==Fun Facts and Trivia==
* Initially, there were concerns that Magic Journeys would not be ready for opening day. As a backup plan, Disney created the 70 second film "Dreamfinder Run" which would have been used to introduce clips of the unfinished Magic Journeys. Starring Ron Schneider and directed by Mike Jittlov, Dreamfinder Run was never shown to guests, as Magic Journeys opened on time<ref> https://www.mouseplanet.com/8217/More_Disney_Films_Youll_Probably_Never_See </ref>.
* Although Dreamfinder Run was never released, it can be seen in Martin's video about the original ImageWorks (http://vimeo.com/6976422).
* In the early years of the pavilion, guests could see a Figment topiary in the Magic Garden (which was located just outside of the pavilion). Figment would spin on a turntable there<ref name= "lost"> http://www.lostepcot.com/imagination.html </ref>, the topiary was removed in the mid 2000s.
* From 1982 until 1998 Dreamfinder would walk around outside of the pavilion with Figment resting on his shoulder<ref name= "lost"/>.
* Following Figment's return to the attraction in 2002, a large walk around Figment could be found outside of the pavilion<Ref> http://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/figment-meet-and-greet-gone.289178/ </ref>, however he has since been retiredstopped meeting guests in 2008 <ref>http://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/figment-meet-and-greet-gone.289178/ </ref>.
