Duffy and Friends are celebrating their 20th anniversary at Tokyo DisneySea, with a party themed to rainbows and bubbles running from April 8, 2025 through March 19, 2026. The celebration spans new anniversary merchandise, special menus, colorful park décor, and a dedicated boat parade — "Duffy and Friends' Colorful Happiness Journey" — featuring all seven friends in brand-new 20th anniversary outfits.

Twenty Years of Duffy and Friends

Nearly twenty years ago, Duffy made his debut at Tokyo Disney Resort, and the character lineup has since grown to include six friends: ShellieMay, Gelatoni, StellaLou, CookieAnn, 'Olu Mel, and LinaBell. The anniversary celebration takes its theme — "Colorful Happiness" — from Duffy and Friends' philosophy of finding joy in the small things, centering the event around rainbows and bubbles as symbols of happiness.

Anniversary Décor Around the Park

The celebration transforms Tokyo DisneySea with themed decorations throughout. Starting at the park entrance, banners featuring all seven members of Duffy and Friends display the number "20." Picture-perfect moments are available around Via Paperino in Mediterranean Harbor, where colorful anniversary art adorns the walls. The buildings in Cape Cod are also decorated with rainbow and bubble motifs throughout the event.

Anniversary Merchandise

The 20th anniversary brings an extensive merchandise lineup. A standout item is the plush charms collection featuring all seven members holding a bubble-shaped case that can hold one of 20 special anniversary patches. The collection spans plushies, accessories, and themed goods celebrating the entire Duffy and Friends roster.

Special Food and Beverage

The anniversary adds a new flavor to the fan-favorite crème brûlée churro lineup at Tropic Al's in Lost River Delta: an all-new milk tea-flavored crème brûlée churro. Each churro is packaged in one of seven unique designs, each featuring a different member of Duffy and Friends. A new anniversary popcorn bucket also joins the lineup, featuring Duffy, Gelatoni, LinaBell, and the rest of the crew.

At Miguel's El Dorado Cantina in Lost River Delta, a dedicated 20th anniversary dining experience celebrates the world of Duffy. Guests can order a special Duffy set served with seasonal soups.

"Duffy and Friends' Colorful Happiness Journey" Parade

All seven members of Duffy and Friends will appear in brand-new 20th anniversary outfits during the "Duffy and Friends' Colorful Happiness Journey" — a boat parade that winds through the waterways of Tokyo DisneySea. The parade gives guests a unique opportunity to see the entire crew together in their celebratory attire as they travel through the park's iconic ports.
