Hey- I'll be at POP the last few days of your trip. Not sure I'll be around much -we are so busy while we are here. I know I'll be spending the evening on 8/6 at the resort - we will be doing a scavenger hunt. DH and I area splitting up - each of us gets one kids. Should be a blast.

 

[Faith09]

Is the scavenger hunt located at Pop?

 

[MelanieC]

Yeah - I made it myself. I can post it here tomorrow. I have it at work.

Holy Cow That ought to take some time to do. Where did you come up with this list? I looks like a lot of fun. We'll be there in July. I'm printing this out for DD9 and DS11. Thanks

When I first created it, we were arriving early afternoon and I wanted something fun to do that would really allow you to see the resort. As many times as we go, we never really have time to see the resort (really explore). I had heard about people doing scavenger hunts........so I did a search on the POP and went to websites (and probably the FAQ in this thread) and pulled things from different tidbits and info I had gathered.

You could shorten it to save time, or make it appropriate for your age group. DH and I are going to split with each of our kids -he is super competative. I won't take my oldest DD, because that would be unfair since I know most of this stuff. It will be fun though. I'm going to go back and look at it again and make sure ppl are still saying some of this stuff is there.

This could so easily be done with a park too. There are so many threads here on the DIS on little secret things and spots. I hope we have a ball doing it.

 

[Faith09]

WOW! I will be printing this out for our August trip. Thank you for sharing

 

[MelanieC]

Anytime. I added more yesterday - you all inspired me. I told DH it's going to be two pages long (Front and back) to really give us a competition. I was talking to DS11 and DH about it last night. They are so excited. DS11 figured out that I know where they all are. He quickly retreated from wanting to be on DH's team - lol!

I figure that it will be fairer to have DD17 and DH together. I'll repost when I finish the new and improved. The thing is, you can go and do searches on pictures in the POP picture thread and get a lot of ideas. Cater it for your family and age group.

I just found a picture of something I've never seen that I added. Let me see if I can find a picture and add it. I'm looking foward to hunting for it - so nobody tell me where it's at if you have seen it lol!

Just updating my dates - We moved the first day to the end to get one extra day of Free Dining - saved us the cost of 2 meals and it was only an extra $8 so we should save over $150.

We are now going 8/7-8/25.

At POP! Woo-hoo!

Hopefully in the 60's building as we reserved a preferred room!

Love that scavenger hunt! A great activity for some 'downtime'.
