Hiya Jo!
Welcome to planDisney, and thanks for asking about one of my favorite topics...shopping!
My best Disney shopping recommendation is if you love something you should purchase it right away. You never know how long a product will be available! Shopping for souvenirs at the
Disney Store website is a great way to grab the perfect souvenir for your trip. I called and spoke to a Cast Member this morning (Hi, Preston!) and he said that as long as the ears can be personalized you can probably bring them with you to have that special touch added in the parks. I would recommend bringing your receipt as proof of purchase, too.
Once you've got your ears on you might decide they need a little more sparkle. One of my favorite things to do at Disneyland Park is fly by the
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique to ask a Fairy Godmother's Apprentice for a sprinkle of pixie dust! Happy thoughts are complimentary, you know! We started doing this with my daughter when she was just a toddler and we still enjoy doing it now...even though she is stubbornly growing older. Where is Neverland when you need it, right?
Don't forget that there are many places to find a great set of ears in the parks! I highly recommend shopping at
The Mad Hatter (either on Main Street, U.S.A. or in Fantasyland) if headgear is your goal. There are many more choices in the store than there are online, in my experience!
Whatever ears you choose, I hope your visit is full of fun, Jo! Happy shopping!
Keep moving forward!
