Olaf’s Holiday Tradition Expedition Scavenger Hunt
Go on a quest to find holiday traditions that Olaf has gathered—and lost—around World Showcase in EPCOT.
Here’s how it works:
- First, purchase your map and stickers for $11.99 plus tax from select merchandise locations, including Creations Shop and World Traveler.
- Using the stickers on your map, mark the “tradition” that Olaf has found in each Pavilion around World Showcase.
- At the end of your adventure—even if you don’t find all of the holiday traditions—you can bring your map to Disney Traders, Creations Shop or World Traveler and redeem your map for a gift worth melting for!
Game board valid for redemption November 28 through December 30, 2025, or while surprise supplies last.
