It culminated with the reveal of “Perry the Platy-bus,” a 27-foot Airstream trailer complete with bill, tail and googly eyes inspired by Phineas’ and Ferb’s pet platypus, Perry. Scores of fans watched the reveal as it streamed live on Disney Store’s 2,000 square foot LED digital display in Times Square.

They need to drive the bus to NC. Me and my kids would love it. I would probably drive a few hours for us to see it.
This looks so fun. Wish I was going to be in the area. I know that NY is the cool place to do stuff like this, but the people in the midwest would love stuff like this too.
