To 'Ear or not to Ear'?

[Stinky_Pete]

I have four versions of Goofy ears: The traditional with the green hat, two Goofy Santas (one lights up) and a Goofy pirate. I'll be 50 this year, and I still wear them. Usually mainly to the MK though.

I have to admit I like the attention I get from the CMs and some kids think it's interesting to see a grown man in Goofy ears.

I have a pair of headband Minnie ears, as well as a pair of the traditional ears that a friend of mine decorated to be Hufflepuff (from Harry Potter) colors! I wore both throughout my last trip.

Who wears ears while on their trip? DH and I are debating. He thinks the ears are just for kids. I say anything goes at Disney!! Thoughts?

I recommend looking at him and saying, "You're a sad, strange little man." Ears are awesome!

Well, you know what they say: "To 'Ear is human..."

I wear a tiara at the World and Minnie ears (headband style) at the Land although either might get swapped out for a floppy hat if the UV levels are particularly high. Hat style ears look silly on me and I find them stiflingly hot. DH will have nothing to do with ears or whimsical headgear of any sort.

If you're a Lilly Pulitzer fanatic like me, check out Sail Bows on Etsy. I haven't ordered from them yet, so I can't vouch for quality, but Minnie headband ears in Lilly fabric and coordinating bows, done! I, like your husband though, am debating if I will still be cool, haha!

If I wear anything on my head it is for sun protection. Since ears don't provide any, I don't wear them.

I can't even relate to feeling silly about it!

But seriously, most people will be sporting some sort of silly head gear, adults included. You will not be the weird grown up in Mickey ears, I promise. Embrace your inner child, you won't regret it

I wear ears the whole trip when I'm there. I buy the hat type and not the headband type. I like the hat type that has a the neck strap in it because I wrap the neck strap into my pony tail to keep the hat on my head. One of my favorite parts of the trip is on the first day picking out my perfect ears that I will wear for the trip. Plus, seeing my collection of ears reminds me of our the fantastic trips I have had at WDW.

I wore ears on my most recent trip and plan to do so in the future. However, as you can see from my avatar, I have also been known to rock a fanny pack.

There are so many many different ears here! You will take a day to figure out which ones to buy, and while you are doing that, you will notice so many people wearing them - it makes me happy!

I hear there are a pair of Mary Poppins Ears in Epcot - I have to have!

Uh oh, looks like I'll be adding to my collection again this year LOL!!

I wear them. Interesting note about guests at DL, most all not only wear ears many make their own custom ears. I saw some pretty awesome ones

I would love to wear Ears and I did wear some when we won some in 2008 for the Year of a Million Dreams. (And we got lots of compliments from CMs on those.) However, I like to wear a sunhat to the parks, so I never do now. I might try to find a way to attach them to my sunhat like a PP mentioned.

I really like the ones that I have seen at the Disney Store that are little Minnie Ears that clip on with barrettes.

 

[SailorJen]

I wear it all the time, to Disneyland, or just lunch at downtown Disney.

Ears are for everyone. On my parents first trip to Disney World together, they spotted a large group of Hell's Angels bikers all decked out in leather vests and each one of them had Mickey Ears on lol. My husband and I always wear ears. It has become a tradition for us to buy new ears every trip.

If he thinks ears are only worn by kids, he'll get a big surprise when he gets there!

 

[BarbieGal457]

I always wear ears and I just turned 27! I get a new pair every trip. I know more adults who wear them than not, and lots have custom ones now too!

Oh, we've been before, many times. Just never paid attention to the ear situation!! Lol!

I put the headband type on over my sun hat. Helps hold the had on too
