Adventure is Out There!: Eggstravaganza

Right around Easter there is a fun event called Egg-stravaganza which is basically an Easter egg hunt around the World Showcase at EPCOT (there is actually a version over in California, too). What you do is buy a map with stickers. It is really reasonably priced, especially for Disney! Then you go around the World Showcase to find the eggs and place the correct character egg in the country it was hidden in. Then you go back to a shop and you get a prize (you can actually get the prize without finding the eggs, but what is the fun in that?)

I really wanted to do the event and heard that it was really popular in the past and last year they sold out of the maps. Therefore, my roommate Allie and I decided to go on the first day it was offered. So we met at EPCOT after work and the park wasn't too awful since it had been raining so a ton of people had left.

We had a ton of fun talking and looking for the eggs. We really struggled with the first two in Mexico and Norway, but once we knew what we were looking for we found the rest pretty quickly. I stopped in America to get some food from the smokehouse (a pulled pig slider that was delicious) and Allie got some food in France. After we found all the eggs we headed to the Port of Entry shop to redeem our prize. We got to chose from a selection of eggs that had characters on them. I was looking at the Thumper, Goofy, and White Rabbit eggs, and ended up going with the Thumper one in the spirit of Easter (there was also a Tink, Pluto, and Mr. Toad to chose from). I don't think the cast did it completely right since I had read that we were supposed to participate in the "shell game," but it was the first day so perhaps didn't know exactly what to do and figured it out as the week went on (they were even tallying off which eggs people chose when I think they were supposed to be ringing into the register).

It was a ton of fun to spend the end of the week and I totally recommend it. Here are some pictures form our adventure.
