Duffy the Disney Bear is here! (PART 1)

Yes, finally YESTERDAY, Duffy, the Disney Bear has arrived in Epcot!

Here's a video showing his arrival, from the Seven Seas Lagoon (note that the Seven Seas Lagoon is NOT connected to the World Showcase Lagoon, so I believe that Duffy is not only a traveler, but also an illusionist:

And now, some official OTPN pictures of the Grand Opening day! (PART 1):

Duffy has already invaded most of the stores of Epcot:

To dress him up, you have to pay an additional $15.00 + tax.

There was a celebration here, right? :-)

In the meantime, do you like Duffy? Do you think that people in general will get acquainted with it.... one day?
I like it, but I think that this is more focused on earning even more money by selling teddy bears and all the stuff related to it... but still, it looks like a nice character. Will it be successful here in the U.S.A. as much as in Tokyo? Only time will tell....
Thanks for viewing, and PART 2 CAN BE VIEWED HERE!
