Duffy & Friends share a Friendship-Filled Moment to fans around the world

Duffy & Friends share a Friendship-Filled Moment to fans around the world Duffy & Friends

Duffy & Friends is making our hearts swell by sharing a Friendship-Filled Moment to fans around the world!

Duffy and Friends are a group of beloved characters that are most familiar to the Tokyo Disney Resort, Shanghai Disney Resort, Hong Kong Disneyland Resort, and Aulani A Disney Resort and Spa.

Their story is an original Walt Disney Imagineering story, and goes as such; once Mickey Mouse the sailor was going on a long sea voyage from Cape Cod. So he wouldn’t be lonely Minnie Mouse hand-sewed him a sweet teddy bear to keep him company. She gave the bear to Mickey in a duffel bag, which was the inspiration for his name “Duffy.” Along with their great and exciting adventures, Mickey and Duffy make a ton of new friends!

In this video ‘Morning Glory’ you’ll see Duffy and friends (ShellieMay, Gelatoni, StellaLous, CookieAnn, and ‘Olu Mel) plant morning glory seeds in their garden, which was a gift from Mickey! As the plants start to grow, an unexpected problem occurs. Check out the short story to see how Duffy & Friends use love, teamwork, and friendship to solve the problem!

Be a part of Duffy’s adventures by using the hashtag #DuffyandFriends on social media to share your adventures with Duffy and all his friends!

The Walt Disney Family Museum is offering a special virtual exhibit for Disney fans staying home during the COVID-19 pandemic. The World of Tomorrow exhibit includes 175 unique pieces to be displayed in a virtual recreation of the museum’s Diane Disney Miller Exhibition Hall.

“The Walt Disney Family Museum is excited to premiere The World of Tomorrow, a new virtual exhibition featuring works created by the museum’s global community. Inspired by each artists’ vision for a “world of tomorrow,” this diverse selection of works includes paintings, drawings, photographs, and 3D objects in a 3D-rendered virtual gallery space.

During our temporary closure, The Walt Disney Family Museum has continued to share Walt’s story across social media and virtual platforms. As part of the museum’s mission to enlighten and educate future generations, we strive to highlight the importance of growth through adversity, and how the adversity Walt faced shaped him to be one of the great innovators of the 20th century. The World of Tomorrow draws inspiration from Walt’s ambition to keep moving forward and design a brighter future.”

One of the things I missed about Disney being closed were the amazing new snacks. We were excited to be able to try a brand new dessert yesterday from Disney Springs. This delicious new treat is from Vivoli Il Gelato.

Delicious New Strawberry Shortcake Bombolato

Delicious New Strawberry Shortcake Bombolato Now At Disney Springs

So what exactly is a Strawberry Shortcake Bombolato? It’s cake batter gelato, strawberries, and strawberry sauce, all inside a warm Italian doughnut. It was as amazing as it sounds.

Delicious New Strawberry Shortcake Bombolato Now At Disney Springs

This cake batter filled Italian doughnut was a perfect treat for the summer. The strawberries really pulled this all together. The cake batter gelato wasn’t heavy or overly sweet like ice cream can be. Even as it melted it just really blended the flavors together.

Amazing new Strawberry Shortcake Bombolato from @vivoli_il_gelato in @disneysprings!! This delicious new dessert is cake batter gelato, strawberries, and strawberry sauce, inside a warm Italian doughnut. It’s $10.12 after tax. This was so good but you better eat it fast  #vivoliilgelato #disneysprings #disneysnacks #disneytreats #disneyfood #wdw #chipandco #disneyeats #gelato

The Strawberry Shortcake Bombolato was one of the best desserts I’ve tried in a while. Even before all the closures. You can find this at Vivoli Il Gelato in Disney Springs and it’s $9.50 plus tax.
