We are just DAYS away from the start of the Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, and we could not be more excited to taste ALL the delicious things!
EPCOT Festival of the Holidays sign
We’ve already seen quite a few of the booths up around the park, as well as a Festival of the Holidays themed guide map, and a Festival sign. But, as we walked around the park today, we also noticed that the first signs of the NEW Olaf scavenger hunt are also starting to make an appearance!
Last month, we shared that a NEW Olaf’s Holiday Tradition Expedition (a.k.a. Olaf scavenger hunt) would be coming to the Festival of the Holidays this year! This experience will replace the Chip & Dale’s Christmas Tree Spree Scavenger Hunt we’ve seen in EPCOT before.

In this scavenger hunt, Guests will be able to go around World Showcase looking for holiday traditions that Olaf has gathered and lost along the way.

So, we’d heard about this new experience but today we finally got to SEE a small piece of it today, a few days before the start of the Festival of the Holidays! SPOILER ALERT: We are about to show photos of two spots where you can find Olaf on the scavenger hunt, so if you don’t want to ruin the surprise, skip ahead to the end of this post.
Olaf
Okay, for those who have stuck around, take a look at the L’Chaim Holiday Kitchen booth and see if you can spot something, or rather someone, who is ready to celebrate “that time of year.”
L’Chaim Holiday Kitchen Booth
It’s OLAF! An adorable little Olaf sits on the top, left corner of the booth, riding in his sled. It looks like he’s singing some holiday tunes and carrying a few dreidels with him!
It’s Olaf!
We also spotted this snowman in the Mexico pavilion. Can you spot him?
Can You Spot Olaf?
He’s sitting on top of one of the buildings on the outside of the pavilion, this time with some flowers on his sled.
Hey Olaf!
As if Olaf wasn’t adorable and lovable enough on his own, he’s even CUTER in his happy little pose surrounded by all kinds of special items to celebrate the holiday season. We’re keeping our eyes open for more Olaf figures around the park! Be sure to come back for all the latest Disney news about the Festival of the Holidays and much more!
