First, thank you @lmmatooki for posting about the event

Second, I am glad they listened to us about being able to send characters "home"

Lastly I am intrigued by the Grumpy "special" character. I am glad they are trying something different but hope it isn't too crazy/hard to get him

Rewatched the live stream: About Grumpy

You cannot buy him outright

You can earn him through special chests: can get the chests by the daily gift and participating in the leaderboard NO MATTER WHAT RANK YOU ARE.
Opening the chests allows you to get tokens for him or welcoming him entirely.
The 2 premium characters will collect his tokens as well. (and the queen)

All of his activities drops a token
His quest for spooky trees takes only 5 seconds
He drops a lot more EC
After the event, he will drop more magic and experience/stars

Immatooki, thanks so much for the details on Grumpy. I have a feeling he will be making some of us actually grumpy in the coming weeks. I appreciate the info you shared. Good luck with your studies!

Yay, this makes me happy. Thank you for listening again and justifying that I’m not crazy and don’t have selective hearing, lol.

@lmmatooki I so feel you with the college play to relax vs. the try and keep up postgrad life. grad school & a 40 hr work week makes being obsessed with this game much harder than I would like it to be!

I'll be at Disneyland a few days after the event starts...I tend to check my phone a lot when in line anyway so I might make decent progress there. I have 870 gems so should be able to get all the premium content at least.

I have found that when I'm at Disney it's not super hard to keep up because, like you, I tend to check in while waiting in line. On non-park trips, I find it much harder (or even impossible) to keep up.

Seems silly to have a full event at this time of year, when everyone gets so busy and people are going on holidays (like some in this thread - enjoy!). But what do I know.

Thanks for the livestream write up, Immatooki! Much appreciated by those of us who can't watch Well, the ability to send characters home sounds good, but like many people have said, I'm not sure what to make of the Grumpy thing. It does seem lootbox-y... which is funny considering the lootbox outrage in the gaming world right now (for those that don't know, google EA Battlefront). But I shall wait and see how it actually works before passing judgement. And I am looking forward to seeing the park look all snowy and festive!

Another for the "its not a big deal playing at the parks" camp. Disney is filled with waiting, only concern is the game murdering your phone battery.

I'm probably too old school, but I would find it a big challenge to play at the park. It drives me nuts when my friends and I go to the amusement park and they are all on their phones, checking fb and twitter and what not, and we're not talking to each other. If I didn't want to socialize with my friends, I could have gone to the park myself. If I'm traveling there with companions, I'd like to be able to interact with them to share the memories and put the phones away.

I'm not convinced that waiting on endless lines is building happy memories.

Exactly! Makes me want to be back in undergrad lol

I always wonder how people play this game out and about, I have the iPhone 6s and this game destroys my battery life.

I plan on getting the iPhone 8 plus in less than a month, so I might as well ask, does anyone have that phone and is the battery life any better while playing this game?

I feel the same way. All my friends are constantly on their phones when we are together and it is super annoying. But for going to Disney, I would put my phone away because I have only gone once and I would rather experience it more.

Never a dull moment from you! Lol

Super excited about the new things to come, thanks for the update, as I couldn't get the livestream to play, though I could see the comments rolling by!
i succumbed to the lure of Elsa today, on the grounds that I am going to visit my granddaughter, who is Frozen-crazy. So we can watch her together and enjoy... Not wanting to spend 40GBP on all the bundles, I opted for Elsa with her winter costume and concession and a legendary chest pack. i was really happy with that - 2 attractions, a float, a different concession, the character Sven and a Santa costume for Mickey. So now I have a nice little set-up. I guess that another offer may come round in future that will allow me to complete the set; that will have to do for now!

I just upgraded from the 6S to the 8 and I for sure notice a battery difference. However this morning, I am also getting random zoomed in triangle shape glitches of solid color when trying to send characters out on tasks. dunno if this is tied to the new phone or tied to the impending update, as ive had the phone about a day at this point haha

If you are truly at the parks for any solid amount of time, even the best of friends run out of energy and things to talk about...I try to be off my phone around the park mostly for safety reasons running around crowds but playing in line is sometimes a good short break from what can be a 12 hour day of constant socialization...just my two cents.
