Scavenger Hunts
Stroll around EPCOT on a fun-filled scavenger hunt. Choose from 2 adventures:
- Spike’s Pollen-Nation Exploration: Follow Spike the Bee along his pollination trail, where Spike will “bee” busy collecting nectar and pollinating gardens.
- Egg-Stravaganza Hunt: Embark on a delightful hunt for eye-catching eggs—each resembling a beloved bunny rabbit. This experience is only available for a limited time.
Here’s how to get started:
- Purchase your scavenger hunt map and stickers at select merchandise locations for $9.99 plus tax (available while supplies last).
- Search high and low for Spike or for colorful eggs (depending on the hunt) around EPCOT, then add a sticker to your map after each discovery.
- At the end of your journey, take the map to Disney Traders, Creations Shop or World Traveler and receive a surprise.
