Epcot Figment's Journey Into Imagination Videos

Epcot's Journey Into Imagination with Dreamfinder and Figment used to be one of the most popular attractions at Walt Disney World.

For some unknown reason, Disney decided to shut down this awesome attraction. When a public outcry forced them to reinstate the attraction, it was drastically cut down and no longer resembled the original ride at all. More complaints followed, and Disney created yet a third version of Figment's Journey Into Imagination. This version was moderately better than the second version, but still is no comparison to the original Journey Into Imagination.

Original Journey Into Imagination with Dreamfinder and Figment Video:


This video of Journey Into Imagination is edited and is not of high quality. However, it's not terrible, and gives you a good overview of what the original Journey Into Imagination was like.

The Journey Into Imagination videos below are a three part series. It's much longer, but gives you as much detail as you're going to get out of footage from that era.

Modern Figment's Journey Into Imagination:




This version of Figment's Journey Into Imagination isn't totally devoid of entertainment value. After all, you get to see Eric Idle argue with a purple puppet. And since it's so unpopular, it's a wonderful place to escape crowds and Florida heat, though that benefit is lost as soon as you step off the ride and into the Kodak Image Works area.
