Whether you’re at one of the Disney theme parks or in your living room, don those iconic ears to get into the celebratory spirit. Over the years, we’ve seen some pretty awesome Mickey ears. Grab your favorite pair and wear them with pride.
If you don’t have a pair of ears, Mickey Mouse’s birthday is the perfect day to make your first pair! All you need is a headband, construction paper, and tape to build your first pair of mouse ears. However, you can use what you have around your house and be as creative as possible to make them feel like “you.”
Find a Hidden Mickey

Keep your eyes peeled throughout the day for hidden Mickeys. These are common throughout the Disney parks. They’re places where Disney Imagineers and Cast Members have hidden Mickey Mouse’s likeness in attractions, resort designs, and even just in the architecture throughout the theme parks.
However, if you’ve got Mickey on the brain, you’re bound to find three circles that remind you of the famous mouse, even if you’re not at a Disney Resort.
