Best Disney Ears for Kids

Going to Disney World with children is no small feat.

From strollers, to packing extra snacks, to the meltdowns every time you pass the carts that sell bubble wands, to the planned nap times — Disney World with little ones can make for an interesting experience. However, for many families, those memories of Disney World while the kids are still tiny are unbeatable, and it makes all the extra planning and hassle WORTH IT. That’s also where we come in! Our team members have become PROS at tackling Disney World with the kiddos, and they’ve learned a few tips and tricks along the way to help the experience go as smoothly as possible. Today’s tip is all about EARS.

Many argue that you just can’t have the full Disney World experience without grabbing photos of the fam in matching Mickey Ears. Often, children LOVE these ears — in theory. In other words, they love the ears until they’ve gotten sensory overload because the headband is giving them a headache, or it’s itching them, or they don’t like the feeling of having something on their head.

If you’re hoping to still snag some family photos in which your little ones have ears, or if your kiddos are insisting on wearing ears like everyone else when you KNOW the traditional ones will bother them, then this post is for you.

If you’re visiting in the cooler months, a great way to put the really little ones in some ears is to grab an ear hat! This Barefoot Dreams Mickey Beanie could be a great option.

It’s super soft and comes in both black and white.

In the months when it’s just too warm for a beanie (most of the year) you can opt for a cap with ears. This Minnie Mouse Ear Baseball Cap could be a great option.

This will allow your kiddo to rock some ears without the squeezing and odd weight distribution that typically makes kids not like to wear the ears.

If you’re doing Disney World with a baby, then this Minnie Ear Headband for Babies could be a great option!

The band is a soft elastic that will be much more comfortable on their heads.

For older kids, you could opt for this Minnie Mouse Sequined Headband.

Not only are the headbands much less over-stimulating, but they’re also easier to keep from falling off on rides.

If your kiddo can handle the typical ear headband, we know that a lot of kids love the Minnie Mouse Donut Ears.

These are colorful enough to go with any outfit, and the ears look like donuts!

Next up, these Captain America Ears might not be a bad choice for your little super hero!

These are soft padded ears that look like Captain America’s shield.

If you’re going for a more neutral look, then this black Mickey Mouse Baseball Cap might not be a bad idea.

This is one option that will go with a super wide variety of outfits, while also shielding your kiddo’s face from the sun.

Last but not least is this Classic Mickey Baseball Cap.

This is another great option that could go with a ton of different outfits!

And there you have it! We hope this offered some insight on the different variety of Mickey and Minnie ears that are best for kids. We’ll continue to keep you updated with more Disney travel tips and more. Make sure to follow along so that you never miss a thing!
