Disney Magic Kingdoms

[Aces86]

So the new event is princess and the frog? Never seen it.... although it has interested me bc I love the history of New Orleans... on the plus side guess I won’t feel like spending many gems to get the characters lol

 

[supernova]

So just watched the live thread and the "enhancements" for building seem ok/useful but don't fix the issue for not enough land

It will make building the kingdom a bit easier - and rebuilding, so for people that want to/are willing to remove everything and start over it will help ....

BUT even if you do you still won't be able to fit everything at this point so it's just if you want a different look and maybe fit a bit more, no way to fit everything

Think I will spend a little time figuring out which buildings are the most useless (so don't drop during trophy events, etc.)

For now, that's all I really need. There are edges that can removed from certain buildings, and there are spots on the playing board that can be removed or reshaped to prevent squeezing in a building. I personally don't care if I need to store away unnecessary/unneeded buildings. Truthfully, I cannot remember the last time I needed many of the Lion King attractions or these days, especially the Little Mermaid. Most of these can go into mothballs to make room for the newer stuff. If Disneyland can operate this way in real life, surely we call can on a silly pointless phone app.

I gave up on the Tower Challenge a couple days ago. It was painfully obvious I had no chance at Crikee. Didn't help I'm on vacation right now and had no Mulan characters. Did get Mulan and the training camp which was my goal from the beginning, so happy about that. Just wish it had been available sooner so that I could have skipped more of the event.

I do wish we had more time before the next thing. I had hoped to at least get my WIR characters finished up before anything new. Things seem to be going super slow with them. Any advice on helping them level up is appreciated.

Truthfully, the only way to make a dent in progress is to play more. I play fairly regularly and I'm down to just Vanellope at level 9. None of these characters were impacted by the Tower Challenge, so this was the time to make progress.

Finally got the stupid cricket. I wasted far too many gems for what used to be easy an easy event. I’m ready to take a few weeks off ugh lol

Will you share your findings?
I'm definitely going to have to redo. I don't have room for all the attractions I own as it is, let alone adding 4 more.

Same. I gave up. Wasted gems thinking I would be able to get him but there was no chance. Just me perhaps, but this Tower challenged seemed much harder. I had horrible drop rates for the cookies.

Will do - I think I will start by going through and any attractions I just don’t care about or don’t look that good/do much/etc and take those off - figure even getting ride of 10 or so would provide some more room to play around a bit

Only exception is if if they are trophy drop ones. This is he best list I found for that:
Attractions / Concessions Time
Goofy's Playhouse 60m
Mickey's PhilharMagic 2h
The Incredibles House 2h
Al's Toy Barn 4h
Primeval Whirl 4h
Zootopia Race Track 4h
Jumpin' Jellyfish 8h
Splash Mountain 8h
The Jolly Roger 8h
Premium
Aurora's Spinning Wheel 60m
Pluto's House 60m
Fantasia Gardens and Fairways 2h
San Fransokyo City 4h
The Kraken 4h
Toy Soldiers Parachute Drop 4h
Enchanted Tiki Room 6h

So with two and a half hours left in the event it appears that both costumes are locked. I feel sorry for anyone who was close to getting either one. Why would the costumes close before the end of the event? Do the interns think they haven’t ticked off enough players with this tower challenge?

 

[rr333]

Glitch? Or did you all know this was going to happen?.... Mulan's 2 new costumes are now unavailable, before the event is over! I hadn't paid attention to the countdown on the costumes because I assumed they would end along with the event.

The special to purchase her comfy costume is still there of course.

Lol, we were typing at the same time

I'm surprised (yet somehow not surprised) that these dumb interns would do that. If you have Mulan and Cri-kee, then players should be able to continue on to get the comfy costume. And since the China attraction is still in chests (or have they removed that, too?) there should still be a chance to get the useless warrior costume once you have the building. I gave up on caring about costumes LONG ago when they introduced the pointless Chip & Dale lunar costumes and the ridiculous Frozen costumes. My gameplay is fine without Mrs. Incredible in her gray outfit and Pooh in his bee costume, along with the others I chose not to pursue.

In the end, they both may wind up in Mulan chests later on. Happy spending, folks!

Great minds think alike!

I tried with gems until I stopped getting very many Hot Chocolates during chapter 2. I got Mulan and Training Hut but won’t get Cri-Kee. Down to like 23/25 hats and the 2000 EC. I did not have any of the Mulan characters to help and appears unless you have nearly all of the characters you can not longer finish. So glad I did not use all my gems. Decided to save them with Hot Chocolates not dropping good for me.

 

[wingweaver84]

So I showed my 3 year old niece some of the older Disney princesses on YouTube;this is a girl who's only ever watched Frozen,though she has merch of the others. She liked them but when I tried to show her a clip from Robin Hood she abandoned me.

 

[mmmears]

So with a couple hours left on my game, Cri-Kee came back with the last fabric. Barely in time, from what I'm reading here. Glad I remembered to "welcome" the costume (seriously, interns?). I have more than enough cocoa for some reason, but have never been so close to not getting something during an event (unless I just didn't care and didn't try). Still, I don't have several of the Lunar costumes, so if they do come into play I don't think I'll be prepared anyway. This, coupled with the lack of new land (no, I don't want to rearrange my park every few weeks for a new event) is making me play this game less and less. To me it's a sad shell of what it once was and what it was planned to be. I'm still playing, but not intently, and not when real life gets in the way. I'm guessing I'll get to the point where I just don't think about it and won't open it much if at all. It's been that way with all the other little phone games I've played.

On a positive note (LOL) I really like Princess and the Frog. I like the music, the animation (it's not a 3D one) looks more authentic/retro Disney to me, and there are some cute elements to it. If you haven't seen it I'll just say that it's worth watching IMHO. So I'll likely be playing this round, and I'll try to keep my complaints minimal, for those of you posting here. The cynic in me says they picked Tiana because they are going to to make us get more comfy clothes, but I'm trying to ignore that for the time being.

So whats even better then locking out the costumes with 3 hours left in the events was that some of us were sooo stupid. Bought the set kf ruby chests for 6.99 to get the fabric, go back into get it and it is greyed out along with the comfy which i only needed 1 more fabric for

 

[hopemax]

I think the greying out is a programming error. There is no way they would give up "last minute panic" costume bundle buying. I think someone forgot that the events run in 24 hour intervals+3 hours when they set up the timers for the costumes.

EDIT - So I see the Comfy Costume bundle is still available, but the Ruby chest one appears to be gone. I still think that something didn't get set up right. Either that, or they really are all kinds of stupid, because this seems to be infuriating people on Reddit a lot more than any of the other complaints, and I'm sure FB is the same.

The question will be, "What do they do about it?"

What's weird is I went into my game, when I first got up, about 9:10 and they weren't greyed out. And I was trying to decide if I was going to just buy the last fabric (it gave me the option for 34 gems) or spend 16 gems per cycle to speed through Crik-ee's task (figured spending 16 would be better than 34, and even 32 would be better, but if I didn't get the drops then it would cost more). I came here to post, and then saw the comments. So then I went back into the game, and even though it hadn't reloaded, it had changed.

Think this might be final straw for me! Got the final piece for Mulan last night, but couldn’t level her up because she was out on her tower collection. Figured no big deal, I’ll welcome her in the morning and to my surprise she was grayed out with 3 hours left in the event! Had to run a few errands for an hour or two and still grayed out. Hoping it’s a glitch and they “fix” it. It’s funny that something that I didn’t care about at all, her costume, has ticked me off so much! It’s not about not getting the costume, even though I collected everything it time, as much as being reminded of the interns complete and utter incompetence. I don’t know why they still suprise me though?

I’ve only seen princess and the frog once and it was a couple of years ago but I absolutely love the Port Orleans area at Disney. The French quarter has such an immersive theme. I’ll probably watch the movie again before/during the event. I did that with little mermaid and it got me excited for the event (it was also the first time I had ever seen that movie).

I just leveled mulan up today to level 2 and I really like the animation of her in the training camp.
