Tangled and you start opening Sleeping Beauty characters. But Mother Gothel is the next villain.
I have 513 gems right now, and am saving them for any possible Father's Day / 4th of July sale. If there isn't a sale, then I am going to decide whether I want to spend them on Maximus (I'm not sure how long it will take to have this many gems again) or Wall-E (so I can work on his storyline).
I got the quests to Welcome Flora and Zurg 4 days ago. I have Welcomed Flora, but have only managed to get 1 set of Zurg ears (but maxed out his guns). Even sent Mickey+Daisy on a 24 task, and nothing. Sometimes I think the game is weighted so that ears are hard to drop at the beginning, forcing you to progress in other areas. Something else gets opened and then things get easier. Sarge ears were so terrible for me, but then while I was upgrading him in the later levels, they came easy. Same thing for Pete's Epic ears. It took so long to get him started, and now that he's almost leveled up, they are easier. So I don't know, does getting to the point of Welcoming Donald make Zurg ears come easier?
