It was just yesterday morning when Imagineer Joe Rohde’s contribution to the Disney Parks Designer Collection of Ear Hats and Headbands was unveiled. Joe Rohde, who was the driving creative force behind Disney’s Animal Kingdom at Walt Disney World, took to his Instagram account to promote the item’s release this morning. Although, some difficulties ensued…

Similar to the release of Her Universe’s Ear Headband (also part of the Designer Collection) last week, the social media posts did not mention what time the ears would be listed on shopDisney. And when Joe Rohde’s Ear Hat did go up on the site at 7am Pacific, they sold out instantly.
Disney has dropped the ball twice in a row now by not giving a firm release time when revealing these items. Playing the guessing game of when a product goes live as a customer is never fun, especially when you see your coveted prize listed on eBay for exponentially more than the original cost of $78 just a few minutes later.
What’s Next for the Disney Parks Designer Collection?
Having already seen designs from Betsey Johnson, Kevin Rafferty, John Coulter, Her Universe, and now, Joe Rohde, we are halfway through the scheduled releases for this collection. Here is what is left:
- Cupcakes and Cashmere – Spring 2020
- Lily Aldridge – Summer 2020
- Bret Iwan – Summer 2020
- Karlie Kloss – Summer 2020
- Vera Wang – Fall 2020
