ShellieMay The Disney Bear Merchandise Coming to Walt Disney World Late Fall 2015
Disney Parks Merchandise has announced that they will be launching the ShellieMay The Disney Bear line at the Disneyland and Walt Disney World resorts this Fall:
Duffy the Disney Bear’s Best Friend ShellieMay Coming to Disney Parks This Fall
by Steven Miller, Merchandise Communications Manager
The Official Disney Parks Blog
October 12th, 2015
I’m excited to announce that ShellieMay, Duffy the Disney Bear’s best friend, will be coming to Disney Parks this fall. You may recall we introduced plush and accessories for Duffy the Disney Bear in fall 2010. ShellieMay debuted at Tokyo Disney Resort a few years ago, and was later added to Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa, in August 2014. She has been one of the most requested items from Duffy the Disney Bear fans at Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resorts in recent years.
As the story goes, ShellieMay was made by Minnie Mouse and filled her with joy so that Duffy would have a best friend by his side. We will introduce a 17-inch plush bear along with several costumes for dressing ShellieMay. Guests may also find a “My First ShellieMay” 12-inch plush bear.
Costumes will include fun things like a two-pack of costumes for dressing Duffy and ShellieMay as Cinderella and Prince Charming. Other costumes will feature a deluxe Minnie Mouse costume or a deluxe pajama outfit.
Guests should look for several 12-inch pre-dressed plush including ShellieMay as a cheerleader and another with her enjoying a day at Disney Parks
Finally, we are releasing a hardcover book that tells the story of ShellieMay along with a plush pillow. Both items will be perfect for bedtime stories. Look for ShellieMay items next to where Duffy the Disney Bear items are offered at Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resort. Guests may also find select items on our Disney Parks online store or from the new Shop Disney Parks app that is available as a free download from your favorite app store.
Seems like missed synergy with Epcot closing the Duffy the Disney Bear Meet & Greet earlier this month ...

Ok, I am REALLY confused. We just got rid of Duffy, so now we need to bring in another bear?
Having them together would have make sense, but swapping them seems silly. Maybe I'm missing something though ...

ShellieMay
Just the Meet N Greet with Duffy went away. They are still going to sell his merchandize. ShellieMay just adds to the amount of merchandize available now too.

Too cute.
I hate that they sent Duffy away.

I am also confused. I liked Duffy. His character was cute. His merchandise was cute. (I think his story needed to be presented more to guests.). When his merchandise started to dwindle and his meet & greet disappeared I thought it was too bad that they didn't establish his place as a character people recognized more. But then to come back and try to sell a whole new Duffy with a bow? Confusing.

Nothing makes much sense. We once saw two Radcliffes greeting at the same time. One was in Liberty Square and one was near the entrance.

It's an old Hollywood trick known as saving money!
All they need to do it put a bow and a dress on the Duffy costume and it's new and improved! Survey's say that's what our guests wanted...

To bad the name wasn't Sally Mae. Lol. Right bad kitty?

Love Duffy. Love ShellieMay. But I also buy into the whole 'kawaii' Japanese thing. Still sad they removed Duffy from the parks. I love Daisy, but her meeting in World Showcase in the unchanged gazebo Duffy occupied? THAT makes no sense.

That was my thought too. It's just like when sports teams wear 'throwback' or 'alternate' jerseys. The whole reason to do that is to get people who already had the old version to go out and buy the newly released one. No new cast-members to train, no new meet and greet to build, just a different costume on the same bear and you've got a whole new product line.

This totally makes no sense.

It makes as much sense as Tortuga Tavern selling BBQ.

ShellieMay The Disney Bear Merchandise Coming to Walt Disney World Late Fall ...
The Tortuga Tavern and Pecos Bill menu thing is mind boggling. Flip it and it makes much more sense.

It does seem odd that they would retire one meet & greet and introduce the other. Wouldn't it be cuter if they were together?

As far as I'm aware, this is just merchandise (and she wouldn't be out meeting)
