So many people posted photos of themselves wearing Mickey Mouse ears that Disney decided to double its donation pledge to Make-A-Wish from $1 million to $2 million.

The Walt Disney Company launched the “Share Your Ears” campaign in February in honor of Disneyland’s 60th anniversary, with officials saying the company would donate $5 to Make-A-Wish for each photo fans posted wearing their favorite pair of ears online using the #ShareYourEars hashtag.

Due to the success of the campaign, Disneyland Resort president Michael Colglazier announced Monday morning that the company would double its donation, originally capped at $1 million.

As part of the campaign, special mouse ears were made featuring Mickey and Minnie Mouse and Donald Duck with their arms open, and Goofy tipping his cap in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle. The words “Wishes do come true” were written underneath the characters, and the ears show fireworks exploding.

The special ears retailed for $19.95 and only 7,500 were made. All proceeds, estimated to be around $150,000, will be donated to Make-a-Wish.

Disney granted its first wish through Make-A-Wish 35 years ago, according to Colglazier.

“Since then, the Walt Disney Company has hosted more than 100,000 wishes around the world,” he said.
