My Favorite Mouse Ears | How I Store & Travel with Them
They say it all started with a mouse, but for me… it all started with some mouse ears! Looking back at some of my early childhood photos, it’s no surprise that I grew up to become a Disney loving mom with a full mouse ear collection!

These are not only my current favorites, but some of my favorite tips for transporting them to Disney World and storing them when not in use!
My First Pair of Mouse Ears
Starting at the very beginning, when I had just learned to walk, I got my very first pair of mouse ears! This photo is the perfect reminder of how my love for Disney started early. Even back then, I was clearly destined to be a Mom with Mouse Ears!
From that first pair, my collection has grown over the years into something I love to display, wear, and carefully pack for every Disney trip.
They are a fun part of my outfits and I enjoy using them for both an outfit accent and office decor!
My Favorite Mouse Ears from the Disney Parks
My ears from the Disney Parks are extra special because they remind me of specific trips and magical memories. I especially love my Animal Kingdom ears, they have such a fun, earthy vibe that fits the park perfectly.

Animal Print Ears – Disney Parks
My Cinderella ears are another favorite. They feel so regal and sparkly, and they’re perfect for Magic Kingdom days.

And of course, I had to include the iconic rose gold ears.Â

They’re a must have in any Disney ear collection, and I love how they go with almost any outfit.
Favorite Mouse Ears from Etsy
Outside of the theme parks, I’ve found some incredible ears on Etsy! I love supporting small shops, especially when they make such creative and unique pieces. The 3D printed ears I get from Magic Alley Shop are seriously impressive.

They come in a number of styles and I frequently get stopped in the parks asking where they are from when I’m wearing them!

They’re so detailed and lightweight and perfect for photos! They add something different to your look.

I also have a few pairs made with Lilly Pulitzer fabric from a shop called FlipStitchRepeatCo, and they are so vibrant and fun. (Use code ‘MOMWEARS24’ to get 10% off at FlipStitchRepeat.)
These are usually the first ones I reach for during summer park days!
Budget Friendly Mouse Ears from Amazon
Since I love to change up my outfits a LOT when I’m at Disney World, I also have some very budget friendly ears as well! Believe it or not, some of my go-to ears have actually come from Amazon!

I’ve found some really cute character-inspired ears there, which are perfect when I want to match a specific movie theme.

The sequin ears are another great find! They’re affordable, sparkly, light weight, and come in a ton of colors. If you’re looking to build your collection without spending a fortune, Amazon has some solid options worth checking out.
How I Store My Mouse Ear Collection
When it comes to storing all of these magical accessories, I like to keep things both practical and pretty. My mouse ears are displayed on gorgeous rose gold wooden stands that I found on Etsy, and they’ve been a total game changer.

Not only do they keep my collection organized, but they also double as fun decor in my office. I love being able to see all of my ears at a glance. It makes picking the perfect pair for a Disney day feel like part of the fun.

And they add just the right amount of sparkle to my office space!
How I Travel with Mouse Ears
When we’re heading out on a Disney trip, I always get questions about how I travel with my ears without crushing them. I’ve found the perfect solution: an expandable packing cube that turns into a hanging closet organizer.

Packing Cube Closet Organizer Combo
It’s a little more structured than a regular packing cube, which gives the ears a bit more protection in my suitcase.

And once I arrive, I can hang it right up in the hotel room and keep all my ears organized and ready to wear. It’s one of my favorite packing hacks!
