Hello, Danee!
Oh, there is nothing more MAGICAL than owning a pair of Mickey Mouse Ears! Your smile will shine bright as you gaze at your son and see those MAGICAL ears upon his head. That view will leave a lasting impression due to so much cuteness. However, I do have one small suggestion. Adults look just as cute donning a pair of Mickey Ears, too, so make sure to grab a hat for yourself as well.
One of the great things I love about
Walt Disney World is that excellent customer service is what they like to provide for their guests daily. I can certainly say from experience that they have always received an A+ in my books. The stores will not have a cutoff time. I have seen guests walk in 5 minutes till closing and Cast Members were delighted to monogram several hats. However, with all this being said, guests love to do all their shopping at the end of the day which could lead to very long wait times. I have witnessed guests leaving without their souvenir Mickey Ears because they were told that the wait time could be up to an hour. I recommend visiting at least an hour prior to park closing or sometime in the middle of the day.
Before I let you go, I simply must share my most favorite place to shop in the Magic Kingdom.
Big Top Souvenirs, located in Fantasyland, has such a great selection of Disney merchandise, including embroidered Mickey Ears. They also have a variety of tasty treats to choose from. My favorite is the chocolate covered pineapple. It is a "must do" with every Walt Disney World visit. Sorry, I could not let you go without sharing this with you.
Have a MAGICAL day and "SEE YOU REAL SOON!"
