Disney Memories #4

In this series, we'll highlight some of our memories of Disney past. We hope you enjoy reliving old attractions, shows, and experiences with us!

With the rumors going around about the closing and refurb of the Imagination Pavilion, we thought we would take a look back at an old favorite duo.

Meeting Dreamfinder and Figment!

The original Journey into Imagination attraction opened in 1983 and introduced a duo that quickly touched the hearts of many, Dreamfinder and Figment.  The original attraction revolved around dreams and imagination, taking riders through different rooms revolving around art, literature, performing arts, and science. Courtney and her brother were lucky to get to meet the lovable duo back when they did meet and greets in the pavilion!

Unfortunately, the attraction was closed in 1998, reopening a year later without the loved duo. Figment could still be found in a few cameos, however, his role was greatly diminished. The attraction closed again in 2001, later reopening in 2002 with Figment having a larger role, but still without Dreamfinder. 

It's hard to say what will happen with the attraction if the refurbishment rumors are true. But we can only hope that our lovable Figment is still there.

 "two tiny wings, eyes big and yellow, horns of a steer, but a lovable fellow! From head to tail, he's royal purple pigment, and there, voilà! You've got a Figment!"

What memories do you have of the original attraction? Did you ever get to meet Dreamfinder and Figment? Share below!
