Announcing the ALL NEW Mini-Disney Challenge!

In November of 2015, The Disney Challenge will present a brand new event: The Mini-Disney Challenge. This will be a half-day event, taking place in Downtown Disney. All questions and puzzles can be answered between the Esplanade and the Hotels, so that means no actual park admission will be required for this challenge.

While The Mini-Disney Challenge is still in pre-production at this time and will undoubtedly change and morph into something weird and wonderful, we have a few details we can release at this time.
• The start time will be noon on Sunday, November 8th.
• The Challenge will end at either 3pm or 4pm with the awards ceremony 2-3 hours after that.
• It will include such category favorites as DINGO, a Photo Challenge, Picture This, as well as our usual wacky questions and who knows…maybe something brand new!
• The cost will be around $20-$25 per team.

We are super excited to finally bring you this new concept we have been talking about for years now. How excited are you to play?
