$11.99 for Scavenger Hunt (yikes; I think AP and DVC discounts can be applied). Prizes are "bento boxes" (no compartments inside -- one big open space) - 4 styles to choose from. Haven't seen anything about the Pumpkin Pursuit yet.

The skewered beef was by far the best thing I've had today. Delicious and a large portion. Also the pizza thing in Italy was great.

We haven't tried anything in France yet. But the new beers in Austria, Germany, America and for a weird one the mojito blonde ale at the fry basket have all been fantastic.

It was surprisingly delicious. Blonde ale with a slight mint taste. I wish I could find it at home.

Pluto's Pumpkin Pursuit prizes are mini corn hole games with characters in Halloween costumes. By mini, I mean fit in the palm of your hand mini. Believe these were also the prizes for a recent F&G festival scavenger hunt but obviously themed differently. Photo from WDWNT.
