We have a lot of things to look forward to in 2013 at Disney Parks, including the upcoming 30th anniversary of Tokyo Disney Resort. Earlier this week, the resort unveiled plans for a new show, “Mickey & Duffy’s Spring Voyage,” that will help spread the celebration throughout Tokyo DisneySea.

 

Presented from March 18-June 30, the show will tell the story of Duffy the Disney Bear traveling with Mickey Mouse to enjoy springtime at Tokyo DisneySea. They embark on their cruise from Cape Cod and visit the ports of Mediterranean Harbor, American Waterfront, and Arabian Coast. Together with other Disney characters dressed in new spring costumes, they take part in “mini shows” at each stop for a unique springtime celebration.

Honestly, if they would have originally made Duffy in the "Disney" style (Mickey, Donald, Minnie, etc) I would like him a lot more. He and his girlfriend (?) just seem a bit "out of place" next to Mickey and Minnie. But, what do I know?

^Duffy is INSANELY popular at TDS. We're talking 2+ hour lines to buy limited edition Duffy items at TDS popular, so I think they made the right choice.

[cfc]

I don't get the whole "Duffy thing," either, but people like what they like--and the Japanese like a lot of weird stuff.

[SharkTums]

I didn't even know there was a 'girl' Duffy!?!?

That's totally cool. It's a matter of personal preference (or a lack thereof), really.

 

The only stuffed toy I have from one of the parks is an Oswald the Lucky Rabbit...

I see your Oswald and raise you Jack Skellington, two Pygmy Puffs, and a Steel Force Mascot.

 

Not to mention the insane amounts of Domo. Speaking of which, when do we see a park pick up the rights to Domo and put him on the front of their map?

Obviously I need to go back to Japan now.

Um........ Duffette?

 

Or maybe Duffie?

Now we must face the horrifying prospect that they can reproduce!

Don't feed Duffy after midnight, and don't get him wet, or there may be even more!

As if you need a reason to go back to Japan?

[Not For Sale]

Mickey looks like such a hipster in those clothes.

That's Shelly Mae, the bear Mickey made for Duffy so he wouldn't be lonely...

 

It shouldn't be long before she joins Duffy here in the States.

[COASTER FREAK 11]

^NO! Just no...

Isn't that the plot of Bride Of Frankenstein?" Hmm, I'm all for this if Duffy & Shelly start randomly attacking people...

Now a girl Duffy? I really hope they don't pick up in the US like in Japan.

Apparently she's been around since October 2010???

[jedimaster1227]

^Yep! And she's as insanely popular over there as Duffy is.

 

There's also their mailbird seagull friend, Tippy Blue.

[robbalvey]

^Yep! And she's as insanely popular over there as Duffy is.

Except that we were there in June 2011 for 8 days and we don't really remember her. I mean, I think I *vaguely* remember it...but you'd think of she was "insanely popular" we would remember it after being at the parks for 8 days.

[jedimaster1227]

^I was told that her merchandise sales are pretty strong, can't say I know for sure in terms of in-park presence, but her being included in this new show goes along with the idea that they might be pushing her into focus if she is less present.

[cfc]

I'd never heard of Tippy Blue before now. Is my life richer for this knowledge? Possibly. At least I'll know what I'm looking at when I'm at DisneySea.
