  • The ride itself, while enjoyable, isn't considered 'anything special' by one reviewer beyond its charm.

Very fun attraction and interactive experience. The shop at the exit is tiny, but has lots of figment merchandise. The ride queue isn’t anything special, and neither is the ride, but it is very enjoyable. The interactive experiences at the end are fun, but sometimes don’t work. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a nice break from the crowds. (Wait times for the ride are also usually low)

A nice pavilion in Epcot with a couple attractions. Home to the Journey into the Imagination with Figment ride and the Pixar Short Film Festival, both of which are very fun, don’t have waits, and are a nice break from the heat. There is also usually a character to meet within the pavilion.
