Hi Danielle,
Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, and thanks for bringing your question to us. Your question is filled with so much Walt Disney World awesomeness, and I can’t wait for you to experience it all soon!
Danielle, the refurbishments at
Disney’s Pop Century Resort are not quite done, though many areas of the resort have completed refurbishments at this time. Have you seen pictures of the refurbished rooms? They look fantastic, and I love the Pop art Pluto over the second bed. If you’d like to request a refurbished room, give a quick call to Walt Disney World Reservations at (407) 939-1936 to add that request to your reservation. Just a note that these requests are not guaranteed, but it doesn’t hurt to try!
My family loves resort gift shops – in fact, we collect magnets from each resort where we stay – and Everything Pop Shopping and Dining gets a gold star because not only can you shop there, but it’s the food court too! You will absolutely find Minnie Ears there in a
variety of styles. If you’re looking for the classic Mickey hat that you can get your name embroidered on, you’ll likely have to shop in the theme parks for those, but there will be an assortment of Minnie Ear headbands in the gift shop for sure. You can even grab my favorite park treat – the Dole Whip – while you’re there.
Rock those ears, my friend! I consider Minnie Ears an essential element of a park outfit – I have a big collection so I can coordinate with my outfits and plans (I always wear my pineapple ones on Dole Whip days). You will see lots of Guests wearing ears in the parks, so if you want to join the tribute to our favorite mice, I say go live your dream!
Wishing you a magical vacation,
Robyn
