slo’s WEDNESDAY 6/14 poll - Ears, Hats or Nothing

[ronandannette]

Ears. I found the perfect pair my first time out - black sequins with a sparkly red bow.

Nothing - not really a hat person and have never owned any sort of Mickey ears. We bought the personalized ones for our boys the first time each of them were at WDW, but I have no idea where they are now.

 

[scbruno]

I'm not a hat person so very rarely wear only on my head unless it is winter time to keep my head and ears warm. My DD has a collection of Mickey ears.

 

[CdnCarrie]

I don't like wearing anything on my head.

Ears. I found the perfect pair my first time out - black sequins with a sparkly red bow.

@ronandannette Those are DD's "go-to" ears, and I think they are my favorites from her collection.
I an NOT a hat girl, no hat for me ever. Even in the winter, I'll wear a hood but not a hat. Regarding ears, I started wearing them at Disney a couple of years ago, on a mother/daughter trip. They are forest green sequined... although the burgundy sequined ears were very tempting. The headband gives me a headache so I don't always wear them, and sometimes I forget to put them on, but I try! There are so many pretty ears that I'd love to buy, but given the price (and limited locations for wearing them!) I usually decide I'd rather spend my money on an adult beverage or two, so I think I'll probably only ever own my green ears!

Nothing. I don't like wearing hats and I've never met a headband that doesn't hurt my head.

 

[Praying Colonel]

Most of the time I don't wear a hat because I don't want to mess with taking it off and putting it back on after high speed attractions. But when I do, it's either a DCL ball cap or a Mickey ball cap I got about 15 years ago at MK.

I don’t like wearing hats either but my hair is so thin I would burn my head if I don’t. So straw hat for me or baseball hat.

I do own Halloween ones I wore for an hour on our cruise last fall , found out our Hawaiian cruise turned into a Halloween one again so have to find them.

Daughter on the other hand has a handful of them and even sometimes wears them at night if she is whiting something Disney.

I wear a hat because I need the extra protection. Got really sun sick on the first day of a Disneyland trip a hat. Now if I am going to be in the sun I wear a hat whether I’m at Disneyland or somewhere else.

 

[design_mom]

I usually wear a wide-brimmed non-disney hat. It's for sun-protection, not fashion. I sunburn really easily even with high SPF sunscreen. It's a pain to deal with on rides/indoors though.

I do own this hat that I bought in the MK one trip when I forgot to bring a hat. It's surprisingly heavy though, so I don't wear it much. I did not bring it on our most recent trip:

 

[AppleDumpling]

Nothing. The only time I wore ears was when I went to Disneyland as a kid in the early 70’s. I still have them somewhere.

 

[Smugpugmug]

I wear ears, though I don't like the ones with the Minnie bows (I'm a woman). I buy ears from the parks in Asia and I get asked all the time when I'm in the parks where I bought them from.

When vacationing at a Disney theme park or cruise, do you wear ears, hats or nothing?
Are you a man or woman?
(multiple choice)



For Me…..I just started wearing ears during my WDW trip November 2021. I only had one pair then, so I wore them on my MK day. This year I had a different pair for each park day - PotC ears on MK day, Snow White ears on EPCOT day, 100th Anniversary ears on HS day and leopard print on AK day. My ears have a purpose when I come home. My Snow White ears are now in my Snow White curio cabinet (she’s my favorite princess), my 100th Anniversary ears are now part of the decor in my Mickey Mouse bathroom, my pirate ears are now with my PotC movie poster signed by Johnny Depp and my poor leopard print ears have no purpose now and are just sitting in a drawer - LOL! I do enjoy wearing the ears - I surprisingly find them comfortable and they don’t give me a headache. Next trip I may wear different bucket hats each day - there’s so many fun Disney ones and they are about the same price as the ears with an added bonus - they are reversible so you get 2 designs for the price of one

Below are my 2023 ears

Looks like this one should be for a "man" as there are two choices for "woman"....

Non Themed Disney Hats - I’m a woman​

 

[E&Cmom]

I have minnie ears and a minnie hat Which I previously bought on trips to Disney. We are going to Disneyland at the end of the month so I will bring them to wear.

Oh no….you’re right and I can’t edit it.
I’ll blame it on it being early morning and not enough coffee yet - LOL!

Below are DD19’s ears this year.
They are solid black and she had the characters sign each ear with a silver Sharpie. Each of the following characters - one on each ear….Mickey, Pluto, Donald and Goofy.

 

[jo-jo]

I wear bandanas , you know the ones that cost about a buck. Wear them most days.

When we go to Disney, I bring about 6. So handy for other uses.

 

[Micca]

I'm a Disney ball cap guy, I even wear them at home sometimes. My hair is getting pretty thin, and I hate having the sun in my eyes, so the cap is a must.

Anecdote related to caps: On a hot day at Disneyland Paris I witnessed a guy run his hat under the cold water in the men's room sink, he wrung it out a bit and put it on. I wouldn't totally rule that out.

 

[CynBeth]

I am a woman who sometimes wears ears but mostly a ball cap or Sun hat.

I had a really pretty tiara. Always wore it on our MK days. It was lost which I’m ok with. Hope some little girl ended up with it and made her day magical. It was $8 on 75% clearance at my local Disney Store years ago. 3 trips and many lovely pics. Just right.
