Here's another incredible surprise I received for Christmas— the official Disney Parks MU baseball cap!! This item has been sold out for quite a while and, as of right now, there is just one on eBay selling for $100. I don't know how much my parents spent but I hope it wasn't that much! Pretty crazy, I had no idea it ended up getting that rare.

| Me Christmas morning (2013) just having opened my MU hat! |
There have have been [essentially] three official MU hats produced. One was available online at the MU "campus store" back during the film's marketing campaign, one that was available only at Pixar Studios for the MU press event (which I hear is the best quality one made) and then there's this one which was only available at Disney Parks. The main difference compared to the other two is that this one (the Park's version) has Mike's signature wear and tear in the corner of the bill (as seen in my pic above) while the campus store and press event versions were not distressed. This is my personal favorite version, but what do you think? I love the way this one fits and I love the little tear (since that's how it is in the film). This is for sure my favorite hat; I wear it ALL the time.
I love it! Let me know your thoughts in the comment section below.
UPDATE 5/08/17: A new version of this hat has been released and
is now the most popular hat at Disney World/Land! When I visited there
recently, just about everywhere I looked I would see at least one person
wearing it (not an even an exaggeration). It is a little different from
the the one I have here (I heard this original one is better), but it's
very close. You can buy the new version on the ShopDisney site HERE or in the parks.
