- The Egg-stravaganza Scavenger Hunt will return for the Easter season from March 16 through April 1. Guests will have fun hunting high and low for eggs that portray favorite Disney characters. As you find the hidden character-themed eggs in the park, you’ll place the corresponding sticker on a specially themed Egg-stravaganza map in the country where you found the egg. Maps and stickers can be purchased for $5.99, plus tax at Disney Trader, Pin Central, and World Traveler. Once you complete the hunt, you’ll take the map to Disney Traders for a special surprise.
- New for the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival will be Spike’s Pollen Nation Exploration. In this hunt, Disney’s favorite honey bee, Spike, has been pollinating his way around the festival, giving Guests the chance to follow his pollination trail around at Epcot. You’ll pick up a garden map and stickers at Port of Entry and explore and be on the lookout for Spike as he pollinates Epcot’s gardens. In each garden, you’ll have to search for the plant Spike has pollinated, identifiable by Spike himself and a Spike’s Pollen Nation Exploration plant stake. Once you find him, add the corresponding sticker to your map. When done, return your map for a springtime surprise. Spike’s Pollen Nation Exploration can be purchased for $5.99, plus tax at Port of Entry.
