It's Scavenger Hunt Time at EPCOT

Disney

This year, Disney has two special scavenger hunts as the EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival. The first is the Egg-Stravaganza scavenger hunt. Guests can purchase a map and stickers for $5.99 from Disney Trader, Pin Central, or World Traveler. As you travel around the World Showcase, keep an eye out for large decorated Easter eggs that have been hidden. Return to Disney Traders with your map and claim a character egg as a prize. This year's eggs include Mickey, Minnie, Sulley, Mike, Cinderella, and Belle. (A word of caution, I find this to be the most frustrating of the EPCOT scavenger hunts as the eggs can be ridiculously difficult to find.) The Egg-Stravaganza scavenger hunt runs from March 16 through April 1.

Disney

The second scavenger hunt is new, and is called Spike's Pollen Nation Exploration. Just purchase a garden map and stickers for $5.99 from Port of Entry. As you wander through the Flower and Garden Festival, search gardens for the plant Spike the honeybee has pollinated. You'll know you've found it if you see a Spike's Pollen Nation Exploration plant stake.

Disney

After completing your map, return to Port of Entry for a springtime surprise. Spike's Pollen Nation Exploration will run through the length of the Flower and Garden Festival, from February 28-May 28. Good luck and happy hunting!

Hoppy Easter!

Rabbits soft and cuddly

Baby chickens, too.

Easter eggs for baskets

White and pink and blue.

Easter cards of greeting,

Music in the air,

Lilies just to tell us

It's Easter everywhere.

Well, it's that time of year again. The Easter Bunny has visited our house and left a bunch of eggs to find. We went to a big Easter Egg Hunt yesterday that a local church puts on each year. They divide their front lawn into 3 sections and put 12,000 eggs on the grass. Bean loves it! One little boy, on looking at the eggs for the first time, said, "Don't they know they're supposed to HIDE the eggs?" It was hilarious. We love this egg hunt because it lasts almost a minute. (The first hunt I took Bean to, she got 2 eggs and it was over in less than 5 seconds! It was insane and I don't think the kids really enjoyed it.) 

Things are always slower out here, just part of life in the South, but we prefer it. The church also had a bounce house, two inflatable slide, and a giant inflatable obstacle course. They also have a free lunch and crafts and short lessons on the meaning of Easter inside the activity center. It's a lot of fun!

After the Egg Hunt, we had to run over to Lowe's for their kids build. Bean has been going to the builds at Home Depot and Lowe's since she was 3 and she looks forward to it every time. This week they made a window birdhouse in honor of Earth Day and gave out reusable totes.

Our local used book mega store was having an Earth Day sale too. Everything you could put into a reusable tote was 20% off. I think we spent 2 1/2 hours looking at books. We bought a ton of learning to read for Bean, who's in Kindergarten. The prices were fantastic! They usually cost $3.99, but at 2nd and Charles, they were $1.00-$1.44. I found some books my mom has been looking for, a few books I'd been looking for, and a special edition copy of Breaking Dawn from the Twilight Saga that looked like it had never even been opened. It was a steal at $10.80! I love finding bargains and I really love books, so this was great fun! I wish you all a great Earth Day and a very Hoppy Easter!

Happy Easter

Happy Easter, ya'll. I hope everyone is having a great Easter and many surprises from the Easter Bunny. I love this Mickey Bunny from the Disney Store, but my favorite Easter Bunny was actually an Easter Dragon. The Georgia Renaissance Faire once held its opening weekend over Easter Sunday. As a result, they added bunny ears and a fluffy tail to their giant Dragon mascot, and he handed out Easter eggs to all of the children. It was hilarious!
