Today is the day. The EPCOT International Festival of the Arts kicks off today at EPCOT in Walt Disney World. The festival will run from today, January 14 through February 13, 2022.
There is a lot going on, but the Figment Popcorn Bucket madness is taking center stage! The Popcorn bucket is at PopEats.
5 HOUR WAIT! (UPDATE Now 7 HOUR WAIT as of 12:30)
Update- Now estimated 6.5 hour wait!
It’s not that I don’t love Figment, but I just read that Cast Members are estimating the wait time to be about 6.5 hours to get the Figment Popcorn Bucket at #Epcot today??? pic.twitter.com/5s8l7KFcoS

The line for the Figment popcorn buckets at Epcot is ridiculously long and estimated at about a 5 hour wait from reports. 🙀 Would you wait that long for a popcorn bucket?? #ArtfulEpcot #figment pic.twitter.com/rk9q4Dc12G

Got to get them to flip on eBay!!!
To be fair, we don’t know what’s under the popcorn buckets. It could be other merchandise purchased earlier, but still.

I’m going to keep adding to this as the day goes! The Figment popcorn bucket situation alone is worth updates and may get it’s own article as the day goes on.
