PHOTOS: NEW Winnie the Pooh Ears Arrive in Disney World

Winnie the Pooh is celebrating a BIG anniversary this year!

That’s a silly, willy, nilly, ol’ bear.

It’s this silly ol’ bear’s 55th birthday, and we’ve seen collectible keys, backpacks, and even HUGE news about a stage adaptation to mark the occasion! Recently, we also showed ya some Pooh ears that had debuted online…and now, we’ve spotted them in the parks.

These ears are a soft ‘n’ fuzzy yellow, with red fabric on the inside just like Pooh’s shirt!

Pooh Ears

On one ear is a buzzing bee

It’s a bee!

…while the side of the headband reads, “Today is my favorite day.”

Pooh Ears

These ears are adorable, aren’t they?! We spotted ’em at The Tea Caddy in EPCOT’s United Kingdom Pavilion, where you can snag them for $29.99. We’ll keep an eye out for them elsewhere, too! These ears are currently out of stock online, so you’ll only be able to grab them on property.

Aren’t they cute?!

Would YOU buy these new ears? Let us know in the comments! And stay tuned to DFB for more Disney news.
