jedimaster1227 76 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2012/12/mickey-duffys-spring-voyage-to-debut-at-tokyo-disneysea-in-2013/ 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. Link to post Share on other sites
A.J. 36 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Honestly, if they would have originally made Duffy in the "Disney" style (Mickey, Donald, Minnie, etc) I would like him a lot more.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? Link to post Share on other sites
Jew 33 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 ^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. Link to post Share on other sites
cfc 32 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I don't get the whole "Duffy thing," either, but people like what they like--and the Japanese like a lot of weird stuff. Link to post Share on other sites
SharkTums 133 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I didn't even know there was a 'girl' Duffy!?!? Link to post Share on other sites

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... Link to post Share on other sites
triggernel 0 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 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? Link to post Share on other sites

jedimaster1227 76 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 ^Yep! And she's as insanely popular over there as Duffy is. There's also their mailbird seagull friend, Tippy Blue. Link to post Share on other sites
robbalvey 83 Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 ^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. Link to post Share on other sites
jedimaster1227 76 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 ^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 32 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 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. Link to post Share on other sites
