Next week's Limited Time Magic event will be at Magic Kingdom's Chapeau Hat Shoppe, where they will be selling a unique themed Mickey Mouse Ears Hat.

The new hats feature heroes or villains in the form of popular Disney characters, and are reversible.  The heroes and villains hats are actually covers that fit over any normal Mickey Mouse Ears hat.

From the Disney Parks Blog:

I think nearly everyone has a favorite Disney hero and villain. Donald Duck is my favorite hero while Hades from Disney's 'Hercules' my favorite animated villain (not surprisingly, Tron and the Master Control Program represent my favorite Disney film characters). This week as part of our continued Year of the Ear celebration, we are introducing a new hero and villain-themed Cover Your Ears base for "Limited Time Magic." This reversible wrap was designed by long-time Disney Design Group artist Mark Seppala. I spoke with Mark about the creation of this new character-infused item.

"A few years ago my fellow artist Brian Blackmore and I worked on a project that featured heroes and villains," explained Mark. "I pulled character elements from that project for this hat as I thought it would be a neat concept. I'm happy with the final version as the colors and printing really pop! I'm partial to the villain side and included as many characters as I possibly could. There are approximately 34 villains and 61 heroes represented on this base. Now that's a hat with a lot of character [laughs]."
