food IS a theme park
EPCOT has just been a buzz of excitement lately.
EPCOT
Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana will open on October 16th, and it was announced that Moana would join the lineup of characters you can meet at EPCOT. However, that’s not the only new character meet and greet! Figment started greeting guests in the Imagination Pavilion of EPCOT on September 10th, and… we thought it would be fun to ask our readers over on Facebook what THEY thought of the new character experience.
If you’re a Disney fan, chances are you have a favorite character — whether they’re from your favorite classic film or maybe even your favorite ride in the parks!

Some people take their love of Disney characters very seriously (Hi, it’s us, we’re “people.”) and we’ve seen some pretty chaotic moments in Disney World because of it. Remember the Figment popcorn bucket fiasco from the 2022 EPCOT Festival of the Arts? Folks queued up in hours-long lines to snag the little guy — and now Figment is BACK causing chaos again.
We’ve got some HUGE news!
Hey Figment!
Back in 2022, Disney announced that a Figment meet and greet would be coming to Disney World, and then we got an opening timeline back in March. Now the time has finally come, DFB friends; it’s time to MEET FIGMENT!
We’ve met our fair share of characters in Disney World. From random appearances in the parks to surprise visits at the resorts, you never know where you might run into a Disney character!
Hey, Moana!
During a recent visit to EPCOT, we stumbled upon a BUNCH of friendly Disney characters. The entire interaction was such a blur — and a thrill — that we just had to share it. After all, our experience feels all the more special when we get the chance to show all of YOU what kind of surprise Disney magic you may find on your next visit to the parks. Now, come with us!
Meeting favorite characters can be some guests’ favorite part of their Disney vacation.
Chip and Dale!
We’ve got a list of where to find ALL the character meet and greets in Disney World, but sometimes characters surprise us and say hello in unexpected areas. While we were walking around EPCOT today, we noticed that a very popular yet rare princess was greeting guests near the International Gateway!
