One Little Spark...
Because of him, Small World will never be the same for me ever again. After seeing this, I can't help but sing One Little Spark under my breath during the ride now.

I have pictures at home of both Belle and Tiana there at the same time. Interesting that this is a training location (they were great, btw!).
In regards to the middle screen not working, It was working in Nov. 2014 but not working when I went in March 2015. I never get to go often but this "year" has been an anomaly for me and it's interesting to see what things get fixed and broken between visits. I'm going again on Thursday and will get to tally these things up again.

I think that if they put Dreamfinder back into the Imagination ride they will opt for a younger Dreamfinder and a younger voice because the character is younger in the comics now. If they did recast Figment, I'd like to see someone come in who could recreate the voice that Billy Barty gave Figment...much more charming than Dave Goelz in my opinion, not to impugn his voice...but I just like Billy Barty much better.

After seeing Inside Out, it made me think that it would be good inspiration for an Imagination Pavilion overlay.
The movie teaches us about feelings and emotions and it *explores* HOW we feel. So, from that perspective, it fits with EPCOTs intent and mission, no?

Agreed. As long as it was tastefully done. I'd start with an extreme power wash of the exterior.

Here was my concept of what they could do to overlay it for Cranium Command..

Here's what I think: Dreamfinder will eventually return to the pavilion. The ride will be refurbished. Inside Out replaces Captain EO. Not sure what'll happen to the ImageWorks.

Years. They've used it as an unannounced training location off-and-on for at least 5 years

I agree with you that entertainment shouldn't be pulling princesses into FW.
However.....
Its simply every once in awhile and happens randomly in a location one is not expected to find these people.
Yes, it breaks the theme.... alas all the training sets are in places you wouldn't expect to find them. Otherwise they'd get mobbed. Its one of four locations at Epcot that I know training goes on at and is the only one in FW.
I see the World Showplace and IG utilized much more often.

Wasn't the former Characters on Holiday also used for Training?

That bus is long sold and gone.
That was scheduled shift and wasn't training. I miss it; I think it was a great way to have the characters at Epcot.

Characters not specific to a pavilion or Epcot-themed should not be in FW, except in the entry plaza. Period. Training or not, it's not good. Imagination has its own specific characters and story, as truncated and screwed up as it is. Those characters can be there. NOT Princesses. They just have plenty of other places to train. They don't need to be in FW. Bigger issue is this started because someone who was ignorant of the rule and it stuck, and now no one knows any better. That needs to be corrected. They can train in WS as much as they want.

You know in the 80's even when the Characters were shoehorned into Epcot. Figment & Dreamfinder were still big..Take a look at this postcard found on Google and look who's standing proudly RIGHT IN FRONT!
