EPCOT is getting ready for Figment meet and greet now!

Take a look at the how Disney World is getting ready for fan favorite Figment coming to EPCOT.

Figment

Figment is a small purple dragon that is a figment of everyone’s imagination. On March 5, 1983, the brand new attraction, “Journey Into the Imagination” opened at FutureWorld in Epcot. It introduced and featured both Figment and the Dreamfinder. 

Figment has also appeared in a series of Epcot educational media short videos for schools and in two Marvel Comics’ Disney Kingdoms brand comic book series. These series have recently become popular once again. You can learn more about Figment HERE.

Figment Meet

Previously guests could meet Figment, our favorite little spark. However, he has not greeted guests for many years. Then , last year, we announced HERE that Figment would be once again greeting guests.

And although Figment hasn’t had a meet for a long time, his cult-like following hasn’t slowed down. Just take a look at how popular the Figment popcorn buckets have been during EPCOT’s Festival of the Arts.

Progress

We love the many opportunities to interact with our favorite characters at the Disney Parks. It will be great to once again be able to see Figment. And now, Disney has filed a permit for the “installation of scenic items” at 1990 Avenue of the Stars which is at EPCOT’s Imagination Pavilion.

As of now, we don’t have an exact date for Figment returning. Disney has stated that he will return this year in the summer. With the summer ending next month, we’re hoping he will be here soon!
