Packing Ears

[disney castle days]

How do you pack your Mickey Ears? I’m a little hesitant to put them in our checked luggage, because I don’t want them to break.

Mine are the flat headband kind and I just layer them in my clothes. They always arrive unharmed! We’ve also packed my daughter’s hat type pirate and princess ears that way and just ‘collapsed’ the hat part if that makes sense. They also arrived just fine that way.

Haha. That‘s what we normally do, but wearing 3+ pairs of ears at one time might look a little crazy

Thanks for the advice! We might try this!

Only to non-DISers.

This is what we do too.

I wear the headbands and DH wears the hats. I just fold the hats in half (the way they are in the store when you buy them) and put both those and the head bands into their own packing cube in the luggage. Never had any problems.

I can layer about 3 pairs of wire and regular ears in one thin, small rectangular pizza-style clothing box (the kind a custom pair of ears usually gets sent in). Depending on the size of the trip, I will take either one or two of these boxes, either in my checked bag, or in my carry-on tote. The boxes add very little weight & they protect the ears.

Another idea I heard about is to mail them ahead to your resort.

I pack mine in a small box that they were shipped in. Each pair of ears are placed in a plastic zip lock bag in the box as well.

I fold the hat part in half (into itself from back to front) then place flat between soft layers of clothing. Never had any problems either.

That case only holds 4 pairs. Wouldn't work for me, I took 10 pair last trip for me alone. My obsession isn't shoes anymore, it's MM ears.

I have an ear related question...our last trip my girls got those light up ears that blink to the music of the night time shows...if I bring them back with me this coming Nov/Dec will they still work? Dumb question but I’m curious, thanks

I wrapped each pair in bubble wrap and put them on top of my clothes in my suitcase. They survived!

I usually keep ours in my carry on bag, that way I can keep an eye on them. And bonus, we can pull them out as soon as we land and wear them through the Orlando Airport! I have been lucky to purchase a few pairs of ears at our local Disney Store that's an outlet. They get all types of Park Exclusive items. Saves me a little $$ by having them prior to our trip.

I packed my handmade ears in our carry ons, between layers of clothes on the way there, and in our checked back again between layers of clothes for our return trip. There was no damage and between myself and my daughter we had 8 sets of ears.

Yes they'll still work. They also work in both US parks interchangeably.

I love this! Thanks for the link. They need to make a larger capacity bag for those of us with more than 4 pairs of ears but what a great find!

We also just layer them in our clothes!
