Why not make the Imagination pavilion about Imagineering? That would be such an easy tie-in. Of course include Figment. I still have my Figment doll backpack from the 90s.
There seems to be a suspicious amount of Dreamfinder and Journey into Imagination talk at this D23
I'm afraid your glass is "half full".![]()
Bob Iger said:He’s known and loved by some of Disney’s most ardent fans as the guy who gave the world Figment and Dreamfinder,” Bob said. “We found out just how important these two characters are to people just a few years ago when they disappeared during the renovation of theJourney Into Imagination pavilion. For a while there, anytime I spoke with fans—at Shareholder meetings or anywhere else—I could always count on someone asking where Figment went, what we had done with him, and when we were going to give him back. Well, we’re happy to have him back in the attraction—it’s now called Journey Into Imagination with FIGMENT. So I don’t think he’s going anywhere.”
Tony started on a comic note, as well. “When are we bringing Dreamfinder back?” he quipped, turning to Bob, before explaining some of the keys to his success. “Whenever I think what I want to do next, it’s the child in me looking for the next challenge.”
I think Bob Iger is really confused:

LMAO
Was this part of Bob Iger's introduction of Tony Baxter at the Disney Legends ceremony?
yea. It's the front page article when you go to the official D23 Expo site right now
Yeah I think we're just going to have to agree to disagree involving Dreamfinder. I love the guy and liken him to a Merlin type of wise old man mentor figure. Like everything about him, his design, his clothes, his voice and everything.I guess it's just me...
I have absolutely no interest in seeing Dreamfinder again anywhere. No appeal whatsoever.
Figment....eh...whatever. Him I can deal with.
As for the pavilion...yeah...it's gonna change. To what? I have no clue.
Eh..to each his own. I actually actively dislike him.Yeah I think we're just going to have to agree to disagree involving Dreamfinder. I love the guy and liken him to a Merlin type of wise old man mentor figure. Like everything about him, his design, his clothes, his voice and everything.
Having no clue about what will eventually happen in Imagination, I'm inclined to believe that they just trotted that pair out to stir up the fans and to prey on their nostalgia. Like the orange bird. Yawn.Sure seems like they're really pushing Dreamfinder at D23 though. I'd be more excited if they hadn't done this already a few years ago at the WDW event, but it does make one wonder whether they're planning something...

Yep.Not to be rude but is it really necessary to come into every Dreamfinder thread and say this?
If what I'm hearing is accurate, the ride's closure is not in anticipation that work will begin anytime soon.We'll see what happens. If they're going to close the pavilion in January, will they be starting construction on the new version of the ride immediately? Or are they going to keep it shuttered for a while while they figure out what to do with it? I'm guessing if they start the redo immediately then we may know what they have planned around that time or before as well.
"Wow, this definitely sounds like the actions of a company that prides itself on being Number One in the industry!"If what I'm hearing is accurate, the ride's closure is not in anticipation that work will begin anytime soon.
Supposedly they are taking it offline way early in order to simply not have to worry about keeping it open until work does start...eventually.
