Duffy the Disney Bear Passholder Exclusive T-shirt

Duffy Signing

Since first learning of Duffy the Disney Bear‘s popularity in Japan’s Tokyo Disney Sea, I’ve been a huge fan and supporter of his presence here in the US Disney parks. I love reporting on Duffy’s new outfits and special edition Duffy bears already in costume.

So of course I was in attendance today when 750 Walt Disney World Annual Passholders received a special t-shirt commemorating Duffy’s one-year anniversary in the parks here. Also part of this event was a Duffy book release and signing by the illustrator, Monty Maldovan. This new story book tells the tale of Duffy the Disney Bear and is sure to be a favorite around these parts. The illustrations are simply darling.

I’m continually amazed at what Disney gives back to its guests and annual passholders and today was no exception. Of course, the best part was walking through the door to my little guy and giving him Duffy’s new shirt and book. He was SO excited. As you can see, so were Duffy and friends:

Thanks once again to Disney Parks for a memorable day!

About Suzannah Otis

A child of the 80's, Zanna grew up on a never-ending quest the next best sticker for her collection. First falling in love with a misplaced extra-terrestrial, she followed that up with a band of Ewoks, the entirety of the original EPCOT Center, and sipping her first iced coffee at age 10. All of these things shaped her life, growing up outside of Boston where she climbed trees and roller-skated till the streetlights came on.

Mother of 2 adult humans, an 11-year old (also human), 3 cats, and a corgi. She is also the wife to one husband, who puts up with all of the above. Zanna tries to find that one little spark in everything, and thanks you very much for taking the time to read this.
