A new year brings new Mickey ears! The latest releases from the Disney Parks Designer Collection will be released at Epcot’s International Festival of the Arts. Read on to see the beautiful new designs and how you can meet some of the Disney artists who designed the ears. You may even get them signed!
Lovers of the arts and music are sure to appreciate the International Festival of Arts because it combines art, music, and food all in one! People have a chance to look, experience, and appreciate the arts in so many different forms.
It’s only fitting that we get some new designer mouse ears to go along with the festivities! Let’s take a look.
This musical design from Disney artist, Dave Perillo, features Mickey Mouse enjoying some fabulous tunes. It is not only adorable, but it also carries a tune of its own!
The ear hat has a musical feature, which plays the “Mickey Mouse March.” I can already hear it in my head! The design is now available at Walt Disney World Resort, Disneyland Resort and on shopDisney.com.
