Hi Tina!
Thanks so much for stopping by with your question - I'm happy to help!
I, too, was super excited to see the new Minnie Mouse ears with interchangeable bows on the
Disney Parks Blog Unboxed - New 2017 Merchandise video. I love wearing different mouse ears to match my outfits, so the new Minnie ears speak my love language. You can change the bow on the headband to match your "park outfit" of the day! I've visited Walt Disney World Resort twice since seeing the video, and have had my eyes peeled in the shops looking for the new ears. I also can't wait to get my hands on those awesome Haunted Mansion "Stretching Room" socks and the small pet collar - so cute!
For your answer, I went straight to the source and asked
Steven Miller, Disney's Merchandise Communications Manager (and the star of the video!), when Guests could expect to find the new Minnie ears in merchandise locations at Walt Disney World. The Minnie Mouse mix and match headbands won't be available until a bit later this year. There isn't a confirmed release date at this time, but keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for an article from Steven when details are finalized. Hopefully it won't be too long before the Minnie Mouse ears are in the stores! If you can't get to Walt Disney World to purchase the ears, make sure to check the
Shop Disney Parks Mobile App - where thousands of Disney Parks products are available for purchase and can be mailed right to your door.
