. Or something like that.
There are a few ways of buying a monogrammed ear hat before you start your trip. (Headbands, sadly, are unable to be personalized.)
The first is to order ears from Disney's online store,
shopdisney.com. You'll find over 100 results, everything from the Toy Story Alien to Stitch to the classic black and red little beauties. Look for the options that say "Personalizable" as these will be able to be monogrammed (for an additional fee) before they are sent to you. They can even be shipped to your Walt Disney World Resort Hotel up to three days before you check-in for a $5 per package fee. Just be sure to include 'guest+reservation number' in the shipping address field.
Your next option would be to order from
Disney Floral and Gifts. Here you can order monogrammed ears, and even add them to a custom gift basket, that will be waiting for you in your room upon check-in. Order online or call (407) 939-4438. Also ask if they have any additional styles not listed online.
Lastly, you can order a pair of ears from shopdisney.com to have sent to your house or hotel and then have them monogrammed once you're at Walt Disney World Resort. All four theme parks have one shop each that can customize them, as well as
World of Disney Store at Disney Springs. The actual time spent in the machine is just a few minutes, however the wait could take up to a few hours. It just really depends on when you catch them.
I hope this helped with your planning a bit, Whitney, and we'll see you real soon!
