Disney World fans know that special events in the parks often mean special appearances by rare characters!
We met Phineas and Ferb and Powerline Max at Jollywood Nights this year, and got a rare chance to see Ariel with Prince Eric and Aurora with Prince Phillip at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. But today, Disney shocked us by bringing out a rare character for the holiday — no special event ticket required!
Over at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Duffy the Disney Bear was meeting guests on Grand Avenue on Christmas Day!
Surprise! Santa Duffy is meeting guests in Disney’s Hollywood Studios! Previously, this meet and greet was available exclusively during Jollywood Nights! 🎄
