The front of the map has spots for each of the general locations in World Showcase where each Olaf figure can be found.

The reverse side has stickers representing the items found in Olaf’s sleigh, along with a brief description of their significance. When a participant finds a figure, they can put the sticker of the item on the spot with the correct location. (If you don’t get it right or can’t finish it, fear not! Each map, regardless of how they’re used, entitles the purchaser to a prize, redeemable at the same locations where the map is sold through December 31 or while supplies last.)

The scavenger hunt is inspired by the 2017 animated short/holiday special “Olaf’s Frozen Adventure,” where Olaf collects items from the residents of Arendelle that represent their holiday traditions in the hopes of helping Anna and Elsa find a tradition of their own. This marks the third year the scavenger hunt has been offered, having previously appeared in 2020 and 2021.

While we don’t want to give the whole experience away, we’d like to share a few of our favorite spots.

And when you’re all done (or have just had enough), head back to redeem your prize! This year, the prize is one of three small coin purses.

They’re made of a felt-like fabric, though they don’t exactly feel like felt, and each has a zipper on top and a clip on the side!

Though they’re all in different colors, they each have the same design on the back of an intricate snowflake.
