Let the Memories Be-AR-gin: Duffy the Disney Bear came into existence when with Minnie Mouse, in 2004, sewed a special cuddly teddy bear as a gift for Mickey to take on is world travels. Minnie wanted to ensure that Mickey would never be lonely, so she created the teddy, which Mickey named Duffy.

Mickey and Duffy became such great pals that Mickey decided he wanted to share his new friend with Guests at Disney theme parks, so Duffy began meeting and greeting Guests at Tokyo DisneySea in December of that year. Guests can now meet Duffy at Epcot and Disney’s California Adventure.
