As a cosplayer, the fact he's only meeting for 10 minutes at a time must mean this costume is a torture device.
You know what costume was NOT a torture device? Dreamfinder. Let's make everyone happy and bring him back.
I did fursuiting for about two years, and even in just a PARTIAL, I couldn’t handle having the head on for more than 10 minutes at a time. If I suited at a convention, I would find the cosplay lounge or headless lounge right off the bat. If I was at a non-convention event, I tried to find a safe place to take the head off so I could cool down and HYDRATE, because holy heff, those heads get HOT very very VERY QUICKLY.
And I’d imagine top heavy costumes like Figments have to add extra strain on the actors shoulders, neck, and back, combined with the heat and humidity.
Heat migraines are very much a thing. A very DANGEROUS thing.
@@ocalicreekisn’t kinda funny how he looks like Dan lol
The tourists that day: why are people waiting four hours for this dragon
The figment fan: well it’s called a mascot cult
Now all that’s left is a little bit of imagineering for the imagination pavilion and the grand return of the iconic dreamfinder.
Disney Dan, your endurance is truly god like. There are no celebs or characters that would compel me to do what you do. I'm so grateful that you fulfill my fantasies. ❤
I’m happy for you Dan figment looks so Awesome and you are awesome
I have never seen such a love for a mascot hahah 💕 He’s too cute🐉 Figment is for Disney Adults…nostalgia king! Sorry for all the edits hahhaahjjj but hold up I haven’t been there in 10+ years and y’all got a Starbies now? I love your passion for the art of the costumes!
Well we're talkin about purple and imagination hey Disney Dan can you review the new Barney Walk around costume
5:34 ERIC!!!!!!
I don't understand the Elon Musk hate. All he did was buy Twitter and stopped one sided censoring.
The sheer amount of love Figment gets is so fascinating to me as a West Coast native who'd never even heard of him until a few years ago (especially with the popcorn bucket fiasco of 2022 haha), but it's cool that he was brought back and I'm happy for everyone there that was super excited to see him again! He clearly means a lot to so many, and I love when characters are able to do that for people. That being said, the line is absolute insanity so fingers crossed it won't be as long in the future 😅
The crazy thing is that they cut off the line at 5 hours
I’ve noticed that figment is a little more popular than Mickey, but then again, that’s an understatement. But all that aside, I’ve always loved figment!
If Disney did this story RIGHT (read: The comics and Dreamcatcher lore) they could create a HUGE franchise. They seem to struggle adapting attractions to films, but I think Figment is like Mickey, in that his origins are not well-known, but he's a beloved character people wait in Duffy lines to greet. Seems ripe for a film.
His Popcorn Bucket sold like crazy and the line to meet him was longer than most of the rides in the park. That’s the power of Figment for ya, folks. That said, HOLY CRAP THAT COSTUME IS MAGNIFICENT!!
His popcorn buckets sold even crazier cause of the resell value.
@@CameronJP EXACTLY! Peeps love this little purple dragon! Heck, if I could book a flight down to Florida I would just so I could give this guy a hug!
"there's no profit to be made here, there's only love and imagination to be had" Disney would never
I'm going to Disney with my parents for the first time in 17 years this November, and Figment was a huge part of my childhood visits! I'm so glad to see him get the love he deserves!
It would have been something if they surprised everybody if Dreamfinder showed up unannounced to greet guests along with Figment that day.
Can’t believe it took them so long for him to return!
I wish is Oswald the lucky rabbit come black 😔
@@JeremyHidalgo-gg3is He is a walkaround :) just not at WDW, he’s at DCA, Paris, Hong Kong, and Tokyo (Rarely)
The pure happiness when Dan Finally got to hug Figment. Im so proud of you both :D
I didn’t even know the Dream Port Tunnel lights still worked! Neat to see them on again for this very special occasion. 💜
Dan being so happy to see figment is AMAZING 🤩
The sheer amount of love Dan has for Figment is 100% wholesome. I love every second of it.
As a person who’s worked customer service, that poor cast member at the ride queue who responded to it being crazy outside with an emphatic “Yeah.” Man, I felt that in my soul, buddy.
I appreciate the super subtle Elon hate 😂 I agree
Love the recent resurgence of Figment's popularity in recent years, spurred on no doubt from the emphasis on classic EPCOT nostalgia and videos from you (Dan), Defunctland, and Expedition Theme Park covering the original attraction.
As a lover of dragons since my youth, he was always an enigma as Imagination was the only ride in Epcot I didn't get to ride when I was young and was sure that it would be at the top of my list to ride when I went back last year. He's childlike, he's cartooney, he's magic, he's purple (my favorite color).
Aww u should have worn your Dreamfinder costume
Whooo! Figment!!!
I’ll bet he was glad to see you! As he might’ve even KNOWN about you!
I saw you in someone's stream, and hearing you scream with joy was hilarious and amazing! So happy you got to meet your hero!
6:56
Whoo! The crowd was so HYPED UP and I LOVE IT! We were all so happy to see Figment getting the attention he DESERVES!
Props to the cast members that helped out with Figment's first day back in Epcot. Those lines looked mighty long!
I would NEVER have the patience to wait 5+ hours to take a photo with a sweaty guy in a costume.
I mean, I know people who would, but I wouldn't.
i wish his proportions were a little bit better, but overall this is such a great and necessary addition to epcot! fixing the ride next?… maybe…
I met Figment back in 2008, I remember not knowing who he was but being fascinated by the idea of a character that’s just original to one of the Parks. He didn’t have a long line or big hype, I didn’t see a ton of merch either, he was just there and we could walk out without waiting. My younger sister absolutely hated him bc she didn’t know who he was, and she thought he was “lazy” because he didn’t sign autographs but had a stamp instead of using a pen - she still resents him to this day and I like to send her Figment news about how much people love him now and she gets livid about it 😂 I’m happy he’s getting lots of love lately 💜
I was kinda hoping they would bring back the older costume from the 2000s.
Maybe that costume doesn’t exist anymore or it’s falling apart so that’s why they did a new one.
It was said in the video that the original costume was genuinely hazardous to the cast members wearing it, so the change is certainly welcomed.
Seeing Dan so genuinely hyped for Figment is so wholesome 😊
I knew this video was coming. Outside for his love of the character I could here Dan in half of the videos online
Haha this is why I love the figment fandom. Epcot people are my favorite niche of Disney fans by far (but maybe I’m a little biased)
Being the next person in line when he goes on lunch break has got to be brutal
It says a lot that the Figment meet and greet had a 5 hour queue while the ride had a 5 minute queue
It was an amazing meet and greet experience! You captured it perfectly! So cool
I can't believe you didn't get a "fast pass" considering you were in on the announcement!! 📣
😐People waited 5 hours to meet....Figment. But not just Figment, a reimangined unimpressed version of Figment. 😂
Thanks for bringing us along. I’ll be there later this week. I am not sure how long I’m willing to wait but excited just to see him. So happy that you were there.
I love how happy Dan is when he got to hug Figment it made me smile
They should have retheme the entrance tunnel back to the OG rainbow tunnel in the imagination pavilion. Feels kind of lazy that they just left the Wreck It Ralph internet link tunnel
Dan truly is the Number 1 Figment Fan 💜💛 So happy you could meet him ❤ He looks great ❤
If you go to Disney enough you will inevitably "Just happen to be at" every important moment
Now picture how long the lines would be if they had a ride that was worth going on. Really shocked they don’t land a sponsor
Disney Dan's energy is infectious.
For this EPCOT Center fan the picture is incomplete without Dreamfinder. Like many I didn't like the Imagination Institute monstrosity of a ride but here's the hot take: I didn't think adding Figment to the revised ride was an improvement, and I really don't see how this is any better. What happened to this company? Creatively bankrupt. Good for you, Dan, for your Dreamfinder cosplay, but Disney didn't get the message, and this display of fan-boy fawning only praises them for getting it wrong again.
Dan meeting Figment is the mood boost we needed today
We were directly right behind you in line. I had to add and check out your channel. Enjoying all your content. Great video!
HA, I saw someone else’s post about this m&g yesterday… and I could have SWORN I heard your excited voice. Guess I heard right!
You are like the Dreamfinder found a new human host, haha. I kinda love that idea. 😊
I have a feeling that with all the love that Figment is having, I feel like the Dreamfinder might be coming back as well.
So glad Figment is finally back!
Meeting you and figment on the same day was just magical.
We love figment!!!
Anyone else start singing “NO CLOUDS ALLOWED IN THE SKY” at 7:53 😂
I've heard that there's a movie about Figment the Dragon produced by Seth Rogen with Rob McElhenney being the director of the movie. So far we haven't heard anything about it since 2022.
💗💗💖💘💝💞💕💓
Figment looking a little rough 😂
The #Figmentsweep is real
If theyre looking out of the red stripe i cannot imagine how that performers neck is craned at all times. No wonder they had to keep taking breaks
I teared up a little seeing you finally meet the best lil dragon!!
i was waiting for your video and it it brought me so much joy seeing how genuinely happy you were!
I love how Dan said FIGMENT his arms were like he was turning super Dan mode
5 hours??? For budget Walmart Figment?? Not Disney Dan. More like the Disney Dolt.
A great honor coming from Poppa Squat. Lmao
Imagination
So amazingly cool.... best thing ever
Dan! I’m so happy you got to reunite with your son!!!l 🎉❤😀
For clarification, didn’t you wait technically from 10 something not 8 something since you rode the ride and got to see him first enter and he didn’t enter until 10? Did I miss something? Thanks! Love your videos!
What happened to that other walk around Figment? I'm so confused. ETA: okay you answered that, ty!
The screams of glee at the top are filling my serotonin bucket 🌈
Yay the great dragon is here!❤
10 minutes? as a former cast member , pro mascot, and costume designer, you weak! Did 90minutes outdoors this weekend. Looks like vision is red neck band. also F autographs
i'd rather be wearing a dragon costume has a job the work at a gas station
Did you borrow Jen Trackers hat? 😅 I knew that ceiling looked familiar in the vlog. 😂😉
Sooo cool. I didn't even know this was his return!!
I absolutely loooove figment another fav besides stitch!
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Warmed my heart to see all the Figment hype and especially when Dan hugged Figment.
If the eyeline is in the red band on his sweater, that head piece is a heavy helmet. That maybe why they have to take breaks more often. It also looks kinda thin, like there is no room for cooling but I don't know...only Disney knows, but kudos to more breaks for cast members.
I'm so happy that you finally got to meet Figment, Dan! I can't wait to meet Figment at Epcot next year!
Why didn’t you use International Gateway?
Figment has finally came to you! What a happy day!
It’s 9/11 day😊
Go Go Go Dan you did it 😂😂😂😂
Disney: We will give you the bare minimum and you will LIKE IT.
What song is playing at 6:20 in the video I have heard that song before but I don’t know what it’s called anyone know?
I can’t believe that I am this early 😮
I felt that way when Toys R Us came back and Geoffrey appeared.
I’ve waited 52 weeks for this dragon 🐉 to meet and greet guests at Epcot!
We ❤ you Dan 😊😊😊
The amount of will power people have to do this. I would be passed out
Welcome Home Figment!
I was totally at Disney the same time as Dan but was not in the right park on the right day
I'm glad you got to see him so that I can see him cuz I don't think I'd stand in that line lol
I associate purple and yellow with wario and waluigi
ill meet figment in 2025 at this rate LOL
always fun when dan uploads
The brief snippet of Twin Peaks theme music 👏
Wonder when we’ll get a Richard Nixon meet and greet
Everyone was actually excited for this meet and greet
I saw figment on the the umbrellas that passed
Dan calls everything Jesus.
