BAY LAKE, Fla. – One little spark of imagination has created some long -- and somewhat expected -- lines during the first day of the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts.
Just one week after teasing a new and colorful Figment popcorn bucket on social media, fans of the character flooded EPCOT on Friday to get one.
The bucket retails for $25 (with a maximum of two per person) and includes rainbow-colored popcorn.
Photos sent to News 6 appear to show long lines of people extending from the PopEats Food Studio to as far as Test Track, located on the other side of the park.
A cast member said they estimated the wait was more than two hours, while others said the line was more than a six-hour wait.

The conversation about the new popcorn bucket grew when fans began noticing some of the buckets were being sold online for more than $200. Some people even began selling bad artwork sketches of the bucket itself for more than $100.
The EPCOT International Festival of the Arts features culinary creations at various food studios around the park, collaborative art projects, a Figment-inspired scavenger hunt and returning this year, the Disney on Broadway Concert Series at the America Gardens Theatre.
