Enjoy holiday fun with Chip and Dale's Christmas Tree Spree in EPCOT!

Did you know that EPCOT's Festival of the Holidays has some added fun for you little ones? OK, let's be honest. If you're like me, you're going to want to do this for yourself too! This year's festival lasts November 18 through December 30, 2018, so be sure to check this out before it's gone!

Chip and Dale's Christmas Tree Spree is a fun, low-cost scavenger hunt through the World Showcase. Chip and Dale are collecting ornaments for their Christmas tree and they need your help! It adds a bit of extra fun as you are exploring the world and those with a keen eye score a cool prize at the end.

To start, simply purchase a map and stickers from select merchandise locations, including Pin Central, Disney Traders and World Traveler at International Gateway. The map costs $6.99 plus tax. Now, for scrapbookers and pack rats like me, this is a great low-cost souvenir on its own, but wait, there's more!

Now for the fun part! Each sticker represents a Chip and Dale ornament that you will find on wreaths in each country of the World Showcase. When you find the wreath, add the sticker to your map. I'm not going to spoil the hunt for anyone, but I am showing one example of a wreath from last year to give you and idea of what you are looking for. When you find the wreath, add the sticker to your map!



Without giving spoilers, there are a few hints to help you on your search:
All the wreaths are located INSIDE. So you will have to duck in and out of the various shops to find them all.
The wreaths do NOT light up. So they may be tough to spot, especially if you are stepping in out of the sun. Give your eyes a few minutes to adjust and be vigilant.
Pro tip: When you find a wreath and add your sticker to your map, don't forget to take a picture of it!! You don't need the "proof" to claim your prize, but they are just so cute, why wouldn't you???

When your map is complete, take it to Disney Traders or World Traveler and exchange it for a festive surprise, courtesy of Chip & Dale! You will get one of 3 prize packs shown in the photo above that contain a set of buttons to commemorate your hunt! You can play again if you would like all 3, just take note that some of them do contain duplicate buttons. 

If you just concentrate on the hunt, it will probably take you an hour or less to complete. But you can do it at your leisure as you explore the World Showcase. It's a fun activity for young and old and a great way to get a low-cost, unique souvenir. I can't wait to try it myself!
