Hi Julia!
Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question!
I, like you, am a big fan of scavenger hunts. I can't imagine a more magical place to participate in a scavenger hunt than at Walt Disney World Resort! I actually participated in a fun hunt at Disney Springs with a group of Moms Panelists last fall - I still think we were robbed by the winners (but that's just between you and me, LOL)!
Last December, Walt Disney World Resort guests were able to participate in a fun event called "Stitch's Holiday Gift Hunt" at Disney Springs. The free-to-participate scavenger hunt was for guests of all ages, and involved finding items that were on Stitch's "misplaced" shopping list. Guests would first pick up a location map and gift stickers at one of four locations, then head out to a list of stores to look for a hidden Stitch holding a "planetary present". Once the hidden Stitch was found, guests would place the corresponding sticker on that location on the map. When the map was completed, it could be turned in at one of the pick-up locations for a fun holiday surprise!
While no new scavenger hunts have been planned at this time, the
Disney Parks Blog is the best place to watch for any up-to-date information and announcements. I encourage you to keep an eye on the blog, and also stay tuned to
Walt Disney World Resort on Twitter. Hopefully the folks at Walt Disney World will offer another hunt sometime soon!
In the meantime, there are lots of websites and blogs that have come up with Walt Disney World scavenger hunts of their own! I found several idea on Pinterest and am thinking of planning one for my family for our next visit.
Thanks again for stopping by - have a magical day! - Diane W.
