Duffy the Disney Bears circle of friends is growing yet again! Duffy’s new friend ‘Olu is making his global debut at Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa, in Ko Olina, Hawaiʻi.
ʻOlu the Turtle will join Duffy and his friends ShellieMay the bear and Gelatoni the cat, as well as and StellaLou the bunny and Cookie, a yellow dog and expert of the culinary arts, who just debuted at Hong Kong Disneyland earlier this month.
The debut will come with an exclusive new line of merchandise on July 27! Now here’s how they met:
As Mickey and Duffy sailed the islands on a quest to find the perfect birthday present for ShellieMay, rhythmic sounds of an ‘ukulele called to them over the ocean, leading them to a cozy cove and to ‘Olu, a kindhearted turtle playing happy music.
‘Olu smiled and shyly greeted Duffy, “I play my ‘ukulele to make songs of love. Want to sing with me?” ‘Olu strummed a beautiful song for his new friends. “That will be the perfect present for ShellieMay!” said Duffy excitedly. Off to the party they went, singing the special song together for their birthday friend.
