It's January and that means Epcot's International Festival of the Arts--which really looks more like Epcot's Annual Figment Festival. Figment is everywhere--except in a well-designed attraction. Still, it is the most popular non IP Disney character in any North American Park (Duffy holds reign in Asia) and like the original attraction, it represents creativity and the arts--and that's what's always been part of this festival. Join us as we visit Epcot and experience the food, the art, the entertainment, and the retail of this annual tradition now in its 8th year. We'll look at not only why this event is so centered on a purple dragon, but how the attraction itself could better align with the festival itself.
PLEASE NOTE: I experienced some kind of sound challenge at around 22 minutes. Spent an hour trying to address it, but you may need to adjust the volume. My sincere apologies
