Duffy the Disney Bear is Mickey Mouse’s very own teddy bear. Born from an original Walt Disney Imagineering story, Duffy continues to be a popular Disney character with fans around the world.

With the rise of Duffy’s popularity, Imagineers noticed many guests purchased multiple plush of Duffy, giving the bears unique names and costumes. That inspired Imagineers to create a companion to Duffy—his best friend, ShellieMay. Based on the pair’s increasing popularity, Imagineers decided to develop an entire collection of characters, each with a distinct personality and talent: artistic cat friend, Gelatoni, dancing rabbit friend, StellaLou, inventive dog friend, CookieAnn, and musical turtle friend, ‘Olu Mel. Learn more about Duffy’s friends and their stories created by Imagineers here.
LinaBell was the latest friend introduced to Duffy’s group. She made her debut at Shanghai Disney Resort on September 29, 2021, and has been a fan-favorite character since. Disney Parks Blog describes LinaBell and her story as follows:
She is a fox with an inquisitive mind and the intelligence that supports it. She finds joy and excitement in solving problems and mysteries.
Duffy met LinaBell when he was lost in the forest following a butterfly. LinaBell suddenly but masterfully took out her magnifying glass and started examining “clues” on Duffy’s body to figure out where he had come from. Thanks to her detective-like talent, Duffy was able to be reunited with Mickey Mouse. Duffy and the rest of the friends are often in awe of her ingenious ways of solving problems.
LinaBell teaches all of us to look around for clues. You never know; clues to our problems might be right in front of our eyes, and we just don’t know it!

LinaBell will surely have a warm welcome from Guests at Hong Kong Disneyland when she makes her debut at the Park on September 9 and quickly become a fan favorite.
