There are so many fun, free activities at Walt Disney World. One of my favorites is A Pirates Adventure-Treasures of the Seven Seas, found in Adventureland, close to Tortuga Tavern, and to the left as you exit Pirates of the Caribbean. This is a short, interactive treasure hunt around Adventureland. It is perfect for an afternoon activity, while you are waiting to redeem a Fastpass, or you just want a little bit of down time without leaving the park.
You are given a magic talisman, and the cast member helps you scan it on the giant treasure map. From here, you are given your assigned adventure. There are 5 maps that you can be assigned-Head’s You Lose, Guardian’s Curse, Haven’s Defense, A King’s Ransom, and Blackbeard. One of the best parts, is the maps are free souvenirs! And, you can do more than one adventure!
Each adventure takes about 20 minutes, and you are only in Adventureland. You venture into gift shops and sometimes you find your clue in a prop outside of an attraction. After you have finished your map, you can return to the Crow’s Nest and get another one. The nice thing about this is that you can take your time, enjoying Adventureland while searching for your clues. Or, you can dedicate your time to it, and do a few back to back.
Once you complete 3 missions, you can earn a Fastpass+ to Pirates of the Caribbean.
Your family will enjoy this activity visit after visit! Plus, the maps make a great FREE souvenir. I think this is a great activity for the mid afternoon slump at Disney. We didn’t want to leave the park, but it wasn’t quite dinner time, and we were all tired of waiting for attractions. It is a “must do” on your Disney World itinerary!

This sounds like a lot of fun. I can’t wait to try it out with my grandkids on our next visit.
