1. Disney ears have been around since the beginning!

2. In 2024, it's estimated that Disney released 74 different pairs of ears! A collector's dream? Or Nightmare?² 

3. Mouse ears account for $ 2.5 to $ 3 million a year of Disney sales.

4. During the 50^th anniversary of Walt Disney World, a pair of ears (and a hat!) was released for almost $1,000! Can you believe it!?

   
   

   It takes a lot for me to commit to ears... I'm very picky! However, I do tend to LOVE collecting the Epcot country ears... and I have my eyes on the Norway and England ears for my next trip!
