Olaf is heading back out around World Showcase. Olaf’s Holiday Tradition Expedition, EPCOT’s holiday scavenger hunt, returns November 27 through December 30, and the map and sticker set costs $11.99 plus tax, the same price as last year.
The hunt runs alongside the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, which opens the day after Thanksgiving.
How The Scavenger Hunt Works
Start by buying a map and stickers at select EPCOT shops, including Creations Shop and Disney Traders. From there, you walk World Showcase looking for Olaf figures hidden around the pavilions. Each Olaf has found a holiday tradition from that country, and you mark it on your map with a sticker.
You do not need to find every Olaf to get a prize. Bring your map to Disney Traders, Creations Shop or World Traveler at the end of your search and trade it in for a keepsake that Disney describes as “worth melting for.” This year’s keepsake is still a surprise. In 2024, the prize was a set of Frozen character stencils for decorating a holiday drink.
The hunt has been part of every Festival of the Holidays since it debuted in 2020, and in 2024 the trail added a stop at CommuniCore Hall.
Price And Fine Print
Maps and stickers cost $11.99 plus tax. That price has held since EPCOT raised its festival scavenger hunts from $9.99 to $11.99 with the 2025 Food & Wine Festival, and it matches Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit from this fall.
There is a limit of five maps per guest, and each map can be redeemed for one keepsake. Maps can be redeemed through December 30, 2026, or while keepsakes last, so do not wait until the last week if you want the prize. You will also need valid park admission, and a theme park reservation may be required depending on your ticket.
Make A Day Of It
The scavenger hunt is an easy add-on for families, since it moves you through the World Showcase pavilions at your own pace and gives kids a reason to stop at each one. That also puts you right in front of the festival’s holiday kitchens and the international holiday storytellers, like Père Noël in France and Barn Santa in Norway.
If you are planning to eat your way around the lagoon, the 2026 Festival of the Holidays menus are already out, with 98 new items across the booths. Santa will also be meeting guests at CommuniCore Hall once the festival begins, alongside a Spaceship Earth gingerbread display.
Maps go on sale when Olaf’s hunt returns on November 27, so pick one up on your first lap around World Showcase.
