Duffy really must be big, because the middle portion of the show talked about the character and his popularity, showing women and children with stuffed Duffys, and showing where to catch the Duffy show. Also spotlighted were the ToT, JTTCOTE, Turtle Talk, Horizon Bay Restaurant character meal, Megellan's (including the secret room), the Roosevelt Lounge, and BraviSEAmo. Naturally they talked about touring tips, such as FastPass, baby swapping, the tips board, and getting wait times on a cell phone. A very well done show. I hope it comes up again in the future, because my recording is marred by digital picture artifacts.
