Walt Disney World continues to receive more fall and Halloween merchandise as the season draws nearer, and the latest additions are two ear headbands themed to “Nightmare Before Christmas.”
We found both of the new ear headbands at Gateway Gifts in EPCOT.
Pumpkin King Minnie Ear Headband – $34.99
The first headband is a brightly-colored tribute to the “Pumpkin King.” The headband is mostly orange and black, though it has details in many other colors.
Both ears are covered in faux leather decorated with jack-o’-lanterns in front of a creepy forest. The rounded edge of the ear is decorated with a striped attic snake.
In the center of the ears is a black bow covered completely in sequins. A charm in the middle says “Pumpkin King” with an image of Jack’s face. The text is angled to look like the rough shape of a bat.
The back of the ears is mostly plain black, but they do still have the multicolored snakes around the outer edges.
One snake has a green and pink color, but the opposite attic snake is purple and green. The colors on the back match the front.
Keeping with the striped motif, the headband itself is orange and gray. The interior is lined with non-slip fabric in black.
We previously saw this same headband arrive first at Disneyland Resort, where it was part of a much larger Pumpkin King merchandise collection. It is possible these ears were released early, or the rest of the collection could be coming to Walt Disney World sometime soon.
Jack Skellington Loungefly Ear Headband – $44.99
The other new Minnie ear headband is more expensive because it is made by Loungefly. This one is less colorful, with only shades of silver and black.
The bow in the middle of the ears is made of faux leather, which has a diamond-pattern studded with a few silver cones toward the center.
The actual ears are also black, but they are patterned with Jack Skellington’s many facial expressions. Jack is colored silver, and the material has a reflective effect.
The sides of the band are covered in the same black faux leather, with the usual Disney & Loungefly metal tag sewn on one side.
Also released at Disneyland Park was a new collection of Haunted Mansion items, which we could also see arriving at Walt Disney World in the near future.
