The Disney EGG-stravaganza Returns for 2017

Spring is in full swing, which means the return of the beloved Egg-stravaganza to both Walt Disney World and Disneyland® Resort.  This is a fun activity that all family members can participate in!  At Disneyland Resort, this fun, egg-themed scavenger hunt will take place from April 1 - 16, 2017, at Disneyland Park, Disney California Adventure® Park, and Downtown Disney District®.  

If you are visiting Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, the Egg-stravaganza is currently taking place at the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival through May 29, 2017.

To participate, pick up a map and stickers for $5.99 (plus tax) at select merchandise locations. Search for special hidden “eggs” themed to Disney and Pixar characters. Record your discoveries by placing the corresponding sticker on the themed Egg-stravaganza map to represent that location.

Look for signs like this outside of stores indicating where the maps are being sold.

Whether you hunt for eggs or not, return your map to a redemption location for a special surprise. Redemption locations include the following merchandise shops: Elias & Co. at Disney California Adventure Park; Disney Showcase in Disneyland Park; World of Disney Store in the Downtown Disney District.

I have done this Egg Hunt at Walt Disney World in past years and let me tell you, it is so much fun! And a little hard! I'm afraid to admit that we had to ask a Cast Member or two to point us in the right direction.  Even with help it was so much fun for the whole family!  The kids really enjoyed hunting around Epcot looking for the eggs. This post won't give any spoilers as to current egg locations but will help you know what some of the eggs look like along with how big they are and where they might be hiding. Here are pictures eggs' locations from last year (2016)!

Do you see Pluto?

To find Mickey we needed some help. Disney rule of thumb: don't forget to look up!
