Have you seen the latest Mickey Ears-style character headbands? They're adorable and a bit wild. Originally released in Hong Kong Disneyland, these customizable ears are making their way to Disneyland soon.

There are three steps to create your own unique headband:

1. Select a headband
2. Choose one or more mini plush accessories 
3. Secure the plush to the headband

And there are quite a few plush characters to choose from:

• Mickey Mouse 
• Minnie Mouse
• Donald Duck 
• Daisy Duck
• Chip
• Dale
• Winnie the Pooh
• Tigger
• Stitch
• Buzz Lightyear
• Little Green Alien
• Lots-o’-Huggin’ Bear

The Create Your Own Headbands and separately sold mini plush accessories will soon be available at The The Mad Hatter on Main Street, U.S.A. at Disneyland and Bing Bong’s Sweet Stuff in Pixar Pier at California Adventure. 

Halloween Collectibles From World of Disney

World of Disney in Disney Springs had the most amazing Halloween clothing, decor, and collectibles this year. Here are a few of my favorites. This adorable wreath is made of felt Mickey and Minnie pumpkins and has a dangling spider to make it z little spooky.

There were Mickey jack-o-lantern pillows and candy bowls. A candy covered apron had a pocket that read "If you've got it, Haunt It". Vampire Mickey carried a stack of pumpkins on a plaid bordered kitchen towel and candles sported sweet little ghosts in Mickey ears.

Plaid also appeared on these charming pumpkin Mickey ears as well as the Loungefly mini backpack covered in Disney Halloween emblems. 

This year's Crocs were also plaid and went perfectly with these Halloween treat Jibbitz. 

Finally, the pins were just too fantastic:

• Grogu collecting candy
• A castle made of pumpkins
• Witchy Rocket Raccoon riding Groot like a broomstick 
• A very sparkly Minnie and Mickey in their Halloween finery
• Goofy, Donald, Mickey, and Minnie ghosts
• Chip and Dale in pumpkins 
• Grumpy Donald with a stack of jack-o-lanterns
• Mickey with a stack of jack-o-lanterns
• Kitty Cat Minnie and Figaro
• Scarecrow Goofy
• And pumpkin Mickey and Minnie with plaid ears

Everything was so fun and perfect for Halloween that it was hard to decide which ones to take home. What would you pick for Halloween?

It's nearly spooky season, so it's time for Halloween clothing and collectibles to start creeping their way into Disney Parks. These delightful candy-inspired designs will be available at Disneyland, Disney World, and shopDisney.com. Show your devotion to your favorite park with a Disneyland or Walt Disney World spirit jersey. 

Mickey, Donald, and Goofy sport their Halloween costumes behind a giant Mickey jack-o-lantern on this shirt.

Mickey, Pluto, Donald, and Goofy are a bit retro and fun on this silly shirt. 

Show off your love of candy corn on this reversible sequin shirt.

These candy swirl Minnie ears remind me of the giant lollipops found in the parks.

If a candy corn witch hat is more your style, try these adorable Minnie ears.

This mini backpack from Loungefly is covered in spooky sweet treats.

If you'd prefer something a bit retro, try these pumpkin and candy bedecked masks.

This sweetly spooky Mickey Vampire makes one fantastic plush. And he's featured on a pullover sweater, too.

And finally, who could resist this adorable light-up Mickey ghost? Which of these spooky designs will you choose?

All Aboard Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway!

"Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway", the latest ride at Hollywood Studios and the first in any park to feature Mickey Mouse and Friends, opens today. To celebrate, Disney has created a dazzling array of clothing and collectibles.

First up, a pair of translucent Mickey ears. The headband features Mickey in one ear, Minnie in the other, and engineer Goofy in the train on a spring in the middle. On the side of the headband are lyrics from the ride's theme song: "Nothing Can Stop Us Now!"

Toys from the ride include a train whistle with a train on top driven by Mickey,

a pull back toy that looks like the locomotive and the ride vehicle,

and a set of five stuffed Wishables toys. The soft figures include Chuuby, the locomotive, Mickey & Minnie in a car, engineer Goofy (the one available outside of a blind bag), and Daisy Duck.

Additional items inspired by the locomotive include this hilarious mug featuring engineer Goofy

and this ear hat ornament with Mickey and Minnie.

Several tees, including an Annual Passholder exclusive, feature artwork inspired by the ride and its marquee.

Other Annual Passholder exclusives also feature artwork inspired by the marquee, including this pin and a black Magic Band.

A light blue Magic Band with Mickey, Minnie, & Goofy is also available.

Finally, if you want to commemorate the opening day of this wacky ride, there's a limited edition pin with Mickey & Minnie in the locomotive. All of these collectibles will be available throughout Hollywood Studios. Select items will also be available on shopDisney.com.

Glow With the Show Ears coming to Disney World

Disney

I'm so excited about the latest news from the Disney Parks blog: Glow with the Show Ears are coming to Disney World, starting October 15! This date marks the 15th anniversary of Fantasmic! at Hollywood Studios. The videos of these fun new ears in use at Disneyland are amazing. The lights synchronize with the lights and music of World of Color at California Adventure. I've been hoping they'd make the jump to Disney World, and now they have.

When they first become available on October 15th, they will work with Fantasmic! By October 19th, they will also be a part of the Wishes fireworks and Celebrate the Magic projection show in the Magic Kingdom. At Christmas, they will become a special part of the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights as well as Holiday Wishes: Celebrate the Spirit of the Season. I can't wait to try them out!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
