When it comes to Disney World souvenirs, we bet the most popular are EARS!
Like, you GOTTA’ have ears when you go to the parks, right? It’s a theme park MUST. First visits often mean getting those personalized ear hats, but you also need a pair of Minnie ears for every outfit, right? (Well, we do. 😂) However, there are just SO MANY TO CHOOSE FROM that it’s hard to keep track of every pair. Well, we’re here to help!
Here’s EVERY single pair of ears we’ve seen in Disney World in 2023 so far! We have continued to update this post throughout the years as more (and more… and MORE!) Ears have hit the scene!
January 2023
The first pair of ears we spotted in Disney World in 2023 just happened to be dedicated to the PUNNIEST ride in Disney World. The Mickey’s Main Attraction Jungle Cruise Ears even have a little Skipper hat on them!
Do you love The Little Mermaid? These Little Mermaid Ears were made for you! There’s a shell in the middle and the ears are sparkly with pearls — what’s not to love?
Next, we spotted some ears straight from Wakanda. The Namor Ears are dedicated to one of Marvel’s newest characters. They have a fun beaded design with sails on the back!
Speaking of beading, Disney World released a pair of Beaded Ears that are literally ALL about beads. Even the bow is made out of beads and the ears have Mickey-shaped beads on them.
Disney recently released the LAST of its 50th anniversary collection, which included the 50th Anniversary Grand Finale Castle Ears — instead of a bow, they have a golden Cinderella Castle in the middle of them.
If you’re obsessed with a certain ride in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, you HAVE to get the Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway Adaptive Ears that have a plush Chuuby singing in the middle of them! Nothing can stop us now!
The Walt Disney Company is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, so you KNOW there are some new ears. The Walt Disney Eras Ears have a clapperboard springing around on top of them. Also, check out those clear ears with stars! So VERY old Hollywood.
Okay, you Pixar fans. We have got the ears for you! If you love Toy Story 4, you’ll NEED the Ducky and Bunny Ears. Look at how FUZZY they are!

Getting ready to GRADUATE?? we spotted these Graduation Mickey Ears at the Emporium in Magic Kingdom for the Class of 2023!

An Oswald ears headband has been released in Disney World and online as part of the 100th Anniversary Celebration of The Walt Disney Company, and it seriously couldn’t be any cuter!
These new Lion King Minnie Ears are the perfect accessory for a day in Animal Kingdom! They have a beautiful sunset color scheme on the fun tassels around each ear, and the faux suede material is what we imagine a lion’s fur would feel like!
We first spotted these at Island Mercantile in Animal Kingdom — but fair warning, they’re some of the pricier ears we’ve seen recently at $58.00. But, the beading and embroidery work just might make them worth it!

July 2023
Check out the Disney100 Platinum Mickey and Minnie Ear Headband. The headband is silver (or “platinum,” apparently) with an Art Deco-inspired style. But be aware that this pair comes with a warning…
The headband is actually pretty cute, and we like the unique look. But the problem with these particular ears is that they HURT. We would NOT recommend trying to wear these all day in the parks; however, if you just like the look of the ears and want to display them in your home or maybe just wear them for a little while, they might be perfect. . You can get these for $23.47.
