description of gift sent in post 24 (no bride ears - just bride headbands)

[disneyholic family]

so i was just on the phone with the disney florist - working on those gifts i wrote about a few months back...
anyway, it seems there's a cross-property shortage of bride-ears...
they have groom ears, but no bride-ears...
they only have a bride headband - which has ears, but isn't that traditional mickey ears hat sort of thing....

how did they manage to run out of something like that?

or perhaps it was on purpose? they make a much bigger profit on the bride headbands over the ears..

the person i spoke with said that she much prefers the ears...thinks they're much cuter on...
and that everyone who calls for them, wants the ears not the headband..


oh well....not exactly a dealbreaker....

from my point of view, the advantage of the brideears is that you have a little hat that actually covers your head a bit to protect from sun-stroke...

do they not realize that in florida you should wear a hat, not a headband?

What a nuisance (and how odd!) So were you not able to order any then or was it just a heads up that they are currently in short supply?

I am curious now, as my DD has her heart set on getting a set of these this trip:

So are the ones in the pic above the 'ears' or the headband (I didn't even know there were two different kinds)

have you tried memoriesbybetsy to see if she has some in stock. Might be worth a try.

so cute!!!

i think this is the one they have.....the ears on the headband..
what they don't have are the mickey ears hat one- the one that looks like a mickey hat, but for a bride (in white with a veil)..

she said i can't order them - that they're not available anywhere on property - including in the stores.....don't know if that's true or she was just saying that..

anyway, the headband one is available....

i'll see if i can find a picture to post...


as for betsy - she also just has the headband now....

I think that over on the weddings board, it is the opinion is that the bride ears have been discontinued along withe the 'top hat' groom ears. I may have got my wires crossed though!!

could be - at the disney gift line she didn't say discontinued - she said "cross-property shortage" - which well could be disney speak for we've discontinued it....

Phew!! DD dithered about the entire trip last year deciding whether to buy them or not. Of course you know what happens - on the plane coming home, she sat lamenting the fact that she never bought them. When I asked her why if she wanted them so badly she replied: "Well I was hoping you would say you'd just get them for me so I wouldn't have to spend my money ....."

I am relieved that they are available. I had a small 'panic' when I read your post.

I would love to see the 'hat' ones. I am sure I have probably seen them before but I draw a complete blank trying to picture them

that's a very familiar sounding story!!!
so now i just say , "go for it" - assuming it's not insanely expensive ....
for example, there will be no dooney & burke bag purchases....of that you can be sure....

Would this be the hat version?

 

[crabbie1]

I had both the headband and the hat but preferred the headband. I found the hat uncomfortable and my hair stuck to my head with it. Ex hubbt had the black tophat. Sold mine on ebay. Hv u looked on there or amazon?

It is as a gift so it would need to be a new one. Although Disney has a Parks Merchandise website (if I can find it) and perhaps Beth can arrange to have that delivered straight to whoever is putting the gift basket together.

 

[2Tiggies]

From the US Disney Store (this is not the website I was referring to but they do have them here )

http://www.disneystore.com/disney/store/DSIProductDisplay?isSingleMatch=true&catalogId=10002&langId=-1&productId=1254775&catalogFromSearch=10002&storeId=10051&N=1000292&ddkey=httpSIPageDisplayView

The Laughing Place store has them too but they are $8 more for the identical item there.

I also had the headband - it looked lovely, was very comfortable and stayed on much more easily than the hat!

It happens to the best of us at times - even reading threads and missing something

yes, that's the old style hat..

i'm just going to go with whatever the disney florist has....

it makes sense that the headband would be more comfortable - less sweaty - than the hat...

and DD likes wearing headbands...

when she went to tokyo disney, she wore a headband the entire time...a stitch headband (they're VERY big on stitch in tokyo - go figure)...

 

[orangetiggs]

The hat is the new version, i had the headband in 2008 and no hat version, the hat version then replaced the headband

but now the hat isn't available, only the headband - so maybe they've gone back to the headband...

the headband is what the disney florist has....so whether DD likes it or not, that's what she's getting

 

[disneyholic family]

i just checked on the disneyworld merchandise website:

they have the tuxedo ears groom hat:
http://www.disneystore.com/disney-p...key-mouse-ear-hat/mp/1254789/1000809+1000292/

but no hat for brides..
and they don't show the headband either....but the disney florist claimed they do have the headband....i hope so!!

 

[Stitch's Greatest Fa]

The hat did not actually replace the headband - first they had an old style hat, then phased it out in favour of the headband, then introduced a new hat which was a choice alongside the headband (new hat shown in the posted photo) - hope it's good whichever you have.
