Anyway, eliminating this is one is one of the tops of the disappointing decisions Disney has made, not just the Duffy on a stick but Duffy as a whole.
Somehow, last trip we ended up with a Shellie Mae (Duffy's best friend) stuffed animal. Where does that fit in the 'not a real Disney character' discussion?
On our last trip when the girls really wanted to hit every country we had the hardest time in the UK pavillion. The regular table had a sign saying it was located somewhere else, went there and the cast members sent us back to the table. Took 4 cast members before they actually came up with where the guy with the stamp was.Bets IF it gets replaced with a similar thing it will go back to a pre-duffy generic mask or if they go IP then Mickey or Figment.... or they are cutting KidCot all together I know during some of my recent trips I've noticed at times certain pavilions KidCot tables being vacant
We love Duffy and Shelly Mae too. Have 2 Duffy's and 1 Shelly, many outfits.
I honestly never have understood why he (and she) didn't catch on here. And why he didn't catch on in Epcot of all places, seeing how he was given to Mickey for his travels, and all that.
Where better does he fit in?

They have Duffy photo spots with little fold down benches all over Disney Tokyo.There were "pre-Duffy" hidden Mickey bears prior to them making him a permanent full-fledged character. It's my bet that they sold well enough that they took the plunge. And, yes, Duffy caught on big-time in the Asian parks where there are also Duffy's friends available, and people carry them around in the parks.
Of course he is. He belongs to Mickey, was a gift from Minnie. How much more legit does he need to be?Another vote for the masks! My college-aged daughter still has hers. It was one of our best souvenirs. The "charms" were all so interesting, and the interaction at each country was great. Definitely worth the effort.
We tried to have our niece and nephews color Duffy once, but they were not interested. I thought it was weird that he was not a legit Disney character.
Same here. He had as much a line as any other character at that location.Yep to that, I think Disney underestimated how popular Duffy was. I know a lot of people who feel the same way, here's out last picture of him....sigh;

And we have to content ourselves with this;

We were there in late May and my daughter and her friend made it their mission to do get all the stamps
I recently found one of the masks they used to hand out, they had not only stamps but dangly paper charms from all the countries. My daughter had been hoarding it for the past 10 years or so.
I apologize. I couldn't figure out who he was. I'm not familiar with the movie.Of course he is. He belongs to Mickey, was a gift from Minnie. How much more legit does he need to be?
