The time has come for the 3rd Annual Visions Fantastic Digital Scavenger Hunt which will be taking place at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California on Saturday, September 13th, 2008! Below you will find all the details. As in previous years, the top prize will be two Deluxe Disneyland Annual Passports for the winning team along with other great prizes for other the top five teams! Please make sure you read and fully understand the rules before contacting me and sending in your entry fees and team information. (Links to the registration page is at the bottom of this page)

Now for the details:

This event will take place inside the *Disneyland Resort on Saturday, September 13th, 2008 from 9:01 am to 4:00 pm with a mandatory one hour break at noon. All teams are to meet in the picnic area to the left side of Disneyland’s main entrance at 8:00 am for event check in. Then at or near 8:45 am, the teams will be given their VF Scavenger Hunt game booklets. These booklets will contain fifty cropped photos and a list of fifty other items that are located throughout Disneyland. Your booklet will also contain a mystery hunt who's details you'll find out on the day of the event. The teams will search the park for all of these items and take a digital picture of there items.

* = Park admission is not included in your registration. You are responsible for entry into Disneyland, along with all associated costs (parking, food, beverages, etc). No items will be located inside DCA, so you will NOT need to purchase a Park Hopper ticket. However, there is a chance that we will try to get a group to go into DCA after the event for a meal or the go on some attractions.

Now this is a game for a team consisting of two people with at least one of them a current member of Visions Fantastic in good standing. Only the two people on the team may search the park looking for the items. Visions Fantastic event volunteers will be scouting the park for teams that are asking for help from anyone else, including Cast Members. Again, this is prohibited. All the rules listed below must be strictly adhered to. Any team found to be deviating from any these rules will immediately be disqualified and have their Scavenger Hunt booklets removed from their possession. Please make sure that you fully understand these rules before submitting your entry. If you have any questions regarding the Scavenger Hunt, please PM Cavemandon prior to sending him your player information.
