Great questions!! Especially for children!

Ours were totally different for the most part. Some of them are hard trivia questions for the Disney buffs too. Most of them are easy search and find questions.

My kids want to do this someday too. When we did it for the ladies trip, it was timed. Whoever made it back first, and in the time limit with the most correct answers, won the contest. THis year's theme was Pirate Princesses. We had 44 ladies entered, broken up into 4 ladies per team. Each team came up with a name, and made up accessories to match. It was alot of fun. If you are interested in seeing the group, go to the Ladies Only trip thread. You will see pictures of us wearing our tees for that day's hunt.

To those of you who are interested in the questions, I am having a hard time, transferring them here to the DIS. I'm not very computer savvy.
It would take me forever to retype them here. Sorry.

If you don't mind PMing your email to me, I would be more than happy to send them your way.

Thanks!

 

[MrsPinup]

Thank you Melody! Those are great!

 

[tinkermell]

Tinkermell,

Would it be possible for me to get a copy of this too? My family (13 of us) are going to DLR in August and thought this would be a fun thing for us to do one day. The youngest will be 14, most of us are in our 40's.

Let me know...thanks so much,

Barbi

What a fantastic idea. I would love to see those questions/tasks as well, Tinkermell. We're doing an entire unit study on Disneyland before we go (home schoolers), and this will make their trip journals just that much funner. I might just have to start mine this afternoon. Thanks for the great idea!

HI again. Not sure if you saw my post about sending the questions. I can not get them over here.

But if you are comfortable sending me your email via a PM, I will send them to you too.

 

[mom4princesses]

Can't wait to see some pictures of the book you made. I'm thinking about making some for my girls all 6 of them . Make 1 book (3 copy's) for the older 3 and 1 book (3 copy's) for the younger 3.

 

[SeattleTink]

Tinkermell,

Thanks for the post.

I am pm'ing you now.

Thanks to MrsPinup and Melody for your great suggestions (and for emailing your questions to me). When we went on a long trip to WDW from Texas, my daughter was in kindergarten at the time, so I printed out the Alphabet pages on mouseforless, and she STILL remembers them. She was like "Those were SOOOO cool". So I printed them out for her younger brother (in kindy now) and have been on a search for cool things for her to do.

Then I happened upon this thread. What I ended up doing was cutting out tags with a hole in them for a ring (I have a cricut, so they were easy to do), and I put your questions on them. I'll attach one of those miniature sharpies, and they have a scavenger hunt to do while they're in DL. I'm so excited!!! They are turning out pretty cool.

My question is, do questions exist for DCA? We're WDW vets, but haven't done DL yet (but will be doing 8 days there in May). I noticed no questions about Haunted Mansion-- that must be in DCA.

Right now, I'm at 86 questions. My goal is 100. I didn't use some of the harder trivia questions since my kids are now 10 and 6 and I didn't think they'd have a chance at them.

Any ideas?

[mom4princesses]

My question is, do questions exist for DCA? We're WDW vets, but haven't done DL yet (but will be doing 8 days there in May). I noticed no questions about Haunted Mansion-- that must be in DCA. Shawn in AK

Haunted Mansion is in DL, just so you know.

 

[tinkermell]

Plutorules,

Yay!! You transfered them over here!!

Just for everyone's info also. Most of the questions made up, were either outside of the attractions, or on fast loading rides. We did that, cuz our hunts were on a time limit, and the ladies had to gather the answers as fast as possible.

Next year's hunt is going to be at DCA. So we are already starting to gather up the info for that. Should be fun!

 

[WebmasterMaryJo]

Here's another question...

Name three lands that have elephants, and where can you find them? (Two are in an attraction, and two are not)
Main Street - Ice Cream Shop
Adventureland - Jungle Cruise & Adventureland Bazaar
Fantasyland - Dumbo

 

[6Smiles]

Thank you all so much for this scavenger thread. Wonderful!

Kris

 

[plutorules]

Haunted Mansion is in DL, just so you know.

Sorry! Didn't know... this will be our first big trip to DL-- we're WDW vets, and it's still confusing to me which rides are at DCA and which are in the Magic Kingdom park. Or that goes by Disneyland??? I guess we'll figure that all out now won't we?

Shawn in AK
