Over the past few weeks, we’ve marveled at all the artistic creations and fun merchandise at the Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Arts. Now that it’s winding down for the year, it appears Disney has saved the best for last!
A true work of art, the Designer Mickey Ear Hat is a glorious homage to Disney’s number one celeb!
Available for a limited time only, this gorgeous hat designed by artist Alex Maher is much more than mere headgear — this is a piece of mousy merch that tells a story!
Against its white background, which acts as a veritable blank canvas, the hat features multiple illustrations of Mickey Mouse animation through the years, from the old-school to the new.
And with so many Mickeys on the hat, it’s got more personality than the Seven Dwarfs combined!
While most of the hat is black-and-white, it gets pops of bright color with the name “Mickey Mouse” spelled out in blue, red, purple, pink, and yellow, along with a vibrant red-and-yellow “Mickey Mouse” on one of the ears!
On the other side is a vintage sketchpad Mickey Mouse, while the other ear has part of a Walt Disney quote: “…that it was all started by a mouse.” It even includes Walt’s signature!
Is it weird to get emotional over a hat?! Because that’s totally what is happening.
You can snag this limited-time hat at EPCOT’s World Showplace Market! Suffice to say it’s an absolute MUST-HAVE for fans of classic Disney animation!
Match your hat with a new Mickey Mouse face mask, now available online!
