It has come to our attention that the Duffy meet and greet at Epcot will be going away as of October 3rd. I know that the lovable pal of Mickey has been controversial since his arrival on the Disney Park scene a few years ago...but heck, we absolutely love him. There is something about his ridiculous backstory or his immense hug-ability, but we just adore this beige bear.
Please take the time and visit him while he lasts at his dedicated meet and greet area. What this has in store for Duffy merchandise in Epcot remains to be seen. I'm hoping some higher up at the parks will swoop in last minute and save our beloved friend...but thats obviously doubtful.
noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
ReplyDeleteThis is devastating... Hopefully even if they take down his meet and greet area he will still be around to meet in a different spot...
ReplyDeletehmm I never really cared for him but I think I will stop and see him before he goes! Would hate to miss the chance for good :/
ReplyDeleteDo you know if there's a website where I can talk to Disney staff, because I really want to beg them to keep Duffy. I love him so much and I'd hate to see him go.
ReplyDeleteWould you mind telling me what was controversial about Duffy? I'm a Disneyland girl all the way, and was confused when the toys started showing up in Anaheim. My thinking has always been, why did we need a nondescript-looking teddy bear when there are so many Disney characters to make plushies from already? Clearly other people don't share my sentiment, lol
