Minnie Ears are an iconic fixture in Disney World, and for many Disney fans, one of the MUST-BUY accessories!
With so many shapes and styles out there, though, it’s more than likely that not ALL Minnie Ears are perfect, so we asked our readers what they thought were some of their LEAST favorites!
Whether bejeweled with pearls or shaped like adorable macarons, there are SO MANY gorgeous and collectible Minnie Ears in Disney World! But let’s be real, pizza just isn’t as cute as a macaron.
With such a vast assortment of Minnie Ears introduced in the past several months ALONE, we took to Instagram with the pressing question: “Are there any other ears you’re just not a fan of?” So here are the 10 WORST Minnie Ears, according to YOU!
Wine Ears
Unsurprisingly, it seems most of you would rather drink your wine than wear it. Introduced as a special treat at the Taste of EPCOT Food and Wine Festival, the Wine Ears came with Merlot-colored sequins, a cork-colored bow, and a bouquet of red grapes.
But according to 52% of you who weren’t fans of these, grapes belong in the glass, not on the head.

Fork and Spoon Ears
Another culinary-inspired pair of ears, which looked surprisingly similar to the Wine Ears, also didn’t fare well in the Insta polls. Adorned with royal purple, vintage Mickey animation on the ears, and a pair of utensils on the bow, another 52% of you did NOT approve.
Maybe it’s just something about having a fork sit so close to the face that just doesn’t feel right… .

Figment Ears
We’re starting to sense that purple isn’t your preferred Minnie Ears color, because next on the list is the Figment Ears from the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts! Colored after Figment, they sport a purple and gold pattern, with sequined ears, and a Figment-adorned tag in place of the traditional bow.
Although his sweater game is on POINT, apparently Minnie Ears aren’t Figment’s forte, and 56% of you just weren’t having it.

Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway Ears
Thrilling as a ride, but perhaps less so as Minnie Ears? Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway is an adrenaline rush at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, but maybe it’s just a little too chaotic to wear on your head… .
57% of you aren’t fans of these, which feature Mickey and Minnie bouncing around in the translucent ears, with Goofy’s train perched on top.

Mickey Balloon Ears
This one was honestly kinda surprising! Mickey Balloons are always a BIG hit in Disney World, but apparently you’d rather hold them as actual balloons. Or maybe it’s just a general distaste for winter? We get it.
The wintery Mickey Balloon Ears, with light blue balloons inside clear ears decorated with snowflakes, got a negative reaction from 59% of you!

Mickey Glove Ears
The notion of ears with hands is…a lot to process. So it makes sense that most of you didn’t approve of Disney’s WACKY Mickey Glove Ears.
They’re pretty much exactly what they sound like: a simple black headband with Mickey’s gloved hands in place of the ears. Chilling. 64% of you said “no thanks!”

Pizza Ears
There have been a LOT of food-inspired Minnie Ears over the years, many of which are adorable and delicious-looking! While we always love a good slice of pizza in Disney World, there’s no denying that pizza simply isn’t as adorable as, say, Donut Ears. Or Peppermint Ears.
Clad with a gingham bow, with mini pizzas as ears, it seems 65% of you would rather have your pizza in food form rather than fashion form.

Pandora Ears
They may light up and glow, but you’re simply not impressed by the Pandora Ears from Animal Kingdom.
Although pretty with the florals, the ears themselves are modeled after Na’vi ears, instead of traditional Minnie Ears, which is a tad creepy. 65% of you would agree with that sentiment.
Check out the Pandora-themed ears!
Orange Bird Ears
Well that was fast! One of the NEWEST Minnie Ears in Disney World, the Orange Bird Ears inspired by the Flower & Garden Festival, is already on your “no thanks” list!
With their bright and vibrant orange flowers as ears, a yellow headband, a green bow, and a lil’ Orange Bird, there’s a LOT going on here, and a LOT you don’t like about it, since 70% of votes were anti-Orange Bird!
These brand new ears debuted at the 2021 Flower and Garden Festival!
Viking Ears
Let’s be honest. Disney was really rolling the dice when they entertained the idea of Viking Ears. Gruff, rugged, and primal, the Viking Ears from EPCOT’s Norway Pavilion don’t necessarily fit the bill of standard whimsical Minnie fare.
As the MOST disliked Minnie Ears in Disney World, this horn-studded headgear got a whopping 81% of voters saying they did NOT like them, and truthfully, we get it.
