Dreamfinder and Figment Take Flight Again at EPCOT
Disney's EPCOT theme park is getting a new addition as Dreamfinder and Figment return to the Imagination pavilion. The announcement was made during the Disney Experiences showcase at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event presented by Visa.
Figment, the lovable purple dragon, has been a staple in EPCOT since 1983 when the first iteration of Journey into Imagination opened. He's become one of the park's most recognizable and enduring icons, representing the identity of EPCOT as a park with his curiosity and playfulness.
Dreamfinder, introduced in the original Journey Into Imagination attraction at EPCOT in 1983, guided guests 'collecting sounds, colors, ideas, anything that sparks the imagination.' He served as both creator, mentor, and friend to Figment, encouraging guests to remain curious. For 15 years, from 1983 to 1998, Dreamfinder was at the center of Journey into Imagination.
'We are taking a new journey into imagination at EPCOT with Dreamfinder and Figment!' Disney Experiences Chairman Thomas Mazloum told the cheering crowd. 'I'm so happy to share this news tonight. We know how important this is to you.'
