VIDEOS: Poor Figment Fell Twice Today in EPCOT ðŸ˜
As you can probably imagine, it’s not always easy for Disney Cast Members to play certain Disney characters.
Vampire Mickey!
Whether it’s staying in character during interactions, wearing a hot and unwieldy suit, or a slew of other issues, Cast Members can encounter a number of difficulties while maneuvering around the parks. And, unfortunately, sometimes they do trip and fall…which one character managed to do twice today.
Figment Falls
The new Figment meet-and-greet debuted in EPCOT on September 10th, and just a day later Figment seems to have run into some trouble.

As Figment enters his meet-and-greet area in the Imagination Pavilion, he walks through the “Dreamport.”

@Pinkiiness on X (formerly Twitter) posted a video of Figment walking through the Dreamport, only to fall at the entrance. You can see Cast Members rush to his aid.

Not long after that video was posted, another video displayed Figment falling a SECOND time. This video was posted by @TheFunaticsBlog on Instagram.
This time, the same scenario ensues, with Figment falling in almost the exact same place as before as Cast Members rush over.

Knowing how strongly Disney values the safety of Cast Members, they will surely get to the bottom of why this happened twice today. We hope whoever is “friends with” (Disney-speak for a Cast Member playing a character) Figment is okay!
Note that if you ever see this happen in the parks, make sure you give the Cast Members plenty of space to assist each other. And most importantly — be patient! A fall will likely delay a meet-and-greet experience as Cast Members make sure no one is hurt.
We love you, Figment!
