New Designer Mickey ears arrive at Disney Springs and online

Disney has collaborated with different designers to bring to Guests unique pairs of Mickey and Minnie ears and ear headbands. Heidi Klum, Disney Imagineer Kim Irvine, Imagineer Kevin Rafferty and Betsey Johnson are only a few of the designers who’ve created the famous ears lately. And now we’ve come across a Minnie Mouse ear headband that has our jaws on the floor! It’s the newest member of Disney’s Designer Ear Collection by designer Vera Wang.

This beautiful designer Minnie Mouse ear headband was created by Vera Wang and has a certain bridal flair to it. Disney Parks Blog describes them as “designed with elevated fabrics such as black velvet ears and organza, topped off with a large white silk bow, true to Vera Wang’s classic style.” The headband also includes pronged crystals that are hand-sewn on the front and back with exquisite, intricate beading. It also comes with a comb and a detachable veil.

Vera Wang’s designer ears join a gorgeous collection of fan-favorite ears–some breathtaking, some ornate, some whimsical, but all absolutely Disney magical! We love every part of the collection. Here are just a few of our favorites so far:

The ears are adorned with a few of Mickey Mouse’s iconic looks throughout the years. Mickey’s original look in 1928 from Plane Crazy sits on a sketchpad on the right ear.

An abbreviation of one of Walt Disney’s most iconic quotes, “I only hope that we never lose sight of one thing—that it was all started by a mouse” is written on the other ear.

The back of the ears have “Mickey Mouse” written in the red and yellow font we see used today.

Mickey’s latest look, as seen in Mickey & Minnie’s Runway Railway at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, can be seen next to the lime green writing.

These ears are available at the World Showplace Festival Market at EPCOT, and will only be available for a limited time.
