It's not clear to me why she'd be there at all.

Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Oh man, those benches are a big deal to me too!!!!!! If they are going to have meet and greets, rather it be Elastigirl. If we cannot have a walk around Jessica Rabbit, she is the next best thing.

Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Ya, I have to say, the placement of Mrs Incredible made sense here.
Originally Posted By TDLFAN FYI... Duffy does meet and greet in the Waterfront Park Gazeebo in American Waterfront as well..and Duffy bears are being sold in stores all over TDS, not just Cape Cod's, so I guess it is already a fair game.

I know some people are making light of this on this thread, but many of them have not been to TDS and may not realize how jarring it looks. I guess the analogy I'd make is putting Pixar characters out of place in World Showcase. What if Tow Mater was to pull up right in front of American Adventure? That section of Epcot and Cars are both based in the US, so it would be okay to mix them together, right?
Originally Posted By TokyoSea @TDLFAN yes, you're right. but if he ends up anywhere else in the park it will then be time...
Originally Posted By TDLFAN Its already sold at ALL Disney parks (except Paris'?) so we are passed that time you talk about. Sadly.
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo No duffy in Paris (much to my wife's regret). I suppose I do not find it jarring Superdry as I am sadly now used to the constant misplacements in DLP, TDS still seems like it is far better managed.

Woody in Frontierland seems weird to me -/ as does Buzz Lightyeear in Tomorrowland -- as does Pooh in Critter Cointry.
