Disneyland's birthday celebration continues at the happiest place on earth. Just days before the birthday party, the Disney Parks Blog announced the “Looking for Mickey Quest”. This Disneyland Park adventure requires the purchase of a special map with clues to hidden Mickey’s. There is a separate map quest for Disneyland and Disney California Adventure (DCA). When you complete the quest, you receive a special lanyard and medal. Let's take a look at this new adventure in this week's Walk in the Park article...
** Spoiler alert: Once you purchase the quest map, they will stamp your purchase and give you the appropriate lanyard as your “reward” for participating in finding the hidden Mickey’s on the quest maps.
The maps look almost identical on the outside until you look closely at the them. The Disneyland quest map is of course bigger and is a tri-fold.
Here’s a closer look at the DCA quest map.
The biggest difference between the two is that the Disneyland map quest requires you to actually go onto some of the attractions in order to find the hidden Mickey’s. The other difference is price: Disneyland map quest is $19.95 while DCA is $12.95. You can see the difference in redemption prizes. The Disneyland medal is “silver” and solid while the DCA “medal” is made of rubber.
The actual lanyard you receive is the same at each park.
They’ve extended the quest through mid-August or until they run out of maps. So if you’ve ever wanted to know what Disneyland thinks are “hidden Mickey’s,” the “Looking for Mickey Quest” is about the closest thing that you will get as an official list. I haven’t found all of them yet so I am off to Disneyland to complete my quest maps. Wish me luck!
