Open your inventory, find the note, and select the option Eat to actually eat the Scavenger Hunt Note. Then, a memory will appear on the floor of Alice’s house. Interact with it to get the next clue.

Cheshire Cat’s memory location

The location shown in the memory is right next to theBeauty and the Beast realmdoor, inside the Dream Castle. To find this location, look for a bush with gallons of milk in it right next to the door with a rose icon in it.

This interaction will give you a White Rose and Spoiled Milk. Speak with Alice to get some pointers about what to do next.

Find a place for the White Rose

The White Rose should go in theQueen’s Garden, the place where you painted a tree when unlocking Alice.

So, teleport to the Alice and Wonderland Realm and head deep into the forest until you find the red mushroom that can teleport you back to the Queen’s Garden.

Once you’re here, look for the White heart-shaped bush and place the White Rose you got from the Dream Castle here. This will prompt a Dried Sprout to drop and, out of the blue, a portal leading to Mickey’s Secret Room will spawn.

Head through it and, once you’re on the other side, follow the paw prints to find a Cheshire Catfish.

With all three items in hand, speak to the Cheshire Cat again. He’ll be a bit impressed, but reveal you’re missing once last ingredient.

“I’m small and round, crushed and ground. “A bean,” they say, “to start the day.”

This riddle refers tocoffee beans, which you can get in the Glade of Trust after completing all of Stitch’s Friendship quests.

Once you do, head to a cooking station and place the Cheshire Catfish, the Dried Sprout, the Spoiled Milk, and the Coffee Beans to cook a Cheshire Cat Concoction.

“More solid than water, though may be its daughter. It stoppers the flow, and warmth is its foe.”

This riddle refers toice. You’re supposed to fish the Frosted Heights.
