Katarina shared the little-known customization options for the ears.
On a TikTok video that’s been viewed over 3 million times, Katarina shared that if you buy the ears during Halloween time (September and October) for $34, you can get them customized. You’ll have to keep the tag and receipt attached to the ears. The customization options are plentiful. You can add your name in the font of your choosing, complimentary artwork, and there are even premium options.
What makes the customization particularly special is that all of the artwork is hand-painted. Katarina’s customization cost was an additional $21, but there are complimentary options.
Instead of having to wait for the artist to finish, Katarina was able to walk around the park until they called her to tell her the ears were ready.
Many Disneyland visitors had no idea this was possible.
As a collector of Mickey Mouse ears, Katarina was happy to add this extra special pair to her collection. This little tip was indeed a legit hack because so many of Katarina’s followers never knew such a thing existed.
“Nooooo wish I knew about this two weeks ago!” one user lamented.
Someone else wrote: “How cute! Maybe next year I’ll make it back. Thanks for sharing.”
“I had no idea this was a thing,” another user admitted. “I never buy the park ears but now I want to.”
Others shared that the same can be done during Christmas at Disney World.
Some other TikTokers were in the know and shared that other Disney park locations offer the same services. They also say the option extends to other holidays, too, including the Christmas season.
Another user shared: “For any Walt Disney World goers, we can do this too!! At ye old Christmas shop at Magic Kingdom.”
Katarina also shared a trick on TikTok for getting the perfect picture in front of the Mickey Mouse pumpkin without waiting in line or having a whole bunch of people in your photo. It honestly seems almost too easy!
