Disney Magic Kingdoms

Showing a lot of random UI improvements right now, Lion King is confirmed as a timed event called Circle of Life. Touting a "big surprise" at the end of the stream - new land?

thats not the tree house, looks more like pride rock-y-ish to me, but def. looks legit! really wanted Adventureland but Frontierland works too!!

At this point, any expansion of this current game board will do. Even though it's most likely only going to be one single patch of space.

Here's hoping...

A week or two ago now, my entire gameboard was unshaded, including the entire left side of the perimeter. Did anyone else see this? I took some screenshots but didn't get a chance to upload them here yet. I tried putting a building into one of the three areas of Fantasyland that are still shadowed out, but the game wouldn't allow me to drop a building there. So even though the area was unshaded, it still wasn't live.

Premium characters are Zazu and Rafiki, at 180 and 275 gems respectively.

Start with Pumbaa and Timon, then Simba and Nala. Scar is the villain. Zazu and Rafiki are premium characters, 180 and 275gems respectively

 

[KPach525]

also event will be 24 days long, confirmed verbally

 

[KPach525]

Ugh there is a snowgie type collection

 

[KPach525]

Bullseye from Toy Story added

 

[KPach525]

Just saw Bagheera!! So a jungle book addition too!

 

[Pheran]

New land is opening with new Toy Story characters - Bullseye and Alien (Alien is future). These are not timed.

EDIT: Jungle Book is confirmed as well, non-timed.

 

[KPach525]

New land confirmed! Welcoming Bullseye to open, also added an Alien eventually in the storyline plus an update. (Permanent, not timed).

New land kicks off after defeating Mother Gothel.

New story line is Jungle Book, also Mowgli. Starts after Zootopia is finished. (Assuming the land opens then too?

 

[Pheran]

Well, I'm happy to be wrong about no new land opening, that was more of an update than I expected.

 

[GimmeMoreMagic]

Actually now that I look closer, it looks like Rafiki's tree!! That would make sense!
I'm betting it will be Simba, Nala, Rafiki and Scar, the premium characters will be Timon and Pumbaa.

officially its the Tree of Life, haha

 

[Aeriee]

Best update yet! 2 pieces in Frontierland is opening!!!

 

[10CJ]

Do we know when the event starts?

 

[KPach525]

Lion King starts July 6-31
40 quests, 11 buildings, 2 new tapper events.

 

[KPach525]

I didn't catch a date on when the update will be released, but obviously soon.

Also, the new hard updates will make the Wiki obsolete! Haha love the status indicators being added to the task lists, and showing what action need done first (e.g. For Timon needing Scar welcomed and level 6 before task can be performed). WOW

 

[Wdw1015]

Darn these events! Will be on vacation during July so hoping will have enough time. But super excited about everything else!!

 

[hopemax]

After trying to do the last two timed events around my travels, I am happy this one squeezes in between. While we are not technically going anywhere, this weekend is Comic Con here in Denver, so I won't be home much Fri-Sun. Then I am off to WDW in mid-August. This event will have just finished, so I shouldn't have to worry about a new even while I'm gone then.

Boo to 275 gems for Rafiki though. Any timed premium buildings this time? I have enough gems stocked up to get characters + float, but I am hoping to have something left over to eventually get another non-timed Premium character. I wanted to buy Flash while he's useful but with this event starting up, that's out.

Gem Cost is very reasonable for the premium characters in the lion king event.
