One of our favorite Disney World souvenirs just showed up someplace NEW.
Headwear has long been an essential part of Disney theme parks. From the earliest Mickey Ears to the litany of detailed ear and hat options that are available today. Recently, we stumbled across one of Disney’s most CREATIVE headwear options at a new spot.
On our most recent trip to Animal Kingdom, we discovered that Disney’s popular Create Your Own Headband option — which had previously been available at Disney Springs among other locations — had come to the Riverside Depot store at Animal Kingdom.
To create your own headband, you’ll first select a headband base, then pick from a litany of small character plushes to attach to it. Each headband can hold a total of four characters.
Options available at the Animal Kingdom location include Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Chip & Dale, Willie the Pooh, Tigger, Stitch, Lotso, Buzz Lightyear, and a Little Green Man alien.
In addition, there are seasonally appropriate options including Jack Skellington, Sally, and Zero from Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas.
We really dig these headbands, as they offer a way to creatively combine characters from different Disney and Pixar universes into one piece of merchandise.
Disney’s Create Your Own Headband option has expanded into Animal, as this merchandise option continues to grow in popularity. Stay tuned to DFB for further updates on Disney’s souvenir offerings.
