Almost Wordless Wednesday: August Calendar Cover
August already?! That means in just a week, Colorado Dad and I will be heading to Anaheim for a long weekend to celebrate 75 years of Disney Animation at D23′s Destination D event. For this week’s blog hop theme of “August Calendar Cover”, I thought I’d share one of my favorite moments from a previous Destination D – last year’s celebration of Walt Disney World’s 40th anniversary.
For anyone who visited EPCOT in the 80s, you’ll probably recognize this pair. Yep, that’s Figment and his pal, the Dreamfinder – the stars of the original Journey Into Imagination attraction. Fans have long asked (or maybe it was begged) for Disney to bring the duo back, so when Ron Schneider (the actor who played the DreamFinder character in the parks) and the original Figment puppet stepped out on stage to sing One Little Spark along with Richard Sherman, the crowd pretty much went nuts.
Who knows what kind of surprises await us at this year’s Destination D, but with sessions spanning the entire 75-year history of Disney animated features, I’m sure there will be something great. Can’t wait to see what happens!

Don’t forget to bring your awesome sister something back!
I don’t remember him although Figment we love! Thanks for sharing!
I love Figment ~ Awesome shot. Hope you have a great time @D23.
Awwwww…I miss the good old days of meeting Figment with DreamFinder outside of the pavilion. I still have a photo of them using my head as a rest when I visited for the first time after it opened.
What a great shot!! Oh, I miss seeing Figment and Dreamfinder in the parks!! We were fortunate to ride the very last ride of the original Journey Into Imagination before it closed. What a night! Have a magical trip to D23! I’m looking forward to your pictures. Thanks for sharing and for joining in on the WW blog hop fun!
Can’t wait to hear all about this year’s program. Have a fabulous time!!!
Aww…I miss figment too! Great shot bringing back great memories too. Thanks for sharing.
I remember loving Figment and the Dreamfinder as a kid. Now I get a mildly creepy vibe (at least from Dreamfinder…) – lol.
Have a great time on your D23 trip!
What a nice photo! I remember seeing Dreamfinder and Figment many years ago.
