Disney World parkgoers are no strangers to long lines but one lengthy queue at Epcot's International Festival of the Arts is surprising even some die-hard fans.
Friday marked the start of the event, which offers Disney-themed chalk art, live entertainment, gourmet food, and more. One of the biggest draws of opening day, however, is a limited-edition popcorn bucket shaped like the beloved purple dragon Figment. He's best known as Epcot's mascot and the star of the Journey Into Imagination ride.
Blog Mickey shared a video of a line forming when the park first opened, and park employees told the Disney Food Blog that the wait was estimated to be approximately six and a half hours at around 10:30 a.m.
The Figment popcorn buckets are only being sold for $25 at one stand, the Pop Eats booth near the entrance of Epcot's World Showcase, at the time of writing.
Collectible popcorn buckets are popular among Disney fans. International parks like Tokyo Disneyland are known for having some of the best and most unique ones, which is why Ebey said she was "pumped" to buy a special one in Florida.

Does this particular plastic popcorn bucket have special features that other consumer popcorn buckets don't have?

So these people paid for a ticket to go to the park and wait 6 hours to buy a $25 plastic bucket?

Okay then.

limited-edition
That explains it.
You out "limited edition" in front of anything Disney and watch the value skyrocket.

I completely forgot that Figment was even a thing that existed, which is ironic, I suppose.

Last time I ever thought about him was when we actually went to Florida when I was like 10 and I got a small Figment plush toy.

A character from the Journey into Imagination ride. The ride has had 3 iterations. The first which was awesome, the second which sucked and the current third version which sucks, but not on the level of the 2nd. People who are buying this are nostalgic over the 1st version of the ride.

A two part history of the ride:
