Could Walt Disney World Be Making Changes to Journey Into Imagination with Figment?

There have been rumors swirling for a while about possible changes to the iconic Epcot attraction, Journey Into Imagination with Figment.  With all the other changes going on at Epcot, there is no reason to believe that Figment would be safe from all of them.  The attraction isn’t very popular with the majority of guests, except for the Disney lifers that have a strong adoration for Figment.  It looks like now Walt Disney World is holding a casting call for new actors that seem to potentially further confirm the rumors around the attraction.

According to the casting call, Disney will be looking for male and female comedic actors.  These actors would be a new attraction to play scientific interns. Here is the description of what Disney is looking for directly from the Disney Audition page:
