PHOTOS: Day 2 of the Disney World Figment Popcorn Bucket Saga Continues…

When Disney World first announced that a Figment Popcorn Bucket was coming to the EPCOT Festival of the Arts, we knew it would be popular. However, we don’t think we knew the half of it!

Figment Popcorn Bucket

Because that popcorn bucket debuted yesterday with the festival, and guests were standing in a LONG line waiting HOURS to get their hands on a little Figgy of their own. HOURS, folks. And that doesn’t even count the people who were just in line trying to get a grilled cheese (seriously, why did Disney decide to put the popcorn bucket at a food booth?).

There was SO much drama over the Figment Popcorn Bucket yesterday that eBay listings turned up online selling it for HUNDREDS of dollars. And one Disney fan put up a bad sketch of the popcorn bucket on eBay to raise money for charity (and people bid BIG bucks to help out Habitat for Humanity). It was WILD, y’all.

Well, today, the Figment hype train continues. Because when we got to EPCOT this morning, there was a massive crowd of people at rope drop waiting for — you guessed it — to get in line for the Figment Popcorn Bucket. LOOK at this crowd headed towards Pop Eats!

The rope drop crowd

That is a LOT of people wanting to get their hands on Figment. We’ll have to say that the Early Theme Park Entry folks have a jump on the popcorn bucket, though, since they did get to enter the park 30 minutes before everyone else. So here’s a tip — if you want to get a better shot at grabbing the bucket with shorter lines, you’ll want to stay at a Disney World hotel.

The line is already long!

Most interesting, though, is that the Pop Eats! booth, where Figment is being sold, is currently out of the rainbow popcorn he comes with. So if you actually wanted the popcorn, too, you’re out of luck. But we don’t think these guests are standing in line for popcorn anyway — they just want to get their hands on Figgy!

Crowds for Figment!

We’ll continue to keep an eye on the Figment Popcorn Bucket situation at EPCOT, so stay tuned for updates!
