Walt Disney World Pirate Princess Mickey Mouse Ears Ear Hat Youth 2007

I don't know when this first introduced or discontinued, but I do know that we acquired this during a Fall 2007 trip to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla.  My daughter wore this - we purchased it after riding on the Pirates of Caribbean ride.

We have the standard Youth Sized Mickey Mouse ear cap with two plastic black ears.
This one has been dressed up to celebrate the thrilling Pirates of the Caribbean rides at Disney parks, but also the very popular series of movies starting Johnny Depp. 

A very fun take on the famous Mickey Mouse ear caps/hat.

From the Disney web site:


A Pirate’s Life for You

Board a weathered barge for a treacherous voyage to the 17th century, when rowdy rogues and ruthless rapscallions ransacked Caribbean seaport towns. Sing along as pirates serenade you with their anthem, “Yo Ho, Yo Ho (A Pirate’s Life for Me).”

Sail past haunted Dead Man’s Cove. Navigate cannon fire between a Caribbean fort and a striking 12-gun galleon. Behold boisterous buccaneers drunk on the spoils of plunderin’ as flames engulf a seaside town.

Be sure to keep a spry eye out for Captain Jack Sparrow, from The Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Ye beware, mateys: Dead men tell no tales!


Pirates of the Caribbean is a Disney media franchise encompassing numerous theme park rides, a series of films, and spin-off novels, as well as a number of related video games and other media publications. The franchise originated with the theme park ride of the same name, which opened at Disneyland in 1967 and was one of the last Disneyland rides overseen by Walt Disney. Disney based the ride on pirate legends, folklore and novels, such as those by Italian writer Emilio Salgari. The version at Walt Disney World opened in 1976.

 

Pirates of the Caribbean became a media franchise in the 2000s with the release of The Curse of the Black Pearl in 2003; it was followed by four sequels. The films created by Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio have grossed over $4.5 billion worldwide by 2019, putting the film franchise 14th in the list of all-time highest-grossing franchises and film series. The rides can be found at five Disney theme park resorts.

 

Pirates of the Caribbean is a dark ride at Disneyland, Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom, Tokyo Disneyland, and Disneyland Park at Disneyland Paris. Opening on March 18, 1967, the Disneyland version of Pirates of the Caribbean was the last ride that Walt Disney himself participated in designing, debuting three months after his death.  The ride gave rise to the song "Yo Ho (A Pirate's Life for Me)" written by George Bruns and Xavier Atencio, and performed on the ride's recording by The Mellomen.
