1. Duffy is Mickey's huggable bear. Together, they travel the world, sharing exciting adventures and making new friends.
Development
Duffy first appeared as "The Disney Bear" in 2002 as a marketing gimmick to promote the opening of the Once Upon a Toy store in Walt Disney World's Downtown Disney. This bear already had the Mickey-silhouetted face, plus Mickey marks on his feet and left hip.

The artwork features cameos by lots of charac...

This later became a Duffy Photo Point and is the site where you can find the "Cape Cod is Duffy's Hometown" signage. Originally Duffy greetings had no set times or schedule; guests just had to...

Mickey is Minnie's favorite mouse, so she gave him a teddy bear she had hand-made with her whole heart. Minnie wrote a rosy "Bon Voyage!" message and carefully dropped it into a small glass bottle. She gently tied the little bottle around the bear's petite neck, capped it with a cork and sealed it with a kiss for...

The sweetest season of all has come to Cape Cod again this year. One day, Minnie was making chocolates. Duffy and ShellieMay tried their best to help. "This is for you, Mickey", Minnie said.
