But that’s not the only scavenger hunt that’ll be in EPCOT this season. A HALLOWEEN-themed scavenger hunt will be making its way to EPCOT this year starting on September 29th through October 31st (or while supplies last).

You’ll have to search throughout EPCOT to find the pumpkins that have been decorated to look like Disney characters (similar to the version of this hunt that is done in Disneyland).
