Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit Starts TODAY in EPCOT!
Believe it or not, Disney World has been celebrating Halloween since early August! The festivities include pumpkin decorations, spooky food items, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, and more.
Most of the Halloween celebrations are over in Magic Kingdom, but starting today, you can have some spooky fun that’s exclusive to EPCOT!
Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit
Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit starts today at EPCOT’s Food & Wine Festival! This is a Halloween scavenger hunt that takes you all around the park and ends in a prize.
You just have to pick up a map of the scavenger hunt at Gateway Gifts, Creations Shop, or Port of Entry. Each map is $9.99.
Then, you can start your search for the pumpkins! The back of the map has all of the stickers for each pumpkin, which are all themed to different Disney characters.
The map will give you a general location of the pumpkin you’re looking for. Once you find a pumpkin, place the corresponding sticker on the spot where you found it.
We’re not going to show you where all of the pumpkins are (because where’s the fun in that?!), but we’ll show a few! So, if you don’t want any spoilers at all, now is your time to scroll down until you get to the prizes.
Okay, we found the Minnie pumpkin over in Creations Shop up on a shelf!
This pumpkin is all decked out with Minnie’s signature polka dots.
Then, we found the Groot pumpkin in the bushes near Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind.
You can see how the top of the pumpkin looks like the top of Groot’s head.
Over at Test Track, you can spot the Goofy pumpkin — he’s kind of obvious!
It’s so fun how the pumpkins are painted to look like the characters!
Once you’ve found all of the pumpkins, you can take your completed map to Creations Shop, Disney Traders, or World Traveler to get your prize. The prizes this year are some fun pumpkin character sippers!
You can get Mickey…
…Minnie…
…Pluto…
…Goofy…
…and Stitch!
There is also a new collectible pin available for Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit! You can find it over at Gateway Gifts or Pin Traders.
It shows Pluto dressed as a mummy chasing after a pumpkin. It also has 2023 on it to commemorate this year’s event.
This is a limited release pin and you can buy it for $17.99.
So, go out and have some fun looking for all of these pumpkins! Stay tuned for more Disney World news and updates.
