Disney Reunites Dreamfinder and Figment in EPCOT Imagination Reimagining

The move restores a core piece of EPCOT history as Walt Disney Imagineering says design work is still in early conceptual stages and timing is unreleased.

Overview

  • Disney announced the top-to-bottom reimagining of the Imagination Pavilion and the return of Dreamfinder during the closing moments of the Disney Experiences showcase at D23 on Sunday.
  • Company executives said Figment will remain at EPCOT and be reunited with his original creator Dreamfinder as part of the planned overhaul.
  • Actor Neil Patrick Harris appeared onstage dressed as Dreamfinder holding a Figment plush as part of the live reveal.
  • Walt Disney Imagineering describes the project as being in early “Blue Sky” conceptual design and has not released concept art, construction dates, closure plans, or an opening timeline.
  • The announcement responds to decades of fan campaigns and Figment’s recent merchandising and festival prominence, and it signals a careful, legacy-focused approach within EPCOT’s broader multi‑year refresh.
