The 2026 light-up ear headband has arrived at Walt Disney World, despite rumors that it was released early and removed from shelves. We found the pair at one of the displays just outside of Riverside Depot in Animal Kingdom.
2026 Glow Ear Headband – $29.99

The ear headband is made of hard plastic and the headband has small teeth to help it stay securely in hair. “20” is on the left ear with Minnie emerging from the zero. “26” is on the right with Mickey posing through the six.


The actual ears are teal with white “bursts” on them. Fireworks surround the graphics. In lieu of a bow, there’s a battery pack between the two ears. marked with Disney Parks. Light illuminates each ear from the base, illuminating the plastic ears.
Several pieces from the Disney Parks Dated 2026 Collection are also available online at Disney Store. The collection features ornaments, a MagicBand+, and more.
