I Got My Gold Ears!!

[Maridw]

Just returned from our trip and I got a pair of the new gold ears for the Happiest Celebration. We were in MK the day that they came out and it looked like we were one of the few people to get them that day.

When we went to HDDR that night the CM's there were really curious about them. They hadn't seen them yet. I will try and post a pic from HDDR that shows my ears(sort of). I think they are great.

How Cool! Please post photos! I hope we can get some while we're there in May. Oh, by the way, I wanted to say hello from a former "PanamaCitian"!!! (We're actually moving back there this summer! )

I'd like to see pictures too. I've never heard of the Gold Ears.

Can't wait to see the photos either. How was the trip? Give us details...

It was a great trip. We were really kind of lazy. The first two days of our trip we didn't do WDW. We went to see the Titanic Exhibit and enjoyed that. The only thing I wasn't too happy with was that they kind of rushed you at a couple spots. But overall it was very interesting. The tickets for the exhibit have names of passengers and a description of the person. At the end of the tour, you can see if you were a survivor or not. My DD & I survived but DH didn't.

Since we are military we also took advantage of the Here's to the Heros salute at Sea World. DH & I hadn't been to the one here in FL so it was a nice change. I got some good pics there.

We stayed at the Pop Century and enjoyed that. We were in the 50's A building and it was right next to Classic Hall.

We went to MK on the 2nd and just kind of wandered around, didn't do too many rides. I forgot to grab the camera so I didn't get any pics in the park. We were going to the first HDDR so instead of going back to the resort, we went over to CR and looked around then back to MK to catch the boat to FW & HDDR. Really enjoyed that since we hadn't done HDDR in quite a few years.
Did a tour of DVC and that wasn't too bad - got 3 Quick & Casual vouchers from there for doing the tour. Headed to MGM that night. Went to Epcot on the last day. Really enjoyed Turtle Talk with Crush. It was so cute. The facial expressions were priceless. Dorie was there and we all learned to talk whale.
Took lots of pics at the resort. DH & DD played in the arcade one night and DH ended up giving his tickets to a couple little boys. They were thrilled because with the few they had, and DH's they ended up with over 600 tics.

DD won lots on Colorama and there wasn't any thing she wanted so when she ran hers thru the machine, she broke them up into groups. She then took the total tickets and gave them to different little ones that didn't have very many.

All in all, we really enjoyed our vacation, even though we really didn't ride too many things. We just enjoyed shopping and wandering around.

Can't wait to get a pair of the gold ears.

Me too! We collect ears every trip (DL), and the gold ones will really stand out as our first WDW trip.

We went to Scoop Sanderson's pin talk last Wednesday, and there was slide show with this guy Steve from Merchandising, and we got to see a bunch of the new stuff for the Happiest Celebration! It was really cool, and Scoop had on his gold ears already! I was able to get a new t-shirt, magnet and incredible towel all with the "family" logo for the celebration, that's Mickey & the gang in their formal wear. It's awesome. They also had an awesome duffel bag with the more classic logo for the celebration- lots of great stuff!
