At the D23 Ultimate Disney Fan Event in August 2026, Disney Experiences announced that Dreamfinder and Figment are officially reuniting for a newly reimagined version of EPCOT’s Journey Into Imagination.
🌟 Key Announcement Details

- The Presentation: Disney Experiences Chairman Thomas Mazloum shared the news during the showcase. Host Neil Patrick Harris surprised the crowd dressed as Dreamfinder, holding a Figment plush to deliver the announcement.
