Duffy The Disney Bear’s new friend LinaBell is set to make her Hong Kong Disneyland debut on September 9, 2022. To celebrate her exciting debut, Hong Kong Disneyland will celebrate with an array of offerings including a meet and greet, exclusive merchandise, special LinaBell-inspired food plus more!

LinaBell made her Disney Parks debut at Shanghai Disneyland in 2021 and will make her Japanese debut at Tokyo DisneySea on September 8, 2022.

The Story of LinaBell

Duffy the Disney Bear 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” to figure out where Duffy had come from. Thanks to her detective-like talent, Duffy was able to be reunited with Mickey Mouse. Duffy and the rest of their friends are often in awe of her ingenious ways of solving problems.

Leading up to LinaBell’s arrival, fans can go on a scavenger hunt in the park!  On August 26-28, September 2-4, and September 9-11, guests at Hong Kong Disneyland can enjoy gorgeous LinaBell pavement art. Additional activities will include fan chant Instagram filters, digital picture borders, social profile pictures, and LinaBell’s debut in the Mickey and Friends Celebration processional.

Merchandise

The initial release of LinaBell merchandise will be made available exclusively through Hong Kong Disneyland’s online store and will be released in phases. From August 22, 2022, the long-awaited LinaBell Plush can be purchased online. A limited number of 10,000 units are available for pick up on September 9, 2022.

In addition to the LinaBell plush, Hong Kong Disneyland will offer a series of new and exclusive LinaBell-themed merchandise items including LinaBell-themed headbands, plush keychains, bags, accessories plus more.
