We have seen a LOT of Olu Mel at Walt Disney World’s Polynesian Resort lately.

This turtle, who is a friend of Duffy, the Disney Bear, is typically found at Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa, in Hawaii.
And now, it seems as though Olu Mel has brought more of his friends with him! We spotted TONS of new merch featuring Olu Mel as well as Duffy, Shellie May, and Gelatoni!
Olu Mel and Duffy keychains
Typically only found at Disney’s parks overseas, these characters popped up as plush keychains at the Polynesian! There’s this Olu Mel keychain, dressed up in a shirt that is PERFECT for his home in Hawaii…

…Gelatoni, who’s spending his beach day in swim trunks and painting (using a Mickey-shaped easel!)…
…and Shellie May, with a lei in hand!

These too-cute keychains are $15 each. Not feeling a plush keychain? You can rep Olu Mel, Duffy, and Gelatoni on this tee, which costs $40.

Just in time for the holidays, there’s also a Santa hat featuring Olu Mel and StellaLou, Duffy’s bunny buddy!

And if you’re a big Olu Mel fan, you have been able to buy his plush for about two months now, and now you can dress him in this little ukelele outfit for $27!
