Mouse Ears

So... where in the World are they still sewing the names onto Mouse Ears by hand?

Last year they were by hand in the hat shop at the beginning of Main Street, and the ears I saw from MGM were done by computer. Anyone know about other places?

I want to get mouse ears for DS5 first thing, but the name has to be done by hand!, and I'm hoping not to go into the MK.

Re: Mouse Ears

I saw ladies personalising things in the Christmas shop at DTD but I dont know if it included Mouse Ears I think it may have been just ornaments.

Re: Mouse Ears

I was there two weeks ago they were sticking with a machine. Not by hand

It's never been done by hand, at least not since I first went back in 1974.

It's always been done at Le Chapeau with a commercial stitching machine. It was hand driven by someone at the shop.

I think some of the newer locations do it with a computer driven machine.

As for personalization of Christmas ornaments, now that we're into the holiday season, you should expect a 24-48 hour turnaround time at MK and a 2-3 day turnaround at DTD. They will direct ship to your house (or also ship to your room if you're there that long)

I knew I never saw them do it by hand! But then again, I've only been going since 1997. However, even though it's a machine, the MK shop (Le Chapeau) still uses the hand driven stitching machine, if I am not mistaken. At least it was last October when we went.

And Christmas Ornament personalization could take even LONGER than 48 hours! I found this out the hard way...I bought my ornament 3 days before we were leaving and they couldn't do it in time. They had to ship it to my house. And then when it got there, it came broken. Luckily they sent out a replacement right away. They're good about that!

Re: Mouse Ears

Well, I didn't mean actually BY HAND! The hand driven thing, of course, the ones that makes a horribly loud pounding noise but gives the names a personal touch. The ears I saw from MGM were precise and all computerized. Not what I'm looking for!

Re: Mouse Ears

They also personalize at the 5 & 10 in MGM. Same place they do the GoH badges.

Re: Mouse Ears

I thought one of the rules was no nicknames?

Whether they enforce it or not is a whole different story....

Re: Mouse Ears

Last year they said No to nicknames.
The only place I remember doing them is Le Chapeau.

Re: Mouse Ears

The no nicknames is still enforced. I know Drew said he had a hard time convincing them that Drew really was his name. They kept insisting it was a nickname. So they are quite picky about what's acceptable for stitching.
