Disney Magic Kingdoms

OK, I just upgraded my parade to 6 out of 7 floats. I am sitting at 11 gems right now. Let's see where this takes me!
Seems insane to have to spend gems to make back gems. I opened the slots a long (long) time ago, so the gem purge to expand my parade is long behind me. Hopefully you wouldn't have wanted those excess gems to the next event. But do keep track of your progress and see how you are doing with gems each day.

Hopefully the "investment" pays off. I did notice this morning was the first time I ever got 10 gems out of a parade, so that was pretty great :) (that was when I was still at 5 floats, btw).

I wouldn't worry about opening the last two slots for now. If your luck continues and you're able to score 10 gems per day, that is 70 by week's end alone just from parades. Then you have two for the videos and them from any characters you can level up.

People on reddit have done the math at various times, and it will still take 6+ months to get ROI for upgrading those 195 gem spots. But they are still worth it, because once you've maxed out your characters, parades are the only way to get lots of gems. And the only way to convert magic into gems. Once I got all 7 floats, I did notice the gems coming more freely. Some days you get no gems, some days you get multiples in the same float. I do get 15 gems from one parade often enough to notice (once or twice per month, I think) and I think I have on occasion gotten 20 gems from one parade. But 0, 5 or 10 are most common. I earn enough between full-events to get back up to 700 gems which allows me to purchase the 2 premium event characters, premium building and parade float. But sometimes they throw in extra events and I don't have enough gems to get those too. I had to skip Ashoka (in both games) and Khan (in my Windows game) recently because I didn't have an extra 500 gems to still be confident in having 700 by the next event.

As for the mini-event I am at 105/103 so I am feeling pretty good about getting the 145 needed for Mickey's costume in both games. I prefer these things as milestone rewards vs leaderboard so when they show up as milestone, I at least try.

The Facebook livestream is currently premiering. I just popped in real quick and this appears to be a Tower event. I couldn't figure out how to start the livestream from the beginning, so will go back in a bit when it is over to get details.
 
So was able to watch it. The Rescuers are permanent content. But there is a Tower Challenge that will start alongside this addition. With this update, only two (2) new permanent characters are being introduced - Bernard and Orville. Other characters will be added at a later time (no mention of who though). There will be a Rescuer float you will be able to get. One new attraction (10x10 dimension), one new concession (5x5) and there is at least a gold trophy. The update can be downloaded starting Monday, May 31st, but the event won't be starting until Thursday, June 2nd. Different platforms may get the update at different times (normal process).

The Tower Challenge will have three chapters. First chapter starts June 2nd. Second chapter starts June 7th. Third chapter starts June 12th. Tower Challenge ends on June 17th. The Patch Notes, live now on their website, has all of the details about the Tower Challenge including the characters that will be used or that can be earned. From what I could tell, Bailey (Finding Nemo) appears to be the main character to get from the Tower Challenge. But I think you can also get Nemo, Sina (Moana) and Sebastian.

There was a mention of some new way to get elixir. Didn't quite understand since it was real quick. But this should be documented in the Patch Notes as well.
 
I am completely addicted already
Welcome! Have fun!

I do have the 6/7. Glad to see that the 7th float will "only" be another 195 gems, but it can definitely wait. Aside from wanting gems for future events, I have some characters I would like to buy... Boo off the top of my head.
 
Two characters is absurd. The movie is literally called "The Rescuers" PLURAL. How do you only introduce one rescuer?
Looks like the crop of interns they hired on for this summer session are by far the most braindead of any group yet. Friggin' brilliant. Way to already fork things up. Egad.

You might as well buy Boo. It's not like you'll need gems for the Rescuers. A film where the villain is after... a gem. :mad:
 
I am pretty disappointed right now. I have had 3 parades in a row with zero gems, and I am only at 71/145 on the birdies. And I play almost constantly unless I am asleep. Grrr.
