Disney has released A LOT of ears over the last year or so.
Disney Parks Mickey Balloon Ears
Most of the time, they’re pretty straightforward. The pastel rainbow ears are multicolored. The yellow floral ears are yellow and feature flowers. But a NEW pair of ears have us TOTALLY confused.
Make it purple! Make it blue! No need to debate like the fairies in Sleeping Beauty, Disney’s new befuddling ears can do BOTH!
Purple? Blue?
Do you remember the blue and black vs. gold and white dress debacle?!? Well, it looks like we’ve got a new color debate, and it’s splitting the DFB team apart! About half of us see blue, and the other half see purple. A few people agreed it could be somewhere in between, like a periwinkle. But truly, we are fighting about the color of these ears! The reporter who actually saw them in person says that they are purple, but not everyone is convinced.
What a UNIQUE bow!
While our main concern was what color the ears are, the bow is a story of its own! We aren’t exactly sure what the bow is supposed to be, but it certainly is unique! Some of our DFB team thought it was supposed to be flowers, and some thought it looked like it was inspired by an 80s prom dress. It even looks like it could be a couple of scrunchies sewn on to look like a bow!
So pretty, and yet, so mysterious
We found these ears at Five and Dime in Disney’s California Adventure during A Touch of Disney. These ears are not as dark as Disney’s Potion Purple ears from a few years ago, so we still can’t come to an agreement on what color these ears ACTUALLY are!
These totally remind you of flowers, right?
So, what color do you see? We must settle the debate once and for all so that we can stop fighting about it (we’re not kidding, we had a full argument). We love a good debate (and good Minnie ears!), so when we find more puzzling Disney merch, we’ll let you know where to find it!
We Have NO Idea What This Piece of Disney Merch Is For…But We Bought It!

The ears are a violet blue
I want those purply-blue Minnie Ears more than I’ve ever wanted anything Disney in my life. <3
Call the color…blurple…blue-purple.
The color is obviously a deep periwinkle blue. Periwinkle blue is my best color in clothing. Now, you know. I’m waiting for a 50th birthday Magic Kingdom ear headband. We are turning 50 together.
Indigo!
This is a color that covers both and it’s called indigo. Lol.
Periwinkle blue
The ears look blue in the photo but in person they might be purple. They are nice!
Hyacinth
Maybe this was released at the same time as the new spirit jersey? I just got it, and it’s called “hydrangea” on their website. Soooo blue AND purple? 💜💙
…which might also explain the shape of the bow?
