The full collection of Illuminations: Reflections of Earth Farewell merchandise was released earlier in June, featuring a MagicBand, a cute light-up tumbler, some tees, and ornaments, but it seemed there was another piece of light-up merchandise missing from the collection… arguably the best piece from the collection:
IllumiNations – Reflections of Earth Farewell Light-Up Mouse Ear Headband – $30.00
A light-up Farewell Minnie ear headband.
We spotted them earlier today at MouseGear, and they’re a real sight to behold.
The ears feature a satin bow with a similar fireworks print that was used in the rest of the collection, with plastic sculpted ears made to look like the Earth Globe. One ear says “Farewell 2019” and the other says “Epcot World Showcase”. The headband itself is lined with black satin on the outside and black velvet on the inside, to keep things comfortable.
Each Earth Globe ear lights up separately, probably a result of rushed development and production.
Will you be heading over to MouseGear for these ears? These are a definite need.
Check out the video below for a closer look at the ears and how they work:
The merchandise may be the only official effort regarding the farewell of the legendary show that Disney will be offering, but be sure to join WDWNT.com for “Reflections of Forever”, an event including a special dessert party at the final performance, appearances by the creative forces who made Reflections of Earth, and more. VIP packages are available now at this link.
So the word “Illuminations” doesn’t appear anywhere on it?! As is, it makes it sound like you are bidding “farewell” to “Epcot World Showcase”. They’ve really botched the Illumination Farewell merchandise. The other march is plastered with huge Mickey and Figment characters when this is the ONE show in Disney World that isn’t about Disney characters–and people like it for the very reason that it is unique.
I love the show too much not to buy the stuff though :( you’re absolutely right, Bill. The tumbler is the best piece in the collection and even then…
If the word “Illuminations” was actually included, I would more than likely splurge to get the ears. I’m trying to use that as my excuse to not purchase. Still looks nice, though. *welp*
