food IS a theme park
There is almost always something going on with The Walt Disney Company!

Right now they are working on Disneyland’s 70th anniversary celebrations, major overhauls at Magic Kingdom, and more! It can be a lot to keep to keep up with so we’re doing a round-up of the 3 biggest new stories from this week right here.
The Walt Disney Company’s most recent shareholder meeting had some big news!
The Walt Disney Company
They shared a new sneak peek for the “Lion King” attraction coming in 2026 and even announced “Coco 2” which we couldn’t be more excited about! There were several company updates as well, however, there was one question posed to CEO Bob Iger that left Figment fans excited.
“From head to tail, he’s royal purple pigment; And there –Viola! — you’ve got a Figment!” That’s right, my friends… we’re on the search for FIGMENT at the 2025 EPCOT Festival of the Arts!
Figment Meet and Greet in EPCOT
One of the many family-friendly activities at the Festival is the returning Figment’s Brush with the Masters! This Scavenger Hunt takes participants all around EPCOT’s World Showcase. Yep — Figment’s got his own BOOTH, his own POPCORN BUCKET, and his own SCAVENGER HUNT at the Festival! The thing is, you’ve likely never seen Figment quite like this before… you see, he is HIDING in works of art inside every single World Showcase Pavilion. And if you choose to join in the search, you can receive a PRIZE for your efforts!
There’s a NEW Figment popcorn bucket available starting TODAY at the EPCOT Festival of the Arts!

Remember the huge lines for a Figment popcorn bucket back in 2022? Yeah, it was rough. But luckily, this time, you won’t have to wait in a six-plus hour line to get one! They’re available on Mobile Order, and we’ve already put our order in, so you can, too, if you’re going to EPCOT today!

EPCOT Festival of the Arts
The festival officially kicks off on Friday, January 17th, and we can’t wait to explore everything the festival has to offer. And, of course, eat and drink our way around the food booths! We will be providing FULL coverage of the Festival of the Arts, but if you are just as excited as we are, you can already grab some festival merchandise!
It’s almost time — are you ready? We’re talking about the EPCOT Festival of the Arts, which starts SOON!
2024 Festival of the Arts
The festival will run from January 17th through February 24th and will bring a whole artsy vibe to ALL of EPCOT. There will be lots of unique food served at the festival’s many food booths, a Disney on Broadway concert series, chalk art, art performances, and SO much more. However, you might want to know a little bit more about some of the souvenirs you’ll be able to bring home from the festival, so let’s talk about the most IMPORTANT merchandise of this festival: the art!
The EPCOT International Festival of Arts is returning!

This year, the festival will run from January 17th to February 24th, 2025, and will be jam-packed with food, art, merchandise, and live entertainment offerings! The 2025 festival will feature five new “artful experiences!”
Sometimes Disney makes some decisions that leave many of us scratching our heads.
Magic Kingdom
Remember that octopus drink that Disney World offered for the 50th Anniversary? Yeah, that was…weird. Then there have been some controversies with menu items when Disney removed popular foods and replaced with them something subpar (Sleepy Hollow in Magic Kingdom, we’re looking at you). Sometimes, though, Disney fans are loud enough that we think Disney MUST be paying attention because things do occasionally change after public outcry.
We love Figment and are enjoying all the new representation he is getting in the parks!
Hey Figment!
Besides Journey Into Imagination with Figment (which needs a serious update), we love that Disney recently added a Figment meet-and-greet in the Imagination Pavailion’s ImageWorks! Figment now even has his section at the newly re-opened and re-imagined Ever After store in Disney Springs. Although Figment is quite a lovable fellow, we don’t like to ride his attraction for this awkward reason.
