There are some new news and upgrades from the Walt Disney World Resort this past week.

Our first news takes us to Magic Kingdom, where some construction walls have gone up in a somewhat unexpected place, especially for this time of year.  There is some walls blocking the view of the graveyard to the left of the Haunted Mansion queue.  I was surprised they would be doing construction on the Mansion in the peak of the Halloween season, but maybe it will not last that long.

The other news takes us over to Epcot, where the new Duffy Bear was introduced.  Duffy originated as “The Disney Bear” in the US but wasn’t very popular, so they gave him the name ‘Duffy’ and gave him a sailor suit and sold him in Tokyo Disneyland.  He became a big hit and now they are bringing him back to the US to see if he will sell again.  Not only did they bring merchandise, but also a character for you to take pictures with and get an autograph from.  We will have to keep an eye on Duffy to see how popular he becomes.
