I was just there yesterday, no golden ears yet, and the few CMs I asked didn't know about them.

I haven't seen anything posted about this in a while and since it is now officially MARCH, I was wondering if y'all have heard any news on when the golden mouse ears will start being sold. Any idea when? Any idea where?

Golden mouse ears? As in the regular black mouse ear hats are painted gold? Just like the pink ones for "Minnie Ears" for the girls to wear? Hmm, I vaugely remember hearing about this and I wish I could help you, but I haven't heard any recent news about it.

I saw somewhere that the golden ears will be sold, and it will be starting in May. I am going to assume (and we know what that means) after the 5th. I saw that Leanne Rimes had on some golden ears when they said that she was going to be singing the official 50th anniversary song. The only thing I didn't like is - not only are the ears gold, but so is the whole hat. I would prefer it if they had the hat part black and the ears gold. That way it would match the Silver ears I have from the 25th anniversary. I guess we don't always get what we want though eh? :)

A while back a CM (I believe) posted that they were told the gold ears would begin selling in March.

I'm curious too, since I really want them. But I doubt I'll make it to the park until April. But you never know, I might sneak down for a weekend to get those ears.

All you need is some gold spray paint and a dream.

I saw this in the AP area:

Be appropriately attired for the 50th anniversary celebration - all the way to the tips of your ears. Purchase your pair of Golden Mickey Mouse ears ($10.00, plus tax, for kids at heart; $9.50, plus tax, for kids) at Fantasyland Mad Hatter, Main Street Mad Hatter, Hatmosphere and other select Resort merchandise locations.



No when.

Here's the info I got this morning:

The ears will arrive in May, and should not be sold before the 5th. For as long as the gold ears are sold, the embroidery thread will be white, instead of the current yellow.

The AP section (password or AP number required) at Disneyland.com is talking about them (and they also have a photo)...

Check the Special Offers section

And there is no "coming" date on the page, so you might find them this week...

I would check the Mad Hatter locations, they will be $10 plus tax for adults (the promo copy says "kids at heart"), and $9.50 plus tax for kid sizes.

The AP section also talks about a new line of "Retro Wear" coming out on March 15th.

Thanks, everybody, for the info on these! I'll be looking for them, just in case they're available, on our next trip to the parks!

The folks at the hat shops are pretty definite that they aren't coming this week.

LOTS of new merchandise is being released on 3/15.

I think the golden hats are nice - but I liked the way the other ones looked. For some reason the merch dept. decided to use bright shiny gold plastic instead of the matte gold finish that was created when they spray painted the black hats. And the logo, while cute, is not what I expected. I thought they would have used the 50th castle logo.

Will I buy one - oh yes, especially to go with the 25th of mine my mother dug out of a trunk. But - I liked the matte finish better.

Can't wait for the new stuff on the 15th. That will be our first full day in the parks. Guess I better bring some extra money.

I think the new stuff on the 15th mostly includes pins and the retro merchandise - which is on the AP site. Shirts, stationary, pennants, etc. all with retro artwork from previous maps.

There is also a nifty Buzz Lightyear magic straw.

Of course, the site says bring your coupon from the AP Newsletter in with you for discounts, etc. - and some of these things started to sell on 3/1. What are the odds that the newsletter hits your mailbox on 3/29 when some of the stuff stops selling on 3/31

Someone needs to talk to the mailroom at the DLR.
