Hiya McKinley!
Thank you for stopping by planDisney with your customized Mickey ear question! Oh boy, you’re in for such a magical keepsake! My husband and I got a pair made for our anniversary this year, and we can’t wait to wear them, year after year.
Now, let’s chat about how to make your ear-resistible dream come true! At this time, ears cannot be customized and shipped ahead of time. However, you do have a few options! You may be able to find the non-customized black Mickey ear headband online (availability varies, so keep checking) and then bring them into Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe at Magic Kingdom for personalization. Alternatively, you can purchase your ears right in the shop and have them customized on-site.
Once you've picked out the perfect pair, show your receipt to a friendly Cast Member, and they’ll walk you through the magical process! You’ll get to choose:
- What you’d like your ears to say
- A fun design, like a classic Mickey hat or Minnie bow
- Your preferred ink color from a list of colors
After placing your order, the Cast Member will confirm everything with you and provide an estimated pickup time. In our experience, we stopped by midday and our ears were ready in just a few hours! They even sent a text notification when they were finished. If you’d like them sooner, I highly recommend heading to the shop first thing in the morning.
Last, I highly recommend purchasing
Memory Maker. Once you have your new personalized ears, you can show them off with some magical photos! Whether in front of Cinderella Castle, Spaceship Earth, or your favorite attraction, it’s a wonderful way to capture the ear-resistible magic of your trip!
McKinley, I hope this helps! If you have any more questions, don’t hesitate to visit us again!
See you real soon.
