This year’s festival has a new and exciting activity that comes with that Disney magic flare at stops at all the pavilions like the France Pavilion, Germany Pavilion, of course the Norway Pavilion, and etc.!
Olaf’s Holiday Tradition Expedition
Go on a festive quest around World Showcase hunting for holiday traditions that Frozen’s most loveable snowman has gathered—and lost—along the way!
This holiday season, Olaf can be spotted sledding all around World Showcase, collecting new and interesting holiday traditions to share with Anna and Elsa. Unfortunately, he’s had a bit of a bumpy ride… and has misplaced some traditions during his journey.
To help him get back on track, simply purchase your Scavenger Hunt map and stickers ($7.99) at participating locations, including Disney Traders, Mouse Gear, World Traveler and Port of Entry. You can also find them at Stroller Rental locations at the Main Entrance and at International Gateway, as well as the merchandise cart in the Canada Pavilion.
To play, search for Olaf in each pavilion, then match the tradition on his sleigh to the location on your sticker map. Once you have found all of the traditions, visit Disney Traders, Mouse Gear or World Traveler to redeem your map for a gift worth melting for (while supplies last).
