A Magical New Show on Disney Adventure
Get ready for an adorable debut! Duffy and his plush pals are starring in their very first-ever stage show at sea aboard Disney Cruise Line's newest ship, the Disney Adventure.

All About the Show Join Duffy, ShellieMay, ‘Olu Mel, CookieAnn, StellaLou, Gelatoni, and LinaBell for a heartwarming 16-minute adventure on the open-air Garden Stage in the Disney Imagination Garden (Deck 10).

They perform catchy original songs while the massive backdrop—a 30-foot-tall by 50-foot-wide LED screen—transforms with vibrant animations to whisk everyone away to different seaside scenes. Best of all, you can catch great views from your stateroom verandah (up through Deck 16) or right in the Imagination Garden area.
