On Thursday, November 1, Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort introduced “Bluey” to Walt Disney World in the form of a scavenger hunt. As of today, November 4, the hunt has been discontinued.
The Heeler Family Hide ‘N’ Seek scavenger hunt marked the first official use of “Bluey” at Walt Disney World, and at Disney Parks & Resorts in general.
While the reasons behind the discontinuation are unknown, reports indicate that while Disney has the broadcasting rights to “Bluey,” those rights do not permit the use of the characters at Walt Disney World. The description of the game (below) referenced the Heeler family preparing for Thanksgiving, indicating that Disney intended to keep it around at least through the holiday.
The Heeler family is on Holiday at the Campground and is playing a game of Hide ‘N’ Seek. Bluey needs your help to find all her family members so she can be crowned the “Hide ‘N’ Seek Winner” at their first Thanksgiving Dinner! Follow each clue to lead you to a family member in hiding. Once all the Heelers have been found, head to the Bike Barn to claim your prize!
