Disney said the updated attraction will restore the original Dreamfinder-Figment pairing, but it gave no concept art or timeline.
- At the Disney Experiences Showcase during D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event on Saturday, The Walt Disney Co. announced a new version of Journey into Imagination at EPCOT, featuring the return of Dreamfinder alongside Figment.
- The original Journey into Imagination opened at EPCOT in 1983 with Dreamfinder and Figment as stars, though the ride underwent multiple iterations; the current version launched in 2002 as Figment has remained a popular park staple.
- Neil Patrick Harris served as master of ceremonies at Anaheim's Honda Center, opening the event with a musical number after a monologue full of Disney-related quips, including a joke about being "48 months away from owning the Lakers."
- Disney has not yet provided specific concept art, a timeline, or further details regarding the updated attraction, though fans have long awaited a return to the ride's original format featuring both characters.
- This year's D23 event emphasized the parks' own intellectual property, contrasting with 2024's focus on new Disney IP, guided by Walt Disney's philosophy: "Disneyland will never be completed if there is enough imagination left in the world.
