Is AK currently doing the Wilderness Explorer Booklet activity? We always bring ours to add to our badges, but haven’t been since COVID.

They were doing them in June as well!

Yes they are! However, they have trimmed the locations down a bit so some locations give you several badges after one presentation. It's totally possible to collect all the badges in one day because of this modified experience.
Source: me, who went from starting with zero badges to ending the day as a Senior Wilderness Explorer with all the badges.

We did the same thing when we were there in February! We had scheduled 2 DAK days and managed to ride everything we were desperate to ride the first day and spent the second day searching out and earning all our badges. It was a really fun day, especially after we FINALLY found that hidden on a back path spot in Pandora. I was very proud of us and was even given a Sr Wilderness Explorer sticker for my scooter!

They were last week. Our book is from Jan 2020 and apparently they have a new book now, so some of the page numbers were different And a location or two was different. DD8 found 10 more in 4 hrs last week, still need the 2 Pandora ones and that’s it.

Sounds like fun.
I also recommend the EPCOT Passport but it must be purchased at the International Gift Shop. I hope they eventually will return the International Cast for the Holidays It was fun to get my name written in Japanese or special Greetings in each World Showcase Pavillion, etc
