If you love Halloween and the chance to win fun prizes, then you are going to love this. Disney is bringing back a popular activity!
Disney Halloween Treats!
It is no secret that Halloween festivities are coming to Disney Parks in full force. Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party has made its grand entrance at Walt Disney World! And, Oogie Boogie Bash is going to be kicking off at Disneyland very soon too! But, did you know that there are plenty of other ways to celebrate Halloween in Dinsey World without the need to purchase a party ticket?
In fact, one event that has proven to be popular is returning on BOTH coasts. Not only can you enjoy some Halloween fun, but you can grab some great prizes as well!
Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit
If you want some fun at a fun-sized price point, you will want to check out Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit. This activity is a fun scavenger hunt that sends Guests searching for pumpkins at select locations in Disney Parks using a map to find their way and to mark their progress.
Once you find all of the pumpkins, you can redeem your map for a prize! And best of all, you can enjoy it on either coast.
Epcot
Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit begins in EPCOT at Wlat Disney World Resort on September 29 and runs through October 31, 2023 (or while supplies last). Guests can purchase a game board and stickers at select merchandise locations, including Disney Traders, Creations Shop, Port of Entry, World Traveler at International Gateway, and Festival Merchandise Kiosks.
Then, the search is on! The hunt will take you all over the World Showcase and beyond as you try to spot every pumpkin hidden in EPCOT and mark its location!
Downtown Disney
Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit will also be available at Disneyland at the Downtown Disney District! You will find game Maps there as well so that you can scout for pumpkins.
Simply purchase a map for $9.99 at Acorns Gifts & Goods (Located at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa), Disney Home, Disney’s Fantasia Shop (Located at the Disneyland Hotel), Disney’s Pin Traders, The Disney Dress Shop, WonderGround Gallery, or World of Disney and begin your search!
The hunt is on from September 8 to November 1, 2023! And, you can redeem your prize any time during that window while supplies last.
The Prizes
This year’s prizes for the Disneyland Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit are delightful Halloween-themed Disney Pumpkin Sippers. There are several styles to choose from. Each is decorated with a character pumpkin!
Your choices include Minnie Mouse, Mickey Mouse, Stitch, Pluto, and Goofy! Aren’t they cute?
It is important to note that while we have confirmation that these are the anticipated prizes for Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit in Disneyland, there has been no formal announcement as to whether these will also appear in Walt Disney World. Sometimes the prizes can vary from coast to coast! We will know soon enough though!
Are you hoping to join in the fun of Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit? Which prize do you want to bring home? Let us know in the comments. And, be sure to pass this along to your friends and family who have trips coming up so that they don’t miss out on the fun!
Share the love!

Why doesn't Disney release these special events at BOTH parks! So tired of Disneyland always getting these and merchandise first!!. Then Disney World doesn't get the same until months later! :-( Disney World has a much larger guest attendance. Makes more sense to releast this at Both pars at the same time!

Thank you for reading. This event will be at both Disney World and Dinsneyland. The only thing that is unclear at the moment is whether the prizes will be the same (which, they might. Sometimes they are).
