Who's Duffy the Bear? As I explored the gift shops on Disney Dream there were lots of cute little bears named Duffy. I had seen this little guy advertised as coming to Disneystore.com (my FAVORITE store!), but never really researched to see who he was.
Then I was at Epcot and I saw the gazebo where he does his meet and greet (he wasn't in when I first walked past), but I saw the store across the way FULL of Duffy the Bear! Later I saw him at the United States Pavilion gift shop decked out in his Red White and Blue and fell in love! I almost got him there but waited till later when I went back to the Duffy store. I decided to go check it out after dinner. Well besides checking out the store- Duffy himself was there in a cute pumpkin outfit!
After meeting Duffy in person I headed to the store and what a time I had narrowing it down to the bear I wanted. Many were already dressed in various outfits, then there were the bears without clothes and you could choose his clothes.
So who is Duffy?The Story of Duffy The Disney Bear:
(from Duffy the Bear Facebook Page)
One day, Mickey Mouse was getting ready to set sail on a long sea voyage. Minnie Mouse made him a special teddy bear to take with him so he would never be lonely. Minnie presented her hand sewn bear to Mickey in a duffel bag. Mickey loved the bear and named him Duffy.
As Mickey and Duffy sailed on their journey, they visited all sorts of exciting places and make new friends along the way. At the end of their travels, they sailed back home for a wonderful reunion with Minnie.
Mickey and Duffy shared their magical memories and photos with Minnie, who was thrilled that Duffy was such a great friend and companion for Mickey.

Duffy the Bear and a variety of merchandise can be found on Disney Cruise Line and at Disney Parks. Duffy is only available at the parks and through disneystore.com as he is part of Disney Parks merchandise. There is also a storybook- watch for it in the parks and on disneystore.com.
When you get your Duffy, be sure to bring him with you to the parks and other Disney Vacations as Duffy was born to travel!
PS- I rumor has it he will be attending Mickey's Once Upon A Christmastime Parade. Sure wish I was there to see him there this holiday season! Contact me for more information on Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party! It is a fun party you don't want to miss if you plan to visit Magic Kingdom in December!
