Hi Emily! Welcome to planDisney!
I'm sure you are getting excited about your upcoming stay at
Disney's Pop Century Resort! Nothing beats staying at a Disney Resorts Collection Hotel when visiting the Most Magical Place on Earth! Between the amenities, recreation activities, and onsite dining locations, Disney Resorts have everything you need during your stay.
My family loves a good scavenger hunt when we come across one. Lucky for us, Walt Disney World offers a variety of them across many of the resorts and the parks. Many of these hunts are available to all Guests at any time of the day, while others start at a specific day and time during the week. Disney's Pop Century Resort has a fun one that takes you around the resort searching for statues and décor. You'll need to swing by the front desk to pick up a map for the scavenger hunt.
With
Disney's Art of Animation Resort just a short walk over the bridge, I recommend stopping by the front desk there and picking up a map to partake in this hunt as well. This one will have you on the lookout for different Disney characters around the resort. Once you complete the challenge, stop back at the front desk to check if you earned a prize. These activities are such a great way to explore the resorts and see what each one has to offer.
In addition to these, some other resorts that are offering scavenger hunts are Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside and French Quarter, Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, Disney's Wilderness Lodge, and Disney Caribbean Beach Resort. Since you are only a Disney Skyliner ride away from Caribbean Beach, this will be a fairly easy one to participate in. But make sure you have your walking shoes on since this scavenger hunt will take you all around this massive resort.
Don't forget about the scavenger hunts offered inside of the parks. Since you are arriving on the first day of the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival,
Remy's Ratatouille Hide & Squeak hunt is starting that day in and around the World Showcase. My daughters have always had the best time with this one, plus you receive a prize at the end of the hunt! Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park has one centered around the Lion King and can be found in Africa. You'll need to stop by one of the gift shops to purchase a playing card.
Emily, I hope this is enough information to help you out during your stay! Remember, each of these activities is subject to change at any time. Have a magical time during your upcoming stay!
See ya real soon!
