There are so many incredible Disney characters, and one that sometimes is more behind the scenes but still lovable and amazing is Figment. If you ask many people who their favorite is, many will pick this adorable purple dragon created for EPCOT.

 

Figment always reminds us to use our imaginations, and he was introduced to EPCOT with Journey into ImaginationHe shows you how to use your senses and to be creative.

Popcorn buckets are collector’s items at Walt Disney World. Disney Parks Tiktok gave us a little teaser about a new bucket. You can see in the video, she says, “I know something you don’t, I know something you will never know,” while displaying the Figment popcorn bucket behind her.

 

The video is also captioned with “When we find out about the new #popcorn bucket before it launches ? Jan. 14 #Epcot #FestivalOfTheArts ? (2 per guest) #Disney #DisneyWorld #Figment”

Figment fans at EPCOT can’t miss this photo op: a guest in a Figment shirt beams beside the beloved purple dragon himself, with a vibrant themed bag nearby—clearly excited for the chance to snag the famous Figment Popcorn Bucket.

You can see it is adorable and will be a popular item to purchase. Walt Disney World has been limiting how many things each Guest can buy on certain items. That is to make sure that as many people can get their favorite merch as possible.  That is also to make sure that people don’t buy up the entire collection and then resell it for a higher value. You can see limit signs all over the Walt Disney World property.

 

When you get your popcorn bucket, you can then go ride Journey Into Imagination With Figment. This ride opened on October 1st, 1982. Here is how it is explained on the Walt Disney World website:
