New Figment Meet & Greet

[rdaky]

My hunch is that a large portion is local APs, which is why I also suspect things will relax soon. May have had a fair number of D23 attendees as well.

Yep. Lots of APs waiting in those lines. And D23. And also cast members. So none of them are spending anything extra just to stand in line to meet Figment.

I assume that there is no Genie+/Lightning Lane option for the Figment M&G? Any chances they'll add it?

Did anyone see how long the waits were today?

Did anyone see how long the waits were today?

The good news is that I didn't see any stories about long waits. The bad news is that all the stories were about Figment tripping as he made it out of the entrance. Twice.

I saw those too. Poor Figgy. I hope the re-evaluate his entrance today, maybe walk slower with a handler in tow?

Honestly I think they got Figment all wrong. It should have been a much smaller character. We loved meeting Figment with Dreamfinder back in the day. They made the new Figment as big and clumsy as Barney. Very odd.

Maybe if Disney could get Peter Dinklage under contract to play the character...otherwise they would have to get a very small person to be a "friend" of Figment. When I worked at the World it was usually a very small petite Asian girl who was a friend of Mickey.

I saw over on X that they added reflective lights or tape to the dreamport as of day 3

Obviously, we'd love to meet Figment... but not one member of my family would be willing to wait 2, 3, or even 5 hours to do so.

I’m assuming waits were long the first day because everyone wanted to be “first”. We haven’t had a new character offering in awhile so people are excited.

Hoping to do the Figment M&G, but not a fan of the long lines.

Why I think this meet and greet became overhyped was simply because I think Epcot is planning some new attraction or new cartoon series with Figment and they wanted to bring back Figment for a new generation of fans. Because the way I see it I've never ever seen so many excited people over a meet and greet with a Disney character as much as I have with Figment. I've seen people get very excited when they meet sports stars and Hollywood celebrities but rarely a Disney character and I can't figure out why they do this? I mean Figment is silent like Black Bolt and only moves his hands and arms for hugs. If Disney had made a talking version of Figment the crowd of people would've gone wild over meeting him. But what I think Figment is mainly there is to promote his anniversary and I can guarantee Epcot will retire him after Christmas or he will be rare to find in Epcot as time goes by

Not trying to be creepy, but I remember seeing your family in these outfits at Epcot. I remember thinking that the jerseys were super cool and I loved the Figment leggings!

We rode imagination 9/14/2023 about noon. Line for Figment looked doable so we hopped in- waited about 30 minutes, as we still had time to kill before our Guardians reservation. He doesn't sign, and there are a lot of adults so it moves pretty quickly.

 

[Hezzy04]

Has anyone been recently? I’d like to know how wait times have been these last few days.

 

[MillauFr]

Only Disney can take a lousy character like Figment and get people to wait in line 5 hours to see them.

 

[revdon64]

Well, we do leave an impression! And no, I'm not creeped out, so you're good.

My unpopular thought is they should have at least 2 Figments for a M&G. If they are in different rooms, how would anyone even know??

Unfortunately the set up of the present meet doesn’t work to accommodate this trick

I love Figment so much but no interest in meeting Figzilla.
