I've only been to Disney Land out here once, but my favorite ride here is the Star Trek ride. I vaguely remember we went to a luau too, so I guess we must have gone to the Polynesian Village. Out front of the Journey into Imagination ride there was a guy dressed as "Dreamfinder" (I guess that was his name, according to DisneyWiki). He was holding some sort of molded rubber / plastic Figment that was like a big hand-puppet. But you couldn't "tell" it was a puppet at first because the arm holding Figment was fake (as I discovered with closer inspection). So it seemed to be animatronic, even though he was holding it. I think it even blinked its eyes. After the ride, I bought a stuffed Figment animal, and I remember I was irritated that I couldn't get a molded plastic puppet one like Dreamfinder had, haha. I wished they'd sold something closer to that! It was pretty cool.
