I had to laugh at this.

But I wouldn't be surprised if they sell out quickly.

One of my good friends collects sporks and every time we find a new one we grab it as a gift for him. This is PERFECT! Hopefully they have enough stock to last through the festival.

I’ll grab one if it’s still available 12/10. I like to carry a sturdy reusable spork while on property. I have the metal one from Docking Bay 7, but it’s a bit heavy. Any extra weight in my bag adds up over time on a trip. A plastic one would be welcome…and it’s Chip ‘n Dale!

I love when they offer sporks! It's a useful, relatively cheap and definitely less expensive (than sippers), souvenir that we still use at home a regular basis.

Not sure if you have had the chance to ride GotG yet, but you will love it! I have never "danced" on a ride before. So fun!

I haven’t had a chance to ride it yet and will be there in 1 week!! I am so excited!!!!!

For half a second I thought it said December 31 and I was like, “who has enough money to convince Disney to close early on one of, if not the, busiest nights of the whole year??”

Olaf’s Holiday Tradition Expedition Scavenger Hunt for the 2022 EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays

To participate in the scavenger hunt, you’ll need to buy a map from Port of Entry, Creations Shop, and World Traveler for $9.99. One side of the map lists the locations of where Olaf is hiding, and the other side has festive stickersthat you can use to mark where you found Olaf!

Olaf’s Holiday Tradition Expedition

Once you find ALL of the Olafs and complete your map, you can return to one of the three locations where the map is sold to get your prize! (You can also redeem your map for your prize without completing the scavenger hunt.) This year, you can choose from one of three zipper coin purses featuring Olaf, Sven, or Elsa and Anna. On the back of them, you’ll find snowflakes.

For half a second I thought it said December 31 and I was like, “who has enough money to convince Disney to close early on one of, if not the, busiest nights of the whole year??”

I had called earlier this week as this is the last night of our trip and I was told that it is the cast member celebration evening.
