‘Glow With the Show’ Ears Coming to Walt Disney World Resort This Fall

[Californian Elitist]

Did they do a giveaway at DL?

Pretty much. They have away hundreds of ears to APs.

HOT MAN!!!!! I just said I would be reducing my trips to WDW due to the MM+ crap but this has just sold me. I have long awaited for this - yes I am going just for the mickey ears the glow during the shows. I am soooo there!!!

Did they do a giveaway at DL?

Yes, at a special event.. when they were trying to seed the concept with the APs.

I think it could be awesome in the F! theatre.. and god knows Disney sets enough of the plastic light toys in DHS. I just can't stomach the price. We almost bought them at DLR on our last trip.. but common sense got to me and we passed.

Can you use the same pair of ears to every park and does it have a GPS installed to track which park are you in? It'd be great if you're staying at one of monorail resorts or the Boardwalk and your ears still worked.

You can always turn the ears on and they glow with a random pattern of colors. They also automatically sense when you are near a participating show and begin to glow in sync with the show. I wore a pair to WDW last year and everyone was asking where I bought them and of course I had to say 'They're only at Disneyland'. I felt special.

These look awesome! Seriously, I would eat the $25 per hat price in a heartbeat if we were there next month instead of next week, and I'm a HUGE miser. That being said, I can't help but think of the mind control box from Batman Forever when I see these.

awesome!

I saw Coldplay at Mohegan Sun a while back, they had the same technology in these wrist bands the audience was wearing during the show. It really added to the music and the overall vibe of the show.
It really looked amazing......
however they gave the wrist bands away and we were in the nosebleed seats.

If the getting everyone to wear them thing doesn't work in Florida, they should have separate areas for those who are wearing the ears, like they have in California.

^ I don't think they do that anymore, do they?

Anyway here is a preview of what the glow ears look like during Fantasmic:

They will work here as there are more daily visitors who will buy each day. DLR has more annual daily visitors who leave their hats at home.

How do you "pretty much" have a free giveaway? Was it free for everyone who paid $25

I believe they do. I haven't heard of them getting rid of it... You could be right.

I said pretty much because I was thinking about how they were only limited to APs and not everyone. I should have used different words haha.

 

[WDWBryan]

I'll take one if it's a giveaway otherwise I'm not paying for one.

 

[mattdenine]

I'll be picking up a pair during the my next visit, but I'm a sucker for this kind of stuff.

Now, since F! is first would they do a media event there for them? will everyone receive a hat for the show? Would be cool if i could be there to see it for myself

In DL, I think they did a AP holders exclusive showing after hours where they all received free hats. I think it could be possible to do that at WDW even though the number of passholders is smaller than at DLR.

The video from WOC looks awesome. I was pumped when I saw it. Just one thing was nagging at me that I couldn't put my finger on.

It just hit me: I'm paying $25 for something that really doesn't benefit me. Because it's lighting up on top of my head, I don't get anything out of it during the show. Don't get me wrong, it looks great, but it's probably not for me.
