For me, there is a tie for first place: Figment, Mickey, and the Dreamfinder! Second would have to be Donald. Third, hmmmm... everybody else.

I should add to my previous message that in 2000, I spent 15 days in WDW...the first half with my parents & the second half alone. It was absolutely wonderful to take some park tours later in my vacation! I'd highly recommend it. There is SO MUCH to do and so many people to do it with that...

I've gone to WDW alone on two occasions, both for birthdays (my 22nd & 23rd) in 2001 & 2002 for a week each time. Going alone is a blast! You have to be the kind of person who can strike up a conversation with strangers (which is a great way to share the magic, imho!). Going alone has 2...

In regards to Figment his his scarier look in the conception artwork, I think it's pretty clear that like most Disney characters Figment's look has evolved a bit over the years (hey, we all put on a few pounds and round out a little over time=) I remember purchasing a plush Figment hand...

The explanation that I was told in regards to the change was that JII was not changed due to a lack of riders or even funding (although perhaps deep down that was the case). The explanation that I was told was that JII was rehabed due to the contract which required Disney to update the ride, to...

I may be wrong but isn't there a copyright issue concerning King Louie? I think I remember reading (and I'm trying to find the source) that Disney has resorted to calling him something like King Lenny (as in the House of Mouse) to avoid whoever owns the name for "Louie"

Between what I remember from asking the question on a tour and some educated guesses, I think that Figment is owned by Disney but contractually Kodak gets to decide when and if he is used (ditto with the Dreamfinder) since they are the sponsors of the pavillion. I don't exactly know if they...

I did a quick search for Tony Baxter, Senior Vice President of Concept Development for Walt Disney Imagineering, and it appears that Figment would be a product of Walt Disney Imagineering. Check out this 1995 interview with Mr. Baxter http://pizarro.net/didier/_private/interviu/baxter.html...

When I took a tour of the parks, I believe it was the Undiscovered Futureworld tour, I was told that while Disney created & owns Figment and the Dreamfinder it is in the contract with Kodak that the sponsor gets to decide how, and if, Figment & Dreamfinder are used.

I love the version 3.0, the Journey into Imagination with Figment. Is it the original? Absolutely not...that will forever be my absolute favorite Disney attraction. But it is Figment and it's pretty darn good if not the most awesome thing I've ever seen (see version 1.0 for that). The...

This topic is always a hard one for me but my absolute favorite Disney attraction of all time was the original Journey into Imagination. I also love the Haunted Mansion, the Pirates of the Caribbean, the American Adventure, the Hall of Presidents, the Kilamanjaro Safaris, the Carosuel of...

I love the Leave a Legacy tiles and I own three (1 photo and two birthday tiles). I'm usually very critical of attempts to change Epcot (re: my obession with Figment, my love of Horizons, my wish that the World of Motion still existed) basically I tend to be a purist but in this case, I like...

Figment was always my favorite Disney character and I'll admit, up front, that to me...the original will ALWAYS be the best. That being said, I REALLY enjoy the new version. Like most people, I HATED Journey into Your Imagination. It was an insult. The Journey into Imagination with...

I think that WDW needs to leave things like Snow White and the Jungle Cruise alone. I love them both. it was a shame that they gutted Mr. Toad! Instead of destroying the classics, they need to create new. Of course I have no idea of the available expansion space in MK, but well...I can...

Before anything else, I ride the Journey into Imagination.
