The weather is CHILLY, it’s almost February, and we’ve got Valentine’s Day on the brain. Around Disney World, we’ve been checking out the recent additions to the Genie+ system and admiring the new 50th Anniversary merchandise, but we noticed something WEIRD while we were in Fantasyland.
Can you believe it’s almost February already?!
It’s no secret that Disney has been experiencing some supply issues lately, and our latest discovery is further proof that the situation is still ongoing. Take a look at what we found!
A few years back, Disney started making fancy light-up Mickey balloon ears. At the time, those ears were different than any of the other Minnie ears we’d seen, so we were pretty excited about them!
The O.G. Mickey Balloon Ears
Later, we started seeing more fun colors, and even a Halloween-themed version of the Mickey balloon ears!
How cute!
Back in 2020, Disney released a pair of wintry light-up Mickey balloon ears during the holiday season.
These were the old ears!
But this year, Disney’s updated version of the Mickey balloon ears arrived in Disney World MUCH later! The holiday season is over, Disney! We did find these on shopDisney a few weeks ago, but now they’re also in Disney World.
They are very cute!
Technically, we’re still in the middle of a COLD winter, so you could still wear these now! The headband features a cute little embroidered phrase that reads, “SNOW much fun!”
We love a good winter pun
Each ear has a different little snowman. These guys were featured on some of Disney’s other holiday merchandise from the December collection.
The snowmen are so fun!
On the back, you get a better look at the Mickey balloons! It’s a little hard to tell in the light, but these ears light up a pretty blue color.
Here’s a look at the back!
They may be a little late, but we still think these ears are SUPER cute! What do you think? Would you rock these ears in late January/early February?
Would you wear these after Christmas?
These winter-themed ears are $32.86, and we found them in the Fantasy Faire store in Fantasyland.
