Disney Park Pack – Holiday Edition is a new monthly Disney ear hat ornament subscription box from the Disney Store.

Every month, you’ll receive a fully-sculptured ear hat ornament with the bottom of the ornament featuring the month’s artist’s signature. It also comes with a satin ribbon for hanging. Subscriptions are available for $29.99 per month.

The box comes in a special blind box presentation package and has limited availability. The top closure looks like the outline of a hat ornament! It’s a super pretty box and fun to open.

The outer box unfolds to reveal the ornament. Disney Mickey Ear Hat Ornaments are crafted from resin and feature iconic elements of the characters and themes they represent. The regular ear hat ornaments are typically $24.99 and can be quite elaborate.

This ornament packaging is great – save them all to store your ornaments neatly when it’s not the holiday season.

The inner box has the satin ribbon through the top.

I got a little squealy over the fact that this was a Light-Up Ornament. It’s something I didn’t expect. Note the artist signature on the tag – it’s not on the ornament this month.

It’s the Hatbox Ghost from the Haunted Mansion! This figure is sort of a cult favorite, having only been installed originally in the original Mansion and fairly quickly removed. Read all about him and his reappearance at the Wikipedia article as well as on the Hatbox Ghost site. And this LA Times article. He has the traditional feather on his top hat and the ears are like the walls of the Haunted Mansion.

The bottom of the ornament holds the batteries (I think they could have squeezed in the signature on the rim).

The satin ribbon attaches to the top of the ornament with a little lobster clasp and you can remove it if you would like to display it on a shelf. Lots of detail, but no character signature on this month (previous months have had one) – probably because Disney doesn’t bring this one out? Has he ever walked around at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party?

And finally, the big reveal – his eyes light up!

What a great effect! This is an awesome, one of a kind ornament! I love that they chose a cult favorite character to begin with and then outdid themselves with the light up eyes. I still wish this subscription came with a little something extra (like a collectible postcard or print) plus explanations and background on the process of creating the ornament, like Funko now does with their subscriptions. But overall I’m more than happy with this month’s design!
