Credit: DisneySeasoned Disney Parks fans have come to expect an annual increase in souvenir, food, and beverage prices at Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort every October. Still, the Disney Store is now following suit. In late September, the official online source for Disney merchandise increased the price of one of the most popular theme park souvenirs: Mickey and Minnie Mouse ear headbands.

Disney Store Raises Prices For Mickey and Minnie Ear Headbands
Before the widespread price increase in late September, most standard ear headbands on the Disney Store website cost $36.99. Now, almost all of the popular theme park accessories inspired by Mickey and Minnie Mouse cost $38.99. This also includes non-mouse-style ears, like the Bluey and Bingo headbands, inspired by the Australian television series that now inspires entertainment offerings at Disneyland Park and Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park.
Not every ear headband costs $38.99, but aside from clearance sales, they’re unlikely to cost less. Some more detailed accessories or collaborations with other brands, like the Minnie Mouse Halloween Ear Headband for Adults by BaubleBar ($44.99), cost more.
Bargain hunters can currently grab a few select sale styles before they run out, including the Maleficent Ear Headband inspired by Sleeping Beauty (1959) for $29.59 and the Zero Headband inspired by Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) for $29.59.
Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort are likely to implement a similar price increase for Mickey and Minnie Mouse ear headbands, as well as other souvenirs, food, and beverages across the theme parks, hotels, and shopping districts sometime this month. For several years, the Disney parks have implemented widespread price increases each October. Disney typically does not announce far in advance when it plans to raise prices for theme park guests.
