Cookie Scavenger Hunt Tips & Tricks at Disney World Epcot 2022
EPCOT is all set to celebrate the special holiday season event called the “International Festival of the Holidays” starting November 25, 2022. This event promises many holiday-themed adventures, but the one we will be discussing today is the cookie scavenger hunt which is a fan favorite.
We will discuss what it is, what it includes, and some tips and tricks you can use with your little ones to make your scavenger hunt more fulfilling. We’ll also discuss some of the newest events guests will see in the International Festival of the Holidays this year.
Let us dive in.
EPCOT’s popular cookie scavenger hunt, “The Holiday Cookie Stroll,” is returning this year, and guests from all around the world are welcome to participate in this delicious adventure with their families.
It starts in the World Showcase, as you chart your journey using the Cookie Stroll page and visit five Holiday Kitchen spots to get each cookie one by one. There are six cookies in total, and as you purchase each cookie, you’ll have your Festival Passport stamped. At the end of the fifth cookie stop, you get the final piece of the puzzle, the 6th commemorative cookie, as a prize for completing the scavenger hunt.
The Cookie Stroll is an effortlessly fun activity for guests visiting with children as they explore the World Showcase while keeping the little ones excited and looking forward to something. This activity is open for all ages, and guests can participate between November 25 and December 30, 2022.
You might have a sweet tooth and may be nothing but excited about the idea of eating five delicious and unique cookies in a day. Conversely, you may be someone who can only handle so much sugar.
If you’re the latter, you don’t necessarily have to complete the Cookie Stroll in a single visit. As long as the festival continues, you can visit any day you like and continue your cookie scavenger hunt from where you left it the last time. However, it is best not to wait till the last few days of the festival as supplies tend to become limited by that time.
If you plan on completing the Cookie Stroll in one go, it is best to stay hydrated as much as possible. The idea of eating scrumptious cookies all day might be tempting, but drinking plenty of water during the hunt will balance out excess sugar and help you stay springy.
Cookies and milk are inseparable for some people, but there are not a lot of places in the World Showcase where you’re likely to find dairy or plant-based milk. But don’t worry, there’s a workaround.
There’s a Starbucks toward the Canada Pavilion near the start of the World Showcase. Here you can buy milk servings and have your cookies exactly how you like them.
If you want to delve into the true spirit of EPCOT Cookie Stroll, you can’t go wrong with the official Cookie Stroll jar. It is a Chip n Dale jar that is perfect for carrying these unique once-a-year cookies. You can also cherish these memories forever by placing the cookie jar in your kitchen. Each year, new designs are released for this merch.
You don’t need a special ticket to participate in the Cookie Stroll. The Cookie Stroll scavenger hunt is covered in the Disney World Park ticket as it covers the entirety of the holiday festival. However, you will have to pay for the cookies to complete the scavenger hunt.
Let us now look at some of the latest additions and changes to the EPCOT’s International Festival of the Holidays.
This year, Olaf, children’s favorite snowman, has taken over the leading scavenger hunt. In this scavenger hunt, you’ll be helping Olaf in the World Showcase to track down new traditions. Once you are successful in finding all the traditions, you will be directed to a location where you can trade your scavenger hunt map for a very special holiday gift.
The Olaf’s Holiday Tradition Expedition is the newest addition and has taken the place of Chip and Dale’s Christmas Tree Spree this year. After the Cookie Stroll, it is one of the most favorite scavenger hunts in the holiday festival 2022.
EPCOT dresses up everything in the Christmas cheer every year during the International Festival of Holidays, and the rides are no exception. EPCOT covers the popular rides in holiday overlays to spread festive cheer so fans and guests can truly live and experience the holiday spirit.
This year, the following rides will be getting a holiday overlay:
Twinkling, colorful lights, and festive props will be added to this famous attraction to set the mood for Christmas funtivities.
This will be the newest overlay happening in 2022 for the most recently opened EPCOT attraction. So far, Disney has kept it a surprise, so we are all excited to see the new look of this fantastic ride this year.
The fan-favorite Cookie Stroll is an excellent addition to your EPCOT itinerary if you’re looking for family-friendly fun. But you can pack more activities in the same amount of time by saving money on tickets and lodging.

We will discuss what it is, what it includes, and some tips and tricks you can use with your little ones to make your scavenger hunt more fulfilling. We’ll also discuss some of the newest events guests will see in the International Festival of the Holidays this year.
