Your next EPCOT snack crawl could use a side quest. Preferably one that lets you wander, spot something cute, and collect a little souvenir without anyone timing your lap around World Showcase.
Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit is back at the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, and it sounds like a fine excuse to look up from the next menu board.
The pumpkin hunt essentials
According to Disney’s official event listing, the hunt is available now through November 2, 2026, while supplies last.
- Cost: $11.99 plus tax for a game board and stickers.
- How it works: Find decorative pumpkins inspired by Disney characters and match the stickers to your board.
- Admission: Valid EPCOT admission is required separately. A park reservation may also be required for your admission type.
Where to start and collect your keepsake
Disney lists Creations Shop, Disney Traders, Gateway Gifts, World Traveler at International Gateway, and festival merchandise kiosks as purchase locations. The first four also handle keepsake redemption.
You do not have to find every pumpkin to receive the keepsake. Each board can be redeemed for one, through November 2 or while supplies last. Disney limits purchases to five boards per guest, and dates, prices, and availability can change.
Our suggested snack-crawl strategy
Make the hunt the thread that connects your food stops. Pick a few things you actually want to eat, keep the board handy, and let the pumpkins give you a reason to slow down between bites.
With kids, turn the spotting into a team effort. With fellow Disney adults, decide who gets bragging rights before the competitive friend starts keeping score. There is always one.
We would treat this as an optional extra for a day you already planned at EPCOT. If you only want the keepsake, remember that finishing the hunt is not a requirement. If you want an activity, give yourself permission to enjoy the search without turning it into homework.
