Where to get mickey ears embroidery?

[MomtoEmIs&Ow]

Where is the shop that you can get the mickey ears done with your name?Is it right by snow white ride in MK? If I remember correctly? Is there still anywhere that will do it for free or is it something like $2? Thanks

gee i just got back, if I remember right, wasn't it near the candy shop on main street. I don't know if this is right. It may be in the candy shop, I am not sure, I know I saw a place that does it.

The place where I remember always getting ours done is right after you walk into Magic Kingdom. Right after you walk around the front circle to walk down Main Street there is a store on the right (that faces the circle). I believe it is called "The Mad Hatter or Mad Hattery". I didn't know there was another place. I always go there b/c I wait until I am leaving the park at the end of the day/night to get my ears and monogramming (so that I don't have to carry the ears around and run the risk of them getting ruined before I leave).

They also do it at the Christmas Shop in Downtown Disney. They also personalize ornaments and other stuff!

Ooh - I can tell you all about this....

The place on Main St, is in back of the confectionary. You can enter thorugh the candy shop, but there is also an outside entrance.

If you buy your Mickeys ears there - you can have them personalized for free, provided you are willing to wait in the line. The stitching there ONLY comes in white, only in one basic style of script font, and it is done with a special sewing machine. The workers there are quiet skilled, and it is rather impressive to see them do their thing. They do sell a variety of hat styles there, and the price is not bad.

The other option, as far as I know, is the back of the Christmas shop at DTD. Walk through the shop and the engraving/embroidering part is in the back. There is also a side entrance, but it tis kind of out of the way. At this location there is a charge (I think around five dollars) and it is done with a programmed machine. Depending on when you go - you buy your hat, sign up for a time, pay for your hat (or other item), and come back when it is ready. There are a variety of colors and fonts to choose from. The font styles are thicker (i.e. more thread used) They will also personalize almost any fabric merchandise - shirts, other kinds of hats, towels, etc. On larger items like shirts, they can even make character faces (though these would not fit on Mickey ears). It is much harder to watch them in action at this location, unless your scheduled time is close to when you drop off the item...for us, it was completed before the sceduled time, so we did not get to watch.

There is another place at DTD that does personalized T-shirts, and maybe a few other things. They do airbrushing (and I think iron-transfers).

The place is called The Chapeau (click here sixth store down). It is quite small and tucked off to the side. According to several cast members, this was the only place in the MK to get personalization done. We had to ask for directions from a CM but-- if you stand on the right side of the circle facing Main Street and the Castle, the shop is down a little sidestreet and I think connects with a DVC spot. The shop kind of faces Tony's Townsquare Resturant.

However, when we were there in July, embroidery was NOT free. I believe it was $2.00. The thread was gold, although I did see some people with white embroidery on their Mickey Ears. Maybe the shop ran out of one particular color?

The store sells all kinds of hats and the prices are the same as every other store in the MK. It is fun to watch the process; the workers are very skilled and they make it look so easy!

We went last September and it was FREE with the purchase of the ears and they used gold thread (I am looking at the ears now) maybe that was for the celebration last year, a special??? The girl did such a good job, I tried to tip her but she looked at me like I was mental and said, "I can't accept tips!"

There is no longer any free embroidery available. It is $2 per hat at LeChapeau on Main Street in MK. They also do it at Sir Mickey's in Fantasyland.

If you want the fancier embroidery, it is available at Days of Christmas at DTD and Celebrity 5 & 10 at MGM for $7.49 with tax per hat.

We went in October 2005 & they were charging $2 per hat then. We bought the gold ears, and they were using white thread on those (gold thread on the black ears).

I just also wanted to know if you need to by the hat from that store to get it done or can you buy it somewhere else and pay money for them to do it?

They don't care where you bought the hat. They will embroidery if you pay them.
