How to unlock the Happiest Place on Earth achievement in Kinect Disneyland Adventures - Definitive Guide
There are a lot of adventures in the park to complete. Many of them are fetch quests, taking photographs and talking amongst groups of characters. Some have specific items to collect in the attractions, which can mean having to do some of those again, if you have already done so (see below). There is a trail you can follow, so everything is easy to find and you can fast travel to attractions and other areas using the park map if walking gets tedious.
Every task that shows up in the Adventure Journal must be completed. Make sure to check the Park Map for the '!', as talking to new characters is needed to activate their respective adventures. If you see other characters needing your attention, feel free to talk to them. Progress does not get reset for whatever adventure you are focused on and this saves some time in the longrun.
After completing a character's adventures, you get told to find more of their items. These are NOT required and will not show up in the journal. They are only needed if you actually want to get 100% for the in-game completion percentage.
Attraction tasks
These are tasks on attractions that a character has told you to go to in order to progress their adventure. Use this guide for specific chapters required to be played on the attractions and what you need to do:

Just as a point of interest, the Adventures will have you visit every Attraction except Small World, Pixie Hollow, Space Mountain, and Haunted Mansion. And Pixie Hollow is the only Attraction with no related achievements, except getting the Pins. So if you're trying to be as efficient as possible by avoiding Attractions until required, you can do those 4 at any time.
For most of the Adventures (besides the ones in the old XBA thread), it's pretty obvious what chapter to play. Some exceptions that come to mind:
- Peter Pan wants to see that you can fly. Playing just Chapter 1 of Peter Pan's Flight is not enough to satisfy him. You may need to play all 4 chapters, but I'm not sure.
- The clue to Stinky Pete's location is on Chapter 2 of Big Thunder Mountain.
As far as I know, Princess Faire is the only Attraction with locked portions until you complete enough Adventures. You need to complete a princess' quests before you can dance with her.

Ariel's Float is locked in the parade until you complete her mission as well.

As the achievement says, you need to complete all of the tasks in the park. Whatever the current quest is selected in your adventure journal, the highlighted trail will show you to your current objective, such as a character, a ride, or specific items you need to pick up for a character. You can change the highlighted trail to a different quest by raising both arms and selecting your quest log. This game will get really tedious right off the bat as Disney characters will constantly ask you to help them. You will know that a quest is done when the quest does not show up in your journal anymore. You can also tell if you are done with a quest line when you are given a collection quest. Each collection quest is completely optional and does not count toward the achievement. Also, just because your journal is clear or filled with optional quests DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE DONE. If you pull your map out and see "!", then you still have more quests to do.
Upon unlocking the achievement, you will receive an avatar award which is Mickey's Sorcerer's Hat from Fantasia!

Astro Blasters
+Bumpers are located in chapter 2. You will encounter a big open room with the aliens. At the bottom of the room are 4 lights...shoot those.
+Spikes are located in chapter 2. You need to shoot all of the spikes from the different directions in order for the task to be completed. Attempting this task with two people will make it very easy.
Jungle Cruise
+Jasmine's bracelets are in chapter 3. You need to collect 5 scattered throughout the main waterways and shortcuts.
+Baloo's Bear paws are in chapter 1. You need to jump in order to collect them. Hard to miss as they are green-shaped acorns hovering in the air.
Pirates of the Caribbean
+Tiana's fireflies are in chapter 1. You need to collect 5 to complete the task. The fireflies look like sparkles.
+The logbook is in chapter 2. Take all of the paths to the right, just before you pick up the first available gold chest.
Finding Nemo
+The crystal is found in chapter 3. Take the first turn right. The item is blue and yellow and resembles a notebook.
+Ariel's 5 dinglehoppers are found in chapter 2. I found it easier to grab all of them with two people. The first dinglehopper is tricky to get as it is right after the first shark encounter. The second one is right after the first dinglehopper, so make sure to move your character to the top left part of your screen. The third dinglehopper is located as you take the first right and around the bend. The forth dingle hopper is located in the first rock cayon you swim through. The fifth and final dinglehopper is another tricky one as you need to swim up to the very top of the screen as you are about the exit the boat to the final portion of the "ride".
Matterhorn
+Donald's hat is hard to miss in chapter 1. It is located towards the beginning right as you lauch off a ramp into the mountain.
Winnie the Pooh
+The treasure is located in chapter 2. Towards the beginning, underneath a tree with a honeypot on the left side.
Big Thunder Mountain/Frontierland
+To get the crystal, play chapter 1. When entering the cave, hit the switch to go left, then hit the fourth switch to go left again.
+To scare the bats off, you will need to find the blaster mini-game in Frontierland (looks like a darts sign) and get 5 stars on it.
Alice in Wonderland
+Complete chapter 3 'The Mad Tea Party' to receive the ribbon.
Splash Mountain
+In chapter 2. It doesn't matter if you take the left or right path. When you get past the part where you have to hit stuff back, the mask will be along the main path right before you have to duck under a tree trunk in the water.
New discovery: If you sign a friend in after you have earned this achievement, he too can unlock this achievement. What you need to do is to do one of the optional collection quests and when you go to the character to turn in your collected items, it will pop. The 50% secrets in each land and the secret items achievements will also pop for the signed in profile. This can also work for the bronze, silver, gold, and platinum achievements if you have already unlocked these. You must replay an attraction in order for them to unlock for the signed in profile.

There is a confirmed bug with the Aladin/Scarab Quest. If you don't get all 3 in one sitting (IE get one and then turn the system off, saving doesn't matter) then the game doesn't count it, yet it is gone from the Game. The yellow trail will lead there, but it is missing and stuck, so to speak. There are currently not any plans to fix this, according to a company representative.
Darth Barthus said:I was collecting the Scarab Pieces in Aladdin's quest, when I couldn't reach the highest one. My wand kept hitting the sign next to it. I checked the forums of the developer and found this solution:
Exit the game, clear your cache, re-enter the game and download the update. It worked for me. I was able to finish the Aladdin quest. So hopefully the rest of the achievement will work.
In addition to completing tasks, some characters will ask you to find stuff for them in the attractions. Below is a guide I wrote on x360a.org which gives you a good idea of where these items are. If I did miss anything, please let me know and I will credit you accordingly.Exit the game, clear your cache, re-enter the game and download the update. It worked for me.

Do all the dinglehoppers in the FInding Nemo adventure need to be found in 1 sitting?
By Selkirk16 on 03 Jun 2012 13:46
@Selkirk Yes, they do. That also applies for the other items that have more than one.

This achievement will probably take up most of your time outside of the attractions. You need to complete every task the characters in the park give you. You probably won't want to do this all at once and will more than likely come in time from doing a few tasks here and few there. None of the tasks are hard and most of them require simply collecting a few items or talking to another character. This achievement will unlock the avatar award.
