We have HUGE news from EPCOT today!
It was announced yesterday at Destination D23 that the highly anticipated Figment meet and greet would be arriving in EPCOT today, and we’re here to check it out!
You can find the Figment meet and greet inside the Imagination Pavilion where the Vanellope meet and greet used to be.
One of our reporters rushed straight to the pavilion when the park opened and found herself second in line outside of the pavilion. Another reporter headed inside (NOT in line) and found that resort guests who had Early Entry had already lined up inside (since they were able to enter the park 30 minutes early). This was around 9AM, right after the park opened.
We got to see Figment enter through the Dreamport for the very first time and officially kick off the meet and greet! This was around 10AM.
It was so great to welcome him into the park officially for his very first day.

He immediately jumped into his meet-and-greet spot to start saying hello to guests.

Our second reporter, who got there a little later, was outside in the MAJORLY long line that had formed. This was over an hour after the park had opened, and right after Figment officially stepped out.
After 3 hours and 20 minutes (yes, it took that long!), we finally got to meet our favorite purple dragon!
If you’re looking to meet Figment during your vacation, check your My Disney Experience App for the times he’s greeting, and be sure to factor in a decent amount of time for the line. Today, our app shows he’s greeting guests from 10AM to 1:30PM, and then again from 2:30PM to 5PM.
