It’s the first day of the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, and we’ve already been hustling (and it’s not even noon!).
Did you SEE the line for Figment?
So far, the hot news is that there’s a ridiculously long line to purchase the new Figment popcorn bucket that was announced a few days ago. When we arrived this morning, the line quickly started forming, and while we had to wait over an hour, the line has been predicted to be over SIX HOURS LONG now. And unfortunately, as it is with most limited-release Disney merchandise, the resellers are already taking advantage.
Before most guests have even made their way through the line, we have already spotted the Figment popcorn bucket listed on eBay. He’s only $25 in the park, but we’re already seeing people post him for ten times that amount online.

Just look at those ridiculous prices, and all for a popcorn bucket. Every listing that we’ve seen already has multiple bids. At the time of publishing, one of them had 55 bids and was sitting at $270.

Ebay resellers and the like have caused problems with merchandise in the past. Because of this and supply issues, we’ve seen many purchase limits added to popular items recently. Currently, guests are only allowed to buy 2 Figment popcorn buckets each.
There’s a purchase limit on Figment!
We definitely understand that guests would want to get their hands on this bucket (he’s stinkin’ adorable), but it’s definitely a hard pill to swallow that the prices are already so high on eBay. Hundreds of dollars? YIKES.
UPDATE: As an added bonus, a new option has joined the list on eBay. This badly-drawn sketch of the Figment popcorn bucket is currently selling for $17.50. We hope that the people who bid on this one realize that it’s not actually the bucket. But hey, it benefits charity!

ABSOLUTE INSANITY! More money than brains. No wonder Chapek keeps raising prices. “If you charge it, they will pay”
We spent day two of FARTS watching several pass holders who came into the park with their whole family just to wait in a 4-6 hour line for these Figment popcorn buckets only to take their two per person and head straight out of the park. It was a shame because there is only one place in the park to get them and we overheard many parents explaining to their kids how they’d have to choose which line they wanted to stand in, ones for rides or for the bucket. Disney is for everyone, but this whole situation kind of tainted the magic, especially for the little kids we witnessed.
