Finding Figment

Figment is back at Epcot, right where he belongs! There have been some questions about finding Figment, so I thought I’d try to answer them to the best of my ability. As I write this I have not yet waited in the line, but I have checked it.

It’s near this 

The Figment meet and greet is located in ImageWorks. That’s part of World Celebration. If you’re still not sure where to go, head in the general direction of The Land Pavilion. If you’re coming from World Showcase, you’ll walk past the upside down waterfall. If you walk towards Journey Into Imagination With Figment, the entrance to ImageWorks is to the left, but not as far to the left as the Disney and Pixar Short Film Festival.

Speaking of Journey Into Imagination With Figment, you do not have to ride to get to the meet and greet. That said, it’s usually a short wait, so you might want to ride so that you can really get in the mood.

The schedule on September 13 

Check the times for Figment’s meet and greet at the beginning of the day. I shared instructions on how to find characters in the My Disney Experience App here. Character meet and greet times can and do change often, my best advice is to check the times first thing in the morning instead of the day before.

Figment comes out of the Dreamport… 

If Figment is not yet out, keep your eyes on the Dreamport to the left of his area. When a character is about to appear, the lights will flash and it will get noisy. All those around you will also turn and many will record with their phones. You’ll know when it’s about to happen.

…and makes his way to his spot

Joy also greets in ImageWorks. When I was there a few days ago she and Figment were both scheduled to come out at the same time, but it looks like they are now staggering them.

How long the line will be is hit or miss. As a general rule of thumb, expect longer waits first thing in the morning and on weekends.

If you or a member of your party collects autographs, know that Figment does not sign. I’ve heard that you can ask for an autograph card with his signature already on it, but I haven’t seen one.

Will the Figment hoopla die down? While I think that it will somewhat, I expect that this will be a popular meet and greet as long as he sticks around. While many are sad that Figment’s reappearance isn’t with Dreamfinder, there is a nod to him in the background of the meet and greet area. That’s better than nothing. And from what I watched, Figment is trying his hardest to make meeting him a memorable experience for all. That’s what makes meeting characters so special!
