Ears are EVERYWHERE in Disney!
Disney is known to release TONS of ears every single year, and sometimes it can be hard to keep up. But that’s why we’re here! We kept track of how many ears Disney released last year and plan to do the same this year. So check out all the ears Disneyland has released in 2023 so far! We will continue to update this post as more ears are released throughout the year.
January 2023
The first ears released in Disneyland in 2023 were these Beaded Minnie Ears! They’re pink with light blue beaded Mickeys on the ears and a darker blue beaded bow in the middle.
Then we spotted these Pink Hearts and Flowers Ears, which are VERY pink. The ears have pink rosettes all over, while the pink lace bow in the middle has hearts in an allover print and another rosette in the middle.
Then we spotted the 2023 Lunar New Year Ears! This Lunar New Year is the Year of the Rabbit, so these ears have the White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland, Rabbit from Winnie the Pooh, and Judy Hopps from Zootopia on the other.
Soon after, we found the Main Attraction Collection Jungle Cruise Ears. These ears have a wheel and parrot as one ear and a life preserver and a pineapple as the other. The ears are tied together in the middle with a Jungle Cruise skipper hat!
Next, we spotted the Pink and Blue Corduroy Ears. These adorable pink ears are tied together in the middle with a large blue bow!
Then the 100th Anniversary began and we spotted the 100th Anniversary Ears! These purple and black ears have artwork inspired by the parks on the ears and stars on the purple bow.
In addition to the first pair of 100th Anniversary ears, Disneyland also released the Disney100 Walt Disney Studios Ears. These ears are transparent with confetti inside and a printed production flow chart on the outside of the ears. In the middle is a bobble vintage Walt Disney Studios clapboard.
At the end of January, we spotted the newest version of Ariel Ears for $34.99 .
February 2023
We found these yellow quilted ears from the Emporium in Disneyland for $34.99!
