Hi, Kathleen!
Welcome to planDisney! I'm really excited about your question because I love to shop for the perfect souvenir.
I don't know if or when the classic black Mickey Ears will be back on the shopDisney website, but I am happy to report that this item is a staple at the Disneyland Resort! You shouldn't have any problems locating a new set of ears at the parks, because the Mad Hatter himself has two stores inside Disneyland Park:
Each Mad Hatter location can also personalize your new ear hat! Because Mickey and Minnie Ears are so very popular, you'll also find them in many stores across both parks and the
World of Disney in Downtown Disney District. Whether you go for the classic black ears or you spot a new pair to love, I'm sure you'll find something that suits you to a "tea" as the Mad Hatter might say!
If you'll be doing other shopping around the resort (who doesn't?) then you might want to try
Merchandise Mobile Checkout on the
Disneyland Mobile App! That way you can complete your purchase through your mobile device and skip long lines at the checkout counters. Pretty great, right?
Kathleen, I am so excited for you to get your ears on and enjoy a day at the parks. I hope your visit is as happy and delightful (but a little less crazy) as an unbirthday party!
Keep moving forward!
Amanda
