These are a FANTASMIC alternative to those Mickey or Minnie ear hats that you find at the Disney parks.    I know that my kids wear the Mickey and Minnie hats for all of 10 minutes because they get all hot and itchy and they don't like they elastic strap under the chin.  Then I'm stuck dragging the hats around the park.  Head2toedesigns artist, Nicole, makes her clip-on Mickey ears on no-slip grip alligator clips to provide a secure hold on your little Mickey or Minnie. 

Head2toedesigns Clip-On Minnie Ears are available with or without sequins too. Perfect for your princess that loves a little bling or for your plain Jane princess. 

Nicole, even has designed Minnie ears on soft, crocheted headbands for the tiniest of Mickey and Minnie lovers.

"My Mom Throws Away My Underwear So We Can Buy More Toys!"

"My mom throws away my underwear so we can buy more toys!"  

Yes.  Yes.  These words have been exclaimed excitedly to more than one Disney Cast Member by my son.  This declaration usually draws some attention and I embarrassingly have to explain myself.  This is one of my great tips that I use in packing.  Before a trip, I save up older underwear, pajamas, and socks.  As we wear them during our trip, we toss them out and we have more room in our suitcases for souvenirs and toys!  Our kids end up wearing pajamas that are usually a size too small for them and they look like little sausages, but we have room for a stuffed animal or two and we're not paying for another suitcase on the flight home!   Plus, the Cast Members that we have explained this to have all thought it was a great idea!

Who knows, maybe it will be one of those funny Disney memories our kids will look back on and remember.  "Remember how mom would pack all of our older socks, underwear, and pajamas and then throw them away so we could bring home more toys?!?!".

Just a tip that works!   ;)

Upcoming Posts for Obsession Disney

Do you a Disney question?  Leave me a comment and I'll do my best to answer your question.

Disney Premier Visa = More Disney Rewards!

Disney recently launched the NEW Disney Premier Visa.  For the $49 annual fee, Disney's Premier Visa Cardmembers earn 2% in Disney Rewards on purchases using their Disney Premier Visa at grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants, and at most Disney locations at the Walt Disney World Resort, Disneyland Resort, Disney Cruise Line, and the Disney Stores.  Disney Premier Visa cardholders earn 1% on all other purchases.  There is NO LIMIT to how many reward dollars you can earn or redeem with the Disney Premier Visa.

For more information or to apply online go to:  www.getdisneycreditcard.com  

There are 8 new designs for the Disney Premier Visa cards too.  They are adorable and DOUBLE-SIDED!   Check 'em out!  My husband chose the Cars design in the bottom right.  I went with the Sorcerer Mickey card at the top left.   We applied for our upgrade about 10 days ago and we haven't gotten our cards yet, but I'm guessing that there is a big demand for this great new upgrade.

I'm sure that the Disney Rewards will pile up much quicker for us and that means a trip to Disney World will only be that much more affordable for our family!  LOVE IT!
