Hiya, Brittany! Welcome to
planDisney, where we love helping our fellow Guests plan magical Disney vacations.
Our very special friend,
Duffy the Disney Bear, loves traveling the world with his pals ShellieMay, Gelatoni, StellaLou, CookieAnn, and 'Olu Mel. They really are the most adventurous group of friends, but this sometimes means that they might not be where you need them to be at certain times.
After some research, I regret telling you that Duffy doesn't seem to be available at any merchandise locations within the Walt Disney World Resort at this time. I also searched far and wide for our fluffy friend on
shopDisney, but he isn't there either. It looks like he wants to play a little hide-and-seek with us! But do not fret, Brittany, because I have a couple of options for you today.
If your nephew absolutely has to make a new best friend out of Duffy, I suggest you search for him on Amazon or eBay. He likes to hide there sometimes, too! But if you just can't seem to make his acquaintance, no matter how hard you try, you could also introduce your nephew to the Big Cheese himself...
Mickey Mouse! Our original Disney pal is just as soft and cuddly as Duffy, and I think you'd agree with me when I say he's a classic. Plus, you can also personalize him and embroider your nephew's name on his iconic yellow shoes (kind of like what Andy did with Woody and Buzz, but better!). I might be a little bit biased, but Mickey definitely has a very special place in my heart.
Brittany, I hope that you'll be able to find the perfect Disney pal for your precious nephew. Please don't hesitate to come back and ask me any other questions you might have!
Have a hot diggity dog day!
Ana Paula
