Disney’s Art of Animation Resort Loungefly Minnie Ear Headband – $39.99
The headband is a magenta pink color.
The bow is also magenta pink with glitter. The logo fro Disney’s Art of Animation Resort is in the middle of the bow.
The ears are white. On one ear, you can see our friends Nemo, Dory, and Sebastian surrounded by seashells and leaves.
On the other, we can see Simba, Crush, and Ariel.
And there are even more characters on the back, including Timon, Rafiki holding cub Simba, Pumbaa, Flounder, and Hank from “Finding Dory.”

And if allllll of that Figment Popcorn Bucket fanfare wasn’t enough, we just discovered a hidden secret about the ultra-popular purple dragon that has us obsessing over him again!
Figment Popcorn Bucket
As fans of old-school EPCOT may know, Dreamfinder is a character that was featured in the original version of Journey Into Imagination, which ran from 1982 to 1998. One of the characteristics for which Dreamfinder was known was his impressive mustache and all-around glorious facial hair.
But even though he’s gone from the attraction, it turns out there’s a hidden Dreamfinder reference that’s right under our noses! Or, Figment’s nose, to be more exact.
Disney Imagineer Zach Riddley recently pointed out that the Figment Popcorn Bucket has a hidden nod to Dreamfinder…if you know how to look for it!
Figment says ‘hello!’
To spot the Dreamfinder Easter Egg, take the popcorn bucket into a dark room and shine a flashlight underneath the base. And voilà, suddenly Figment will appear with Dreamfinder’s mustache!
Figment Repping Dreamfinder’s Mustache!
Just look at that fabulously styled facial hair!
Dreamfinder, Is That You??
So what do you think, does this EPCOT Easter Egg make that six-hour wait for the Figment Popcorn Bucket all worth it?? We’ll continue to keep an eye out for any more developments to the epic saga, so stay tuned to DFB for all the latest updates!
