Whenever I visit the Disney parks I always take a selection of Minnie ears with me to wear. The parks don’t always have the perfect pair, so sometimes turning to small shops can be the best way to finish your Disney outfit. While they can sometimes be more expensive than park ears, they can often be comfier to wear for a full day and in a style that may suit your occasion or outfit better. Or perhaps their design just better expresses your love for a film or character.
Ears Ever After (UK) is a favourite of mine and I can personally attest to the fact that her ears are really comfy to wear for a whole day. She has a wide range of designs from plain to patterned, sequinned to themed, and more beyond. Plus she has a range of apparel that match some of them and even makes other accessories and ear holders too. I have her ‘Oh Bother’ Winnie the Pooh ears and they get compliments every time I wear them.
The headbands at Pixie Dust Magic Co. (US) are unique in the fact that they’re not ears! Their ‘Mouse Crowns’ come dotted with little Mickey heads across them in different themes and colour ways. I absolutely love this style and really need to add a pair to my collection.
Park Hopper Design (US) has an amazing array of ears and even creates some designs based on non-Disney related topics. They have a range of Regency ears, which are themed to what the princesses might wear if they were in Bridgerton, which seem perfect with new season currently streaming. I really like the personalised birthday ears too with confetti ears and birthday candle numbers on the bow.
Magic Mouse Ears (US) make beautifully detailed ears, but sadly they only ship within the US, so I’ve never been able to order a pair, plus they’re a little out of my budget. I do however keep an eye on their Instagram to see what themes they come up with and their Christmas designs are some of my absolute favourites.
Originears Designs (US) are pretty special as once you buy the headband you can swap out the 3D printed ears for different designs. This saves a lot of space when packing your ears! You can also swap out the bows for unique central pieces, like Flynn and Rapunzel’s boat to match the Tangled ears. I’ve also seen some Peter Pan and Frozen ones so you’d have the perfect trio for visiting the new Fantasy Springs area at Tokyo Disneyland.
