Synopsis (original version)[]
Preshow[]
On a TV screen played before the show, TippyBlue introduces himself and briefly summarizes the story of Duffy.
Act 1[]
At her house, Minnie is busy putting the finishing touches on a teddy bear she's making for Mickey to take with him on his next sea expedition. Donald and Daisy visit to help with preparations, but Donald accidentally rips one of the stuffed animals Minnie made, and the two of them rush to leave before she can find out (Cute Little Teddy Bear). Mickey arrives, and Minnie presents the bear to him. While thinking of a name for it, Minnie explains that she also made a duffel bag to carry it in, so they name it Duffy (Your Name is Duffy). Minnie also makes a note in a bottle so she can keep Mickey company while he's far away (A Special Gift (for Mickey)); however, the moment she hangs it around Duffy's neck, he comes to life (My Name is Duffy). They figure that Minnie's warm, loving heart gave the bottle a magic power that allowed it to happen (A Special Gift (for Minnie)); thrilled that Duffy is alive, they continue to get ready for the trip at sea (My Friend Duffy).
Act 2[]
As Mickey and Duffy head to the port, Duffy meets TippyBlue, Cape Cod's mailbird. He explains that the world is full of dangerous things, and this scares Duffy. However, Mickey comforts him, explaining the concept of friendship to him to tell him that they'll be together no matter what happens (Friendship (Let's Help Each Other Out)). Afterwards, Mickey and Tippy both help Duffy decide where they want to go on the trip, describing destinations like Arabian Coast, Mermaid Lagoon, and Mediterranean Harbor (Let's Go on an Adventure). With that, the duo gets ready to set sail, but not without taking a group picture with their friends (Friendship (Reprise), My Friend Duffy (Finale)).
