Summary

Journey Into Imagination opened at EPCOT in 1983 and has been a part of Walt Disney World ever since. As part of the Imagination Pavilion conceived by Walt Disney Imagineer Tony Baxter, Journey Into Imagination took guests aboard a whimsical flight into the imagination, with Dreamfinder and Figment reminding guests that "One Little Spark" (a song written by Richard and Robert Sherman) can lead to an unlimited number of ideas. In this podcast episode, we discuss the history of Journey Into Imagination, including its replacements, Journey Into Your Imagination and (currently) Journey Into Imagination with Figment, along with some speculation as to what might be in store for this attraction's future. This episode includes fun facts and some audio recordings of the attraction. What do you love most about Journey Into Imagination with Figment?

0:00.0	I'm going host, Matthew Krall, and you're listening
0:41.0	to episode 137 of the Imagineer podcast. In today's podcast episode, we're going to be talking
0:48.7	about a beloved attraction over at Epcot, which is Journey Into Imagination with Figment. The Imagination
0:56.6	Pavilion has a long history at the park dating back to 1983, and then this episode, while we're
1:03.8	not going to be talking about the pavilion as a whole and its two attractions, we're going to be
1:08.6	focusing on the main attraction for the pavilion, which is
1:12.2	the ride originally known as Journey Into Imagination, then became Journey Into Your Imagination,
1:19.1	and is now, at the time of this podcast episode, known as Journey Into Imagination with Figment.
1:25.7	We'll discuss the history of this attraction, talk about some
1:29.5	details and fun facts you might not have known before, and come back at the end of the episode
1:34.5	and do a binaural audio recording of the most recent version of this attraction. And at the very
1:41.6	end of the episode, we'll come back and I'll tell you a little bit more about how you can connect with the Imagineer podcast on all your
1:47.6	favorite social media channels and how you can help to inspire and create the
1:52.3	future of this show so grab some headphones pull up your favorite armchair
1:57.8	and enjoy this episode of the Imagineer podcast. One little spark of inspiration is at the heart of all creation.
2:36.7	This simple phrase has captured the hearts of millions of Disney fans around the globe since
2:41.5	1983. It's a philosophy that can be traced back to Walt Disney, who, like the quote
2:47.2	suggests, believed that all creations in the world, at Disney and beyond, begin with a simple concept, a tiny little siege you might say that with the right amount of faith, hard work, and imagination can become something extraordinary.
3:02.1	Combined a couple of Easter eggs for you there. It's also the reason why the attraction that has been the home to this musical
3:08.0	phrase and its lovable characters has been a nostalgic experience for Disney fans everywhere.
3:14.5	While the pavilion features both a ride and a show, today's episode will be devoted primarily
3:20.1	to the main attraction, as we'll discuss the history of the Magic Eye Theater in a future episode.
