Fall at EPCOT means the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival, and one of the most beloved seasonal activities is back to make your visit even more magical. Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit has returned, giving guests of all ages the chance to hunt for hidden pumpkins throughout the park and take home a spooky keepsake to remember it by.
What Is Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit?
Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit is a Halloween themed scavenger hunt where guests search for decorative pumpkins inspired by beloved Disney characters hidden throughout EPCOT. It is a fantastic way to add a little extra adventure to your park day, and it is equally fun for kids and adults alike.
The activity runs from September 25 through November 2, 2026, so you have a solid stretch of time to fit it in — but the game boards are available while supplies last, so earlier is always better.
How Does It Work?
Here is the simple breakdown. You purchase a game board and a set of stickers for $11.99 plus tax at one of the participating locations throughout EPCOT. Then you head out into the World Celebration area and start hunting for the Disney character pumpkins hidden around the festival. Each time you find one, you place the corresponding sticker on your board. Once your board is complete or partially complete, you can redeem it for a spooky festival keepsake that makes for a great memento of your visit.
Where to Buy Your Game Board
You can pick up your game board and stickers at any of these locations inside EPCOT:
- Creations Shop
- Disney Traders
- Gateway Gifts
- World Traveler at International Gateway
- Festival merchandise kiosks
You can purchase up to five game boards per guest, and each board is good for one keepsake redemption. All boards must be redeemed by November 2, 2026, so do not let them sit too long.
For $11.99 this is an absolute no-brainer if you are visiting EPCOT during the Food and Wine Festival. It gives kids something exciting to focus on as you make your way around the park, and honestly, tracking down pumpkins is just as fun for the adults. The keepsake at the end is a sweet bonus, and it is the kind of experience that makes a park day feel extra special.
If you are heading to EPCOT between now and November 2, make sure Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit is on your list. Will you be hunting for pumpkins this fall? Let us know in the comments!
