They no longer have the "quests" at VMK in Tomorrowland so I will make up my own for my kids (3 and 5). I want to put things in the treasure hunt that they can find while we are waiting in line and walking thru the park. Not just hidden Mickeys, but cool things throughout to find. Things like: The Evil Queen who peeks out the window over Fantasyland In Toontown maybe the cheese in Minnie's fridge The Mirror in the Sorcerer's workshop I'm thinking I might make it a game card with pictures since my 3 yr old can't read yet. I guess I'd better start referring to my pictures or make my husband draw them(he's a much better artist than me). I can give them stickers to put on each item as they find them. Xtinabell suggested Mickey Ice Cream for the winner! I want to focus mostly on things they could find while waiting for a ride to make the time go a little faster. my kids get tired of "I Spy". Their favorite rides are IASW Autopia BLAB POTC Splash Adventures of Winnie the Pooh Tom Sawyer Island Tarzan's Treehouse GRR Monster's Inc All rides in Bug's land I need your expertise on the things of interest in the queues..I can't remember!

Originally Posted By joeysmommy berol- great idea! I know we'll be spending lots of time on TSI, I'll print some pix out and reduce the size so I can fit them on a card like bingo. SuzieQ- Thanks! Are the country bears still hanging on the wall at the end of the ride on Adventures of Pooh? I could put that in for a bonus. 4 Leaf Clover is another good one. 999-Yes! I'll put 5 Nemo's to find from the sub queue,there's at least 5 right? I'll have to be specific about it being in the queue since I'm sure there is Nemo plastered all over the park promoting the new ride. Timothy is good, they didn't even notice it and Dumbo was their VERY first ride at DL on their VERY first trip last year. The 3 Jack's is good, I'll put that on my older son's card, my 3 yr old will be covering his eyes. Love the dinosaur eggs and alligators on Splash. My 3 yr old will definitely get the alligators. We watch the Splash Mountain attraction video on DL website, he wants to rewind the alligators playing the banjo over and over. I can't think of anything for BLAB, the big Buzz and Etch a Sketch is too obvious, I was trying to think of something from that queue that is a little harder to find.

Originally Posted By trekkeruss You could add things they have to get too, like a FP ticket, and Autopia license, a character autograph, etc.
Originally Posted By joeysmommy berol- good idea, that will great for my 3 yr old's card too. 999- love the batteries idea STIL-Great! I will check youtube and see if I can spot things my kids will notice, hopefully someone filmed inside the queue. trek- Autopia License is a good one! They loved collecting those last time, that will be easy. A character autograph is a good one too. I'll try to pick characters that are easier to get autographs. I've seen pooh, Tigger and Eyeore at Critter Country. Mickey will be easy to get at our pat E Cake Bday party.
