Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit is a scavenger hunt in EPCOT in the fall where you purchase a map and then try to locate Disney character pumpkins around the park. Once you complete the scavenger hunt, you can choose between different prizes for Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit, which is a mystery mini character bag.
2026 Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit Scavenger Hunt in EPCOT
Adding to the other EPCOT Scavenger Hunts for kids (and adults), Disney World now has a Halloween-themed scavenger hunt, Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit. This scavenger hunt first started in Disneyland at Downtown Disney.
I like Pluto’s Pumpkin Scavenger Hunt, because it’s a little different than the others as most of the locations are in the front of EPCOT versus World Showcase, like Remy’s Hide and Squeak Scavenger Hunt. But it is fun to have both scavenger hunts going at the same time!
You can play Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit until November 1, 2026.
Here’s all you need to know about Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit Scavenger Hunt in EPCOT including the prizes, price, and whether it’s worth it!
And once you get started and need a little help and hints, you can find all the Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit answers here and where to find the pumpkins.

Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit Scavenger Hunt Prizes
What are the 2026 Pluto’s Pumpkin Scavenger Hunt prizes? You’ll receive a mystery mini character bag. You don’t get to choose your character, it’s a surprise. They have 5 different characters.
Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit Prize Tip: When you purchase your map, you can choose your prize without completing the scavenger hunt first. I usually just pick our prize when I buy my map, so I don’t have to go back. They’ll just mark your map with a “Complete” stamp so they know you already chose your prize.
You can redeem your Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit prize at Creations Shop, Disney Traders, and World Traveler or any places they sell a map. And if you just can’t choose which is your favorite, you can buy more than one map and get a prize for each map you purchase.
I got a Stich bag!
It’s cute, but I’m not sure what you do with it. It’s too small to really hold anything. I also don’t really love the idea of a mystery prize. I wish you could pick your character.
How to Play Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit
So now that you have purchased your map, you want to go hunt for Disney Pumpkins in EPCOT! This is an easier scavenger hunt than Remy’s Hide & Squeak Scavenger Hunt that runs at the same time during EPCOT’s Food & Wine Festival.
The Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit Stickers match exactly what the pumpkins look like that you’re trying to locate, so that’s a bonus, too.
The front of the map does act like a guide map and tells you what locations each pumpkin is in. Some of this year’s pumpkins are tricky and require you to look inside stores.
Once you’ve matched all the correct pumpkin stickers to their corresponding locations, success!
Is Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit Worth It?
I think Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit is the best Epcot Scavenger Hunt for younger children. The stickers match the pumpkins, there’s less walking involved, and for the most part the pumpkins are easy to find as long as you look at the locations on the map.
It’s also a great activity for little ones if they aren’t tall enough for a ride so they have something to do while they wait for Child Swap.
The prizes are a little weird, but they’re cute. So with a discount, what’s an extra $10 added on to your Disney vacation? It’s all about the memories.
The scavenger hunt is fun and will probably take you about an hour to an hour and a half to complete if you’re only focused on finding pumpkins. It’s a great addition to your EPCOT day, especially if you’re visiting for Halloween fun.
