This thread is amazing! SO many great ideas that I will keep handy for the airport, airplane, and if we have any emergency rainy hotel time. THANK YOU!

Thank you so much for the wonderful ideas and time that has been put into making this thread.

Went to our local craft store Hobby Lobby and in the clearance section they have tons of princess stuff mostly color kits and paper dolls. Really cute but I have a boy. Sad to see he is growing out of some of this stuff. Kinda wish there were more for older kids. We are going for star wars weekends this year and it will be our first ford trip. Anyway just wanted to give a heads up.

Otherwise, there is a blank hotel scavenger hunt in my 4shared file in the "travel games" file and "hotel scavenger" hunt subfile.

I found the items below here:
•Take picture at The sign of your birth year and Anniversary at POP
•How many hidden Mickey's can you find? Take a picture of each one.
•At 6pm – Do the Hustle? Go to Food Court. What is it? Take a picture of it.
•What is everything Pop? Take a picture of it.
•What year did WDW open? Take a picture in front of the sign.
•Play a game of Twister and take some pictures while playing.
•What is Petals? Take a picture of it including one with you in it.
•Look for the secret button (80/90's-9000-3rd floor). Take a picture of it.
•Get a picture with Goofy and his Red Car.
•How many pools are there – Take a picture of each from an upper level balcony.
•Looking from an upper level on the 50's Bowling Pin Pool –What do you notice?
•What are the hours of the pools – Take a picture of the sign with you in front of it.
•How many beach balls are in each pool? Take a picture of some of them.
•How many Icons are there – Take a picture in front of each one.
•How many types of stairwells are there –Take a picture in front of each one.
•How many Laundromats are there – Take a picture in front of each one.
•How many places are there to eat or drink at? Take a picture in front of each one.
•At the Big Juke Box – How many songs are listed?
•Find a vending machine with a Castle on it. Take a picture in front of it.
•Find the refillable mugs and take your picture in front of them.
•Find the Lunar Landing Shadow box from July 1969. Take a picture of it.
•How many shadow boxes are there? Take a picture of your favorites.
•Cross the Generation Gap. What is it? Take a picture of it.
•Find "Fast Forward". What is it? Take a picture of it.
•Find a game with the sign "Hit the Lizard on the butt" – Read the rest.
•Find the playground. Take a picture of you doing something on the playground.
•Find a Bunny, Duck and Squirrel. Take pictures of each.
•Walk Memory Lane & read the signs. Take a picture of your favorites.
•Find the Ping pong table and play (bring your own or .50). Take a picture.
•Find the keyboard. Spell your name on it. Take a picture of you doing it.
•Walk around Hourglass Lake. Take a picture in front of your birth year.
•Find Mr. Potato Head. Take a picture in front of it.
•Find Play-doh. Take a picture in front of it.
•Find the powder blue golf cart that is an old fashioned car. Take a picture in it.
•Look for the yellow POP min-bus with Peace signs. Take a picture with it.
•Write down one song you hear from one of the different Decades.
•Find Roger-What do you notice about the picture behind him? Take a picture of it.
•Take a picture of your favorite Saying on the buildings.
•Take a picture of a Disney and Magical Express Bus.

I posted that I would make that a long time ago and never heard back from the OP. I'm super busy right now, how soon are you needing this? If you aren't needing it right away, I will make it for you as I have time.

Our trip is May 30, but even if you can't get to it by then, we always stay at Pop so I'd use it for a future trip. Just whenever you have time.

I can probably get it done before your trip. The ones that I have been making are "photo" scavenger hunts so I typically list one/two words of something for them to find and take a picture with as it is a card that is easily held but not too big. I wouldn't be able to fit all of your sentences in the hunt. Let me know if that will work, otherwise, you may want to design your own scavenger hunt if you want all of the wording. You really did a GREAT job looking it all up!

Here is a link to the ones I have made before:

4shared is blocked here at work, but I'll look them over tonight and then shorten them up and send you a list so that your part would be faster.

Thanks
