We have a complete set of the black old-school ears hats for our entire family with our names embroidered on the backs with the old machines (not the new machine embroidery that's all computerized and uniform). Even our toy schnauzer has her own. Here's a couple pics when we got them for her. She was still a puppy.
We also have a set of the Dream Ears from the YoaMD for the 4 of us. We took them to The Chapeau and had them embroidered with our names also. These were also done with the old machines. We were not charged for the embroidery on the Dream Ears. The CM said they were continuing the magic with them. The Dream Ears are probably one of my most treasured souvenirs. I carried them home with me on the plane never letting them out of my sight.
Both sets of ears are really important to me. We've never taken them back to wear again because I'm too nervous something will happen to them. The old embroidery was so much better than the new computerized stuff. I know it's something I can't replace no matter how much cash I throw on the table. These can't be picked up on eBay or anything. So for that reason I most likely will never dare take them back to wear again.
I love Mickey ear hats! They're the ultimate Disney thing to have to me. Where else can you get them? Where else can a grown person walk around wearing a felt beanie with big plastic ears attached to it & not look out of place???
