If you think you can do this, then you are invited to join us for LTAD QUEST!! Grab a teammate or two, or three, or more... and see how many quests you can complete! A camera is required to complete these quests!! You are going to have fun as you tour around the parks and take pictures of each task you complete, or each item you locate... ON YOUR OWN TIME! LTAD has an amazing prize for the team that can collect the most points during your stay at Disney World. There is no official meet for this Quest (besides meeting to get a list of the quests to be completed). All rules and entry info will be found in the list obtained at the meet, or you can go online to www.ltadpodcast.com and print out the list.
