Duffy the Bear is a unique Disney character because he first appeared as a merchandising item and only later made an appearance on television. In Japan, there seems to be an obsession with cuteness, so this adorable bear fits right in. Duffy is wildly popular, and you can see fans toting the stuffed bear around the park. The phenomenon is not limited to children; adult men and women also carry Duffy with them.
You can meet Duffy the Bear in the Cape Cod section of the American Waterfront in Tokyo DisneySea. Have your picture taken by a professional photographer for ¥1500, or snap your own while posing with this lovable character. Lines can be long, but this is a great souvenir for fans! Don’t forget to look for your own Duffy products at Aunt Peg’s Village Store around the corner
