Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit is back at EPCOT for 2026, and guests can hunt for twelve character pumpkins through November 2nd while supplies last. A game board costs $11.99 plus tax, and each board earns one prize, even if the board isn’t fully filled out. The prizes appear to be small trick-or-treat bags themed to Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Stitch, and Goofy. We found all twelve pumpkins and mapped where each one sits!

  • All twelve pumpkin locations, with the character at each spot
  • The five bag prizes and how the 2026 hunt compares with past years

Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit sends guests around EPCOT looking for decorative pumpkins painted as Disney characters. Guests add a matching sticker to their game board after each find. The board’s cover shows Pluto in a mummy wrap and doubles as a map of the twelve search locations. Since its 2022 debut, the hunt has returned to EPCOT every year.

This year’s hunt opened September 25th and stays open through November 2nd, although Disney says the event, including dates and prices, is subject to change or cancellation without notice. We covered the 2026 dates and pricing when Disney announced them. Here are the details for the 2026 game board:

  • Dates: September 25 through November 2, while supplies last
  • Price: $11.99 plus tax for a game board and stickers
  • Limit: Five game boards per guest, with one prize per board
  • Where to buy: Creations Shop, Disney Traders, festival merchandise kiosks, Gateway Gifts, and World Traveler at International Gateway
  • Where to redeem: Creations Shop, Disney Traders, Gateway Gifts, and World Traveler, through November 2 or while supplies last
  • Requirements: Valid park admission, plus a theme park reservation depending on admission type

Guests don’t need a fully completed board to claim a prize, because Disney says each board earns one keepsake whether or not every pumpkin is found. A partial hunt still ends with a prize. The hunt overlaps with Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak, a separate scavenger hunt that stays open for the full festival and centers on World Showcase.

Where to Find All 12 Pumpkins

Each pumpkin matches a sticker on the game board, and the twelve locations cover shops, restaurants, attractions, and landscaped beds. Several pumpkins sit above eye level, and one duo hides quite well. Two sit inside shops, Mickey at Disney Traders and Minnie at Port of Entry, and the rest are outside. Here is where we found each character, in the order the locations appear on the map.

  • Disney Traders | Mickey: The pumpkin has a black top, a red base, and yellow buttons. It sits on an upper shelf behind the counter.
  • The Odyssey | Pluto: Orange with a green band and dark blue spots, Pluto perches on the roofline above the walkway to Brew-Wing Lab at the Odyssey. The pumpkin is visible on the walkway approach from the north, near Test Track.
  • Green Landing Family Play Zone | WALL-E and EVE: The pair sit side by side in the grass, WALL-E in yellow and tan and EVE in white with blue eyes. They are across from the play area, along a nearby walkway.
  • Connections Eatery | Goofy: Blue, orange, and black with a yellow-green top, Goofy sits beside the “S” in the Connections Eatery sign.
  • Test Track | Donald: Light blue with a white collar, yellow trim, and a red bow, Donald sits in the landscaping next to Test Track.
  • Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind | Groot: The tan pumpkin has yellow-green sprouts and a brown stem. It sits in the juniper bed with Cosmic Rewind in the background.
  • Swirled Showcase | Olaf: Stacked white and blue pumpkins with stick arms and a carrot nose sit on the roof above the Swirled Showcase sign. The kiosk is near Port of Entry, along the walkway from World Showcase to the Imagination Pavilion.
  • Port of Entry | Minnie: Red with white polka dots, a black top, and a painted bow, Minnie sits on a wooden shelf beside a stack of trunks, under the Italy poster inside the shop.
  • Journey Into Imagination With Figment | Figment: The purple pumpkin has orange horns and a pink striped belly. It sits in the planter beside the pebble-bottomed pond outside the pavilion.
  • Creations Shop | Daisy: White and lavender with a pink bow, Daisy sits on the ledge to the left of a Creations Shop sign.
  • The Seas With Nemo & Friends | Dory: The blue pumpkin has a yellow tail fin and Dory’s markings. It sits in a planter near the pool by The Seas pavilion.
  • The Land Pavilion | Chip ‘n’ Dale: One stacked pumpkin shows Chip in brown with a black nose on top of Dale in orange with a red nose. The pair hide in the bromeliads by the streambed in front of the pavilion.

Chip ‘n’ Dale is the hardest find, since the bromeliads cover most of the pumpkin from the walkway, and it takes a close look at the planting bed to spot it. Pluto, Olaf, and Daisy sit high on a roofline, a rooftop, and a ledge. Looking up pays off at those stops.

Prizes: Trick-or-Treat Bags

Each board earns one prize, and the prizes we saw appear to be small trick-or-treat bags themed to Disney characters. Five designs were in the display case: Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Stitch, and Goofy. Each has a fabric body, a handle, and a character face.

Mickey and Minnie are black with round ears, and Minnie wears a pink bow. Pluto is yellow with long black ears, and Stitch is light blue with pink inner ears. Goofy is black with a green hat across the top and long black ears.

How 2026 Compares With Past Years

The 2022 debut cost $9.99, and finishers received plastic pumpkin prizes. In 2024, the game board still cost $9.99, and the prizes were small sippers in five designs. The price rose to $11.99 in 2025, when the hunt started September 2nd, and it holds at $11.99 this year with a later September 25th start.

Eleven of the twelve characters carry over from 2024, and Donald takes the place of Joy, who was one of the twelve that year. The prizes are the biggest change, with bags replacing the sippers from 2024.
