WDW is still requiring only real names or diminutives of real names.

Unfortunately I think that Disney is doing this because they know that they can get away with it. I just recently got my daughter her first pair of ears and my sucker of a fiancee paid the $7 dollars for the "premium" lettering. He wanted it because he thought that it looked better. I wanted the more traditional stitching. Also we were asked 3 times if we were sure that we only wanted her name and not the year as well. Do they want us to have the year on there so that I can buy ears every year we go? I felt like they were trying to force it on us.
From DLToday on Twitter. Looks like the policy stays the same.

How stupid.
"It has that thing - the imagination, and the feeling of happy excitement - I knew when I was kid."
- Walt Disney on Disneyland
On a hot summer day, 3 dollars would buy me a dole whip. I would rather not buy the ears (hot and sweaty on a hot day anyway.) and have a dole whip instead and have the extra money for El Pollo Loco for lunch. I always leave mid afternoon for a rest and El Pollo Loco... Because I am on a budget, and I put my money where I think it best suits me, not Disneyland..... And right now that is how most people are thinking. My favorite souvenir ever are the park maps.. I just can't help it. I love them.. I don't need no ears!!And the truth is, Disneyland is NOT the same quality anymore as when Walt was around. Sad, but it is the truth... Remember when they did maintenance EVERY night?? So they charge me more and more and give me less and less. Yes, percieved value. That is it in a nut shell....
They still do maintenance every night, Jazziered.

Unless they think your real name is too controversial, then they just say "sorry."
Women, they make the highs higher and the lows more frequent.
They're not supposed to. They're supposed to put it on if you provide proof. I saw someone get "Kike", pronounced "Kee-kay" on their hat. It's short for Enrique.

The rules still stand. Names, derivatives of names, titles, and family relationships (e.g. Mom, Dad, Grandma). For example, if Dr. Leonard McCoy wanted something personalized, he could get "Leonard," "Leo," "Doctor," or "Dr. McCoy," but not "Bones."
Although this won't help you now, the Cast Member was incorrect. Official policy is to do any name if there is an accompanying government issued identification with that name on it. I personally have seen an ID that said "Pepsi" and the Cast Member embroidered that on the hat.
If it is a hat that is currently in stock, it should not be a problem, but don't quote me on that. You would likely be asked to pay the $3.00 though.I have a question about embroidering hats...we bought our girls ears 3 years ago, and in a moment of absolute brilliance, did not get them embroidered! So now we are going in 3 weeks
and I am thinking of bringing the hats and having them finally personalized. What are the chances of me having difficulties bringing them in without someone thinking I have not paid for them? I will gladly pay the $3/hat, but I really don't want to have to "repurchase" them just to get them embroidered.
Your mileage may vary with this, but generally, yeah, if something goes wrong, whether it be user error or machine error, there is little that can be done if the hat is not currently in stock and outside of the return policy window.
I don't understand why some Cast Members do this. If you told me you only wanted the name, that's all I do. But if you tell me you wanted the year embroidered on the hat and you didn't get the Premium embroidery, I would be obligated to tell you no. Names, titles, or family relations only.
What a shame. I am sure the machine that is used has long been paid for.
I wonder how Walt would handle the current economic situation.
What do you have to give?
All that Ihavecan.
Sorry, I was writing between calls at work. I meant when they checked every bulb, checked paint and fixed it immediately, everynight. They don't do it like that anymore.
Just a wild guess, but I sure as hell bet he wouldn't be shoveling a billion-plus into fixing DCA, nor be in the hole for how many millions for a monorail upgrade, because the guys he'd have hired for WED would've done it right the first time.I wonder how Walt would handle the current economic situation.
One thing's for sure, Gurr wouldn't have that golden tan -- he'd be pulling 60-hr weeks in Glendale to straighten out the mess, retirement or no!

That is SO frustrating!

What's the difference between basic and premium writing?
It's a shame that Disney is doing this - I understand that they have a business to run, but they should also understand how hard it is for families to just get there because admission is so high.
