Paradise has landed in Southern California — and it's all due to a pair of plumeria-covered ears.
When Disneyland's Tropical Hideaway [1] opens on Friday, Dec. 21, it'll serve bao buns, Dole Whip swirls, and other treats, but we're most excited (and shocked!) by the addition of these sweet Minnie ears [2].
This sparkly surprise comes straight from Aulani [3] — Disney's resort in Kapolei, HI — and everything about them is pure beach-y bliss. The black sequin headband is affixed with two plumeria flowers and even boasts an Aulani tag, making Disneyland's Tropical Hideaway kinda like a one-way ticket to the Hawaiian beach resort. (There's even a little Mickey gem hidden within the center of each flower, for a bit of mouse magic!)
As thrilled as we are about a new pair of Minnie ears hitting the park [4], we can't help but think: could this mean the hotel's exclusive ShellieMay merchandise [5] may land at the park in the future? Only time will tell, but we're already dreaming of what special bags, headbands, and goodies [6] might await.
You can find this fantastic souvenir on a rack near the checkout counter, but we have a feeling this sparkly shocker, which costs $30, won't last. Between the delicious grub and new Dole Whip (!), they're bound to be a popular find. Pop on a pair, pose for a picture in front of Rosita with a frosty pineapple float, and bask in that glorious beach vacation glow, even if you're only in Adventureland.

See that hidden Mickey within the flower?!
They're the ideal mix of attention-grabbing and floral perfection.
