I heard from a very reliable source today that the chain stitched names on the back of ears (the $2 variety) will be discontinued in the new year, to be replaced by the computerized method (otherwise known as the $7 embroidery). It's a shame - that stitching has been around since the park opened. Not only that, but any time I need ears embroidered, I have to pick them up the following day. Don't know how they're going to handle that!
