This is how Disney makes fans like us happy:

The roar from the crowd in the Fantasia ballroom was so loud and went on for so long that many Destination D: Walt Disney World 40th attendees missed out on those great little totally-in-character lines that the Dreamfinder threw away. Like when he snatched the yellow 3D goggles off of Figment's head and said "No, we're not going to see 'Captain E0." Or - when gesturing to a younger member of the audience - the Dreamfinder (obviously referring to that oversized Figment walk-around character which used to do meet-n-greets with WDW Guests a few years back) stated "That fellow seems confused as to why you're not 8 feet-tall."
The Dreamfinder then crossed to the piano and asked Richard Sherman for a favor. Could this Disney Legend please play "One Little Spark" ? And - of course - Richard complied.
Which is how the Dreamfinder was then able to lead all 1200 attendees in singing the "Journey into Imagination" song.
Now I know that people - whenever they're talking about Disney's theme parks, movies and TV shows - often mention dreams & magic. But this one moment at this past weekend's Destination D: Walt Disney World 40th was legitimately magic. The way that those D23 members in the Fantasia ballroom reacted when the Dreamfinder initially appeared live onstage with Figment was like something out of an Elvis concert.
To be honest, I almost felt sorry for ENCORE!, the WDW cast member choir & orchestra that followed Dreamfinder & Figment. Because - as far as the members of the Official Disney Fan Club were concerned - nothing else could possibly top that particular moment in Sunday night's concert.
