Need an Idea for a Prize - Scavenger Hunt

tmcquaid · 12-04-2006

Okay, I need some help here. We're going to WDW next week with my in-laws. My two SILs will have their hands full with little ones, but we thought it would be fun to challenge my MIL and FIL to a Hidden Mickey Scavenger Hunt. We bought a copy of the Hidden Mickey book for them and sent a cute note challenging them to the hunt. Points will be awarded based on the rating in the book (it rates each hidden mickey on a 1-5 scale).

On Wednesday, half way through our trip, we want to tally the points at dinner and award a prize to the leaders. That'll give each team an idea of how they're doing. Then at Friday nights dinner we'll make a final tally to see which team won. I don't want the prizes to be extravagant, just something fun. Any ideas?

If you are taking them to dinner and doing the tally there, why don't you treat the winner to the biggest/most expensive Dessert on the menu? Either that or just buy them something like a lanyard and 1 pin to start them off? Just a couple of suggestions

I like the pin idea. Make it a Mickey pin for the hidden Mickey's.

Personally, I find pens to be great small gifts. They work for anyone: young, old, male, female. There are some really nice ones at WDW.

They also have good selections of chocolate and cookies.

Thanks for the ideas. We're all on the dining plan....but I really like the idea of a Mickey Mouse pin!

Maybe you could pay for the meal! That would be a little expensive depending on where you eat that night. I like the pin idea.

I think the pin idea is great!! They're pretty inexpensive and even to someone who's not a pin trader, like me, they are a great souviener.

I know there are pins for everything but is there a hidden Mickey pin? That would be perfect.

What a great idea! I love it! I am going to go look for one now!

jenbarnwell · 12-05-2006

There are a ton of hidden Mickey pins, the mickey head, I think, means they are cast member pins, so you could buy them?? Here are a couple ebay links, but there are tons of them out there:

eBay: Disney Pin - Hidden Mickey Collection - Minnie Mug (item 250056675019 end time Dec-05-06 08:02:56 PST)

eBay: Disney pin/pins Tinkerbell with hidden Mickey CL pin (item 180058821007 end time Dec-05-06 09:13:25 PST)

I love that idea...the hidden mickey pin. The trip is too close to order something from Ebay. I'll have to look when I get down there.

Thanks so much for the help!
