doing disney a different way

We go to Disneyland A LOT!  

With annual passes it's easy to go often.  Megan and Emily go frequently since they are always there with us and then often go with friends too.

While I was at Cub Camp (see previous post) Emily headed to Disneyland with the Arizona Baker's and Megan headed out with her friend Austin.  

In an effort to make Megan and Austin's trip to Disneyland a bit different than all their other trips to Disneyland I created a scavenger hunt that had them running through Disneyland and California Adventure taking pictures, collecting items to bring home and answering questions.  I'd hoped it would make yet another trip to Disneyland more fun.

They were great sports and did amazingly well.  They did get some help from family but that made it all the more fun.



One of my favorite "challenges" that they completed was a special cell phone challenge that I sent to them mid way thru the day (up to that point they had been using a list of challenges I had given them)  The challenge... buy a balloon, find a child under 8 and give the child the balloon.  In order to get the points for this challenge they had to text me a picture of the completed task.

When I saw this picture I died.  How adorable is this little girl?  And how happy does she look to have just gotten a balloon from two strangers?




After seeing this picture my mind is now racing with the idea of having a scavenger hunt service party.  How fun would it be to have teams racing around the community doing good deeds?!?!  I think it would make a great party.
