SHOP: New Limited Edition Joe Rohde Adventurer Mickey Ear Hat Soaring Into shopDisney

Are you ready to chart the course for adventure? The latest release in the Disney Parks Designer Collection is set to release tomorrow on shopDisney, and they’re designed by none other than Disney Imagineer, Joe Rohde himself!

The ears are made to look like an aviator’s hat, with a faded deep brown faux leather exterior and a plush white lining. The steampunk-style goggles match perfectly with the compass-printed Mickey ears. Best of all, if you look at the set of coordinate markings, one will lead you to Mount Everest, and the other will take you to Disney’s Animal Kingdom!

You could say the ears have a bit of a flair to them… Adventurers Club flair, that is. Kungaloosh! These are the third set of ears in the Disney Parks Designer Collection series to be designed by a member of Walt Disney Imagineering. First, you had The Haunted Mansion ears by Kim Irvine, followed by the Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway ear hat by Kevin Rafferty, and now Joe Rohde has a design of his own.

No pricing or further release details are available, but these should go live on shopDisney around 7:00 AM (Pacific) / 10:00 AM (Eastern) per prior releases. Do keep in mind that as with any Limited Edition release, the shopDisney website has been prone to some serious glitching, so try to be logged in and ready as soon as the release window opens for the best chance at getting these.

About the Author: DBTN - FOUNDER, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF OF DBTN

My enthusiasm for all things Disney all started when my parents took our family to WDW for a vacation. My first trip was at age 13. Since that first time, I have made a trip to WDW almost every year from age 13. As far as I knew there was only one place to vacation! My fascination with WDW began on that first trip. I wanted to know how things at WDW operated and what made it so magical. I wanted to know details like how many people worked there and the length of the monorail track. It is that fascination that fueled my interest in WDW. Each year that my family vacationed at WDW, I learned more about WDW as they built more parks and added more attractions. I am not the average fan; I want to know all the details and I love researching the facts of WDW. I research facts through the Internet, books and DVDs. To me, the best part is to conduct research trip at WDW. After college, my father was transferred to Orlando and I moved with my parents. Seeking employment, I applied for a job at WDW. I passed the first rounds of interviews and was proud to join the Disney family as a security cast member! The job was great. It included Disney-specific training and security training before assuming four duties: driving a security vehicle, standing a post, working in a resort or walking a park or other area. Sometimes I even had special duties like working the Epcot Christmas Processional. I would escort the celebrity guests from backstage to onstage. Interestingly, every cast member is given a WDW fact book monthly to aid in answering guest questions. The pocket book contained great Disney facts that added more fuel for my thirst of Disney facts. Well, all-good things must come to end so we moved back to NJ. In the summer of 2010 I moved back to Florida I am now living in Orlando less then 15 minutes from WDW and living the dream and have fun along the way.
