Hi everyone, this is Midori from MMN’s Editorial Department.
This summer at DisneySea, Duffy and Friends are holding a fun event called Duffy’s Summer Fun which will be held from June 6 to August 8, 2019. During the event, there will be cute Duffy-themed food, new decorations and photo spots so I just had to go witness it for myself. This is what I found!
Iced Caramel Milk Tea with Souvenir Coaster: ￥1,000 (after tax)
This iced caramel milk tea comes with a coaster that is an inflatable swim ring. The milk tea comes with the inflatable swim ring as a set at Cape Cod Confections which is located inside the American Waterfront.
The float coaster and its summery design includes not only Duffy, but also ShellieMay and many other friends. Even before the floats were released, fans were amazed by the cute designs. In fact, there was a large queue for them on the first day of sales!
You can also take a cute photo together with Duffy. If you want a photo with Duffy, you should head to Cape Cod where many have been set up. Finding your perfect spot couldn’t be easier!
The milk tea is moderately sweet with a mild bitter caramel flavour. It’s perfect to sip while on walk down the streets of Cape Cod.
Duffy’s Pawprint Burger
Cape Cod Cook-Off First Prize Set: ￥1080 (after tax)
The burger in the Duffy Pawprint burger contains a beef patty with lettuce and grated cheese. This is topped with taco meat sauce. What a perfect meal for a hot summer’s day.
If you pay an extra ￥1,100, you can also get a Duffy and Friends souvenir lunch bag.
Unique Park Decorations Around Every Corner
There are so many decorations that are mainly focussed around the Cape Cod area. These are only around for the event period.
You can actually sit in these chairs. This is another example of a photospot where you can take a seat alongside the Duffy crew, who are waiting to take a dip in the sea! How about taking a photo of your own Duffy in the chair?
After a short walk, you will discover Duffy and Friends again but this time, they are playing in a sandbox. You could take a photo of them as they are but feel free to join them. ♪
There are also large decorations around the park, which are the perfect spots to take photos with your friends.
Of course these photo spots are a great opportunity to take lots of selfies, but you could also take a picture of your own stuffed Duffy toy which could be quite interesting. If you have your own Duffy toy at home, you just cannot go to DisneySea without them!
There is even a photo spot at DisneySea Station (Disney Resort line) located in front of the entrance to Disney Resort. Please do not forget to check this out.
Come enjoy a fun day out in the summer sun with DisneySea’s iconic character Duffy.

From Thursday 6th June, Tokyo DisneySea is hosting a special event called Duffy's Sunny Fun. As we wait in excitement for this event to start, a special video has been released! The video shows Duffy and friends having a wonderful time on the beach under the sparkling sun as the breeze gently rolls in.
Duffy and friends are having such a wonderful time talking and playing on Cape Cod beach under the blue sky of a dreamy summer's day. Everyone is having fun in their own way and eventually, the beautiful sun and refreshing breeze sweeps Duffy away to a dreamland. I wonder what it would be like to spend a summer's day with them... Truth is, you can! At the park, Duffy and ShellieMay will meet and greet guests in their new costumes. The costumes have summery designs and you'll feel refreshed just looking at them. However, they'll only be wearing these summer costumes for a limited time! When the characters come to greet you, you'll notice that Duffy is wearing a summer-themed cool shirt and ShellieMay will be wearing a straw hat. Make sure you go say hi! As the start of summer approaches, whisk yourself over to DisneySea to create some wonderful summer memories. © Disney Information

Hi, everyone. I'm Midori, part of the editorial team here at MOSHI MOSHI NIPPON. Tanabata, also known at the Star Festival, is a traditional annual festival in Japan which celebrates the meeting of the deities Orihime and and Hikoboshi who are only able to see each other once a year. Right now at Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea a special Tanabata event is being held called "Tanabata Days." It began on June 6 and will run until July 7. During the Tanabata season in Japan, people write their wishes on tanzaku, small pieces of paper, and hang them up before praying to the stars. If you head on over to Tokyo Disneyland right now you can do just that!
At the entrance to Tokyo Disneyland in the World Bazaar is the "Wishing Place" where guests are invited to jot down their wishes. You'll find it by spotting the two Tanabata decorations of Mickey and Minnie. If you look really close you'll see that the characters are holding their own washing cards too. Be sure to sneak a peek♡ You'll also find Donald and Daisy to the side of Cinderella's castle. Guests can get their own wishing cards from one of the cast members dressed in yukata. The cards are yellow. The cast also have pens and desks prepared for guests too. Once you've written your wish the next step is to hang it at the Wishing Place. The colours of the cards are different at Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea. Perhaps your wish will be granted? When the evening settles in the Wishing Place is lit up and renamed the Starlight Wishing Place. The illuminations represent the stars and constellations that float in the Milky Way, all references to Tanabata. You're sure to enjoy a magical and romantic Tanabata at this event, so be sure to check it out. The visuals and lights are of course gorgeous, but the music is wonderful! Perhaps your dream to the stars will come true at Disneyland's Wishing Place♪© Disney Information

Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea will be temporarily closed until March 15 to reduce the spread of the new coronavirus. Japan's Coronavirus Countermeasures Taskforce has advised that there is a high risk of spreading the infection at large-scale sports and culture events and facilities where large numbers of people travel from across the country and congregate in one area. As many facilities and events in Tokyo are being restricted, postponed and even cancelled over the next two weeks, Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea announced that both parks will close temporarily from February 29 - March 15, 2020. The parks plan to reopen on March 16, 2020, however this will be decided following consultation with concerned administrative agencies and will be announced on their official website. If you have already purchased tickets which are valid during the parks' closing dates, please refer to the links below.
