Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit map with prizes

Pluto’s Pumpkin Patch is a fun scavenger hunt built for kids of all ages (and kids at heart). This game involves searching for a few of Pluto’s friends hidden on cleverly disguised and well covered pumpkins stashed around the park. You’re welcome to pick out a few pumpkins at a time while you’re strolling along or snag one of the game boards for yourself at either Creations Shop, Port of Entry, or World Traveler between September 29th and November 1st (or while supplies last).

Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit (2023)

This trusty map will help you track all of the pumpkins you’ve spotted as you move along and the best part to this is there’s not true time limit so you can take multiple days to complete your board! Once you’ve finished, you’ll want to show your completed board to a Cast Member at either Port of Entry or World Traveler to claim your spooky surprise!

Here’s a look at all the pumpkins!

There are a few important details to keep in mind when planning to pick up this year’s board like:

Valid admission for EPCOT is required. A theme park reservation may be required based on admission type
Game board valid for redemption through November 1st, 2024, or while surprise supplies last
Pluto Pumpkin Pursuit is subject to cancellation or change without notice including—without limitation—dates, surprises and prices
Game boards available while supplies last
Limit 5 game board purchases per person

We’re also not totally certain just how much these game boards will cost this year, however, we’ll be certain to keep you informed once we’ve confirmed its pricing, however, last year’s game boards cost $9.99.

We’ll be bringing you all of the updates before, during, and after this year’s Food & Wine Festival kicks off in EPCOT. Be sure to stay tuned with us for all the latest!
