I got a 40oz insulated mug in Figment colors

Finally... the taste lab...

I finished this adorable Figment plushie thanks to @thewondercrochet on instagram's dragon pattern and Premier Parfait Chunky yarn in Lilac and Mango as well as Premier Basix Chunky in I want to say Orchid

The redo of Journey into Imagination turned an iconic classic into a ride so terrible it was barely open a year! Let's take a look at how it happened!

When EPCOT Center opened in 1982 at Walt Disney World, the Imagination Pavilion became an instant hit! It perfectly captured the inspirational and aspirational tone of classic epcot while also fully capturing the whimsical and magical feeling of classic Disney rides! But that wasn't "hip" and "trendy" enough so it was gutted and changed completely! But due to issues with sponsors and budgets it was a terrible mess that pleased no one and actively insulted guests to their faces.

there aren't enough animation memes about JII (i found like one other one and it was a crossover with some other stuff) so i thought i would change that.

Since the Figment shoulder plushes (...and basically any Figment merch, really) were completely sold out at Epcot when I went, and he's not on shopDisney anymore either, I resorted to buying one online. I'm pretty sure the one I got is a knockoff (unless there's a variant with his name printed rather than embroidered on the sweater...). He's a little wonky but he's got the spirit lol

I walk into the room and a hush falls over everyone. All eyes are on me. The ladies drop whatever they're holding and begin to gravitate towards me. Once they see my Figment fanny pack, they can't resist.

I hold up my hand, and they stop their clamoring. "Ladies," I say in a soft yet smooth voice. "That's not all." They have no choice but to stare as I pull around my other fanny pack.

The ladies climb all over me. Their boyfriends weep in the background, completely forgotten. All I do is grin.

The Original Journey Into Imagination with Dreamfinder and Figment perfectly captured the best of classic Disney and EPCOT Center charm!

When EPCOT Center opened in 1982 at Walt Disney World, the Imagination Pavilion became a n instant hit! It perfectly captured the inspirational and aspirational tone of classic epcot while also fully capturing the whimsical and magical feeling of classic Disney rides! But this attraction only exists because of a series of projects from famed imagineer Tony Baxter fell apart. Professor Marvel from Discovery Bay plus his original balloon ride from the first pitch of the Land Pavilion were both unbuilt attractions and from those roots Journey into Imagination grew! A true passion project by a legendary creative mind.
