Graduation ears!

[Shrill]

Hi everyone.

Booked a short trip a few days ago for the end of August for my DD9 and myself. It is a trip to celebrate finishing my Masters degree after returning to school after close to 20 years (and my DD has been very patient throughout the process, so she gets to come). This is our second trip but the first time we've done a mom/daughter trip anywhere.

I just saw the graduation Mickey ears on the parks site. I don't normally get stuff like that (I did not get any ears on our first trip: stuck with t-shirts) as I'm a bit introverted and prefer not to stick out in a crowd. But I love these and might want to buy them. Maybe I'll even wear them!

Will they still be available in the parks at the end of August? We are Canadian so buying ahead is a bit tricky as I'd prefer not to pay through the nose for shipping. B

Also, any other celebratory tips (that won't break the bank) are welcome!

I really think the graduation ears will be sold out by then. You can consider purchasing them online (eBay?) shortly before you arrive & having them sent to your resort. If it were me, I would just suck it up & pay the shipping costs so that I would be guaranteed to have my special souvenir.

I completely get not wanting to pay disney's shipping charges (is it still $60 flat rate to Canada?) I would find an online store like www.yourwdwstore.com to buy from. I have and shipping was much cheaper

There are two different types of graduation ears. In my experience. One will likely still be available in August. Which do you want?

That one will probably be sold out. The larger, blue mortarboard version will likely still be available.

The one you picked is the more popular one. If you want one... buy it now. When they're gone, they're gone.

Ok, thanks everyone. I guess I'd better buy them

I ordered the same ones from a seller on etsy, and had them embroidered with my DD's name so she would have them when we got there. The shipping charges may be cheaper. The seller was Charming Shoppe.

FYI: the other graduation ears, the big blue mortarboard, cannot be embroidered.
