This floral silhouette of a head and ears at Epcot is recognized across the world. It is symbolic of both Mickey Mouse and Disney. The shape became popular starting in 1955 when the Mickey Mouse Club first aired. Jimmie Dodd, the show’s host, and all of the Mouseketeers wore the black felt Mickey Mouse hat. Today, Disney annually sells 2.5 million Mouse Ears at the starting price of $17. Now that is a profitable icon!
