Mouse Ears get Makeover with Fashionable
Accessories
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Trendsetters and
fashion gurus get ready to strut your stuff with a
new line of Mickey Mouse ears all dressed up for the
summer.
The trendy new Mouse ears come in a variety of
vibrant colors and styles to suit the pirate or
princess in your family. Gal versions don pink
veils, jeweled princess crowns, or wild cheetah
prints. For the boys, pirate scarves and hoop
earrings adorn the headgear, plus Stitch-themed
offerings and more. There's also gold-sequined,
patriotic-themed, and a bride and groom version.
While traditional black Mouse ears remain popular
-- with millions sold each year -- it was time to
have some fun and accessorize, said Dara Trujillo,
Walt Disney World manager of merchandise franchise
and synergy.
"Guests responded so well to the special golden
Mickey Mouse ears created for the 'Happiest
Celebration on Earth' last year," said Trujillo. "We
wanted to build off that success with a new
generation of ears that reflect what's hot in the
marketplace."
We will always go after the trends," Trujillo
said.
The new Mouse ears are available in limited
quantities at select locations throughout Disneyland
and Walt Disney World Resort. Prices are from $8.
