Disney Magic Kingdoms

[wisshhuponastar7]

So months ago when I defeated Mother Gothel and saw that the game board was not ready to be expanded, I surmised that we will never get an expanded playing board beyond what we have now. If by some chance I'm wrong, then we certainly won't be seeing the full expansion before this time next year. Yes, at least a full year.

Now, as far as news characters to keep the game fresh, at this point, I believe all news characters have been added by events only. Which means that Tangled was the end of the actual game and officially marked the developers' shortsightedness.

All news characters and storylines included 1-3 structures, whether they were attractions or buildings. In order for any of us to add three news buildings, we are going to require... land. There are still five areas to uncursed. At an average of 2 months between events, that carries us through towards the end of this year.

At this point, they need to pace themselves as far as how quickly they expand the storyline. Which means that once we are done leveling up Frozen, we are back to collecting endless magic. There was literally nothing to do between completing Tangled and the eventual Nightmare Before Christmas event.

Were't Cinderella & Prince Charming released as characters only after Tangled? and was Pirates a full event even? I'm having trouble remembering because Ive been playing for so long

Hello All!

I've been reading here for a while, but never posted and I'm in need of some advice!

To keep it short and sweet I'm about half way through the game right now, the only characters I'm waiting to welcome is Pete (I need two hats which I've tried and tried again to collect for almost a month now) and Eve (I just don't have the magic). I have all of the other characters (including gem characters) and I have all of the land opened except for the 115,000 magic one by space mountain.

Here's where I'm struggling.. I currently don't have enough room to put out all my attractions (I've tried reorganizing a few times with no luck) and I feel like I'm missing a huge key to the puzzle in terms of magic! I send people out to do the hourly tasks hoping to rack up the magic and I still feel like everyone else has quadruple the magic I have!

I definitely want my next step to be welcoming Pete so I can move the story line along, but without his hats (and lots more magic) I feel stuck.

What is everyone's best advice about collecting magic? Is there better tasks than others, or how often should I be collecting?

Thank you everyone!

Neither ended with a villain battle.

If you are struggling with getting items make sure that your park happiness stays in "Ecstatic" as it gives a bonus to getting items. To get more magic, you could build a concession farm - I have a pretzel farm with 28 pretzel stands - this puts out over 1K magic every 2 hours. I'm not sure why you are having difficulty with land area as it seems you are still fairly early in the game - have you unlocked any of the optional cursed land areas?

Yes, I've opened up all of the optional land except for one, but I got a lot of the incredibles/frozen attractions, and I've gotten very lucky with the chests so I have gotten attractions from chests too which I think has a lot to do with my lack of land.

And I currently have a variety of the different concessions (20 total) are pretzel stands the most rewarding?

Prince Charming and Cinderella were added to help introduce the Treasure Chest system, since the only way to get Prince Charming was to find his gloves in a chest. The Pirates characters had some kind of story-line, but it had no bearing on the bigger story and they definitely were not part of any special event. Considering how they're currently the only characters who are capped at level 6, I'm assuming they'll become integral once the next section is unlocked, but who knows when that is. I'm hoping Adventureland opens by the game's first anniversary, but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they unlock the rest of the cursed land available and stop updating the game. It's been slow going and these big events just seem like distractions.

I see that Syndrome and the Omnidroid City will now be available in legendary chests.

ETA - and the rest of the Incredibles.

Pretzel stands aren't the most rewarding - in general, the shorter the cycle the more reward you get per time, but you have to balance that with how often you have to collect the items. I thought that the 2-hour window for pretzel stands was a reasonable compromise. Here are some screenshots of my layout, maybe it will give you some ideas. However, I did miss the Incredibles event and part of NBC, so I'm probably not as space-constrained as someone who has every structure from those events. The shots are only Toontown, but I could post more if it's helpful.

And we all remember how well THAT went over. Yikes.

That's what I was thinking, too. I don't think they expected people to go this far so quickly, or to stay with the game this long. If they don't expand the game beyond what we have, and it's entirely possible that they won't, they could either just shut down and introduce something new, or allow current players to just drop off and have new players start up. I'm sure that's all happening every day anyway. Even when the areas weren't open, we could still scroll around the entire game board. The fact that we can't get a (shaded) glimpse into that area of the park is telling. Let's hope there's a huge Phase II rather than a simple phase out.

But it sounds like Legendary chests won't randomly appear and will need to be purchased, and then you are not guaranteed to get what you want/need. I only need Syndrome from this set. I also need tower of terror... but that will happen eventually with the free chests and patience, or so I keep telling myself.

I'm in the same exact spot you are. Don't get me wrong. I love getting banners and topiaries from the platinum chests that I'm treated two every two months. But still...

Of course. I'm pretty cynical at this point and figure they are not expanding the game anymore but trying to make as much money as they can before either people quit or they stop the game (which is what happened on the last Disney game I played). Sorry I don't have anything more positive to add to this...

I've only been playing a little over 3 months now and I also struggled with gaining magic in the beginning. It seemed as soon as I would earn it, I would need to spend it. Luckily during the frozen event, most characters were useless so I finally got to 1million magic by sending the useless ones out over and over again and not upgrading anyone except frozen ones. As far as the concession stands go, I would say it really depends on the time you have to play. When I first started everyone was saying Burger stands so I saved up and bought 20 of them and then realized it was a dumb choice considering I wasn't checking the game every 5 mins. Now I have about 25 hat stands and only 2 burger stands out and I've found the hat stands to be pretty useful in gathering a lot of magic.

Right before the frozen event, I put all my decorations and concessions in storage and rearranged my park and fit all my attractions in it (I have all except incredible house, city, and the magic carpets). I haven't welcomed Donald or Flora yet so I don't have their places either. While my park isn't pretty, I do have everything out as well all my hat stands and have slowly been adding decorations back in too. If you have the time to redo your park, you should be able to squish everything in there but you'll have to deal with things not being exactly where or grouper how you want them to be. Good Luck!

I was thinking about it and we all got really excited when they announced Pirates because of the ship thats back in the locked part of the top right corner, but how cool would it be if that release (whenever it happens) was tied to Peter Pan??? we only have Tink all by herself in that character section and itd make sense to do Wendy for sure, and Captain Hook as the villian for the final battle. With the attention to detail with the task animations and new attraction kids riding things animations, I can totally see Peter & Hook fighting on that ship just like in Fantasmic at Disneyland. totally a pipe dream, but thought ya'll might want to dream with me

I would LOVE it if they added more Peter Pan characters to the game. Honestly, when the game first came out I was surprised at how few Disney Animation characters were included in this game, and only recently has it started feeling balanced between Disney Animation, Pixar, and other Disney Movies. I think they could still introduce Peter Pan and all them, but I think they'd probably go in some of the cursed Fantasyland space, since the rides do seem to correspond to where they go (or would go if they were actual rides) in actual Disney Parks. I'm hoping, should Adventureland ever open, we see the Pirates become more relevant, and Aladdin characters finally show up to go with their Hong Kong rides. My pipe dream for this game is that it expands enough to feature versions of every Disney Park land, including a Tokyo Disney Mermaid Lagoon for Little Mermaid themed rides and characters - maybe Peter Pan could go there too!

Since I only have Mrs. Incredible and Dash, I decided to be the guinea pig for you guys and buy an Incredibles Chest, even though I was not at all happy about decorations being a possible reward. It gave me Syndrome, which is a good result for only 60 gems, but beware, obviously your mileage may vary.

I've bought two - my first one gave me yet another bench, but my second gave me Frozone, which I definitely was not expecting.

 

[Ariel 007]

I also bought two, I had Mrs I and Dash and won Frozone in the contest, so my first chest gave me Violet and my second chest gave me Mr. I. Now I only need Syndrome and the City but I am afraid I will get more benches and and statues, lol I will wait a bit before I spend more gems.

 

[Kewz1]

I just bought a chest.

I'm now the proud owner of a Tribute to the Heroes statue.

Yay.

 

[littlebearfan]

I didn't have any of the Incredible characters. I bought 2 chests and got Syndrome and Violet.
