I had an amazing day. I came 5th on the happiness leaderboard with 126 wishes and the 4 chests enabled me to get the last ears I needed for Grumpy. i also got to welcome Sleepy and complete the battle with the Queen. At the same time, I have masses going on with the main storyline, ready to welcome Zurg as soon as I have enough potions, and with Fauna, Donald and Chip all just appeared to work towards.
I used every gem that came my way towards Grumpy, worked Happy and Dopey, and reluctantly bought a couple of event bundles too. i would have much preferred a known price tag, though the possibility of winning him outright for less, was appealing. On the whole, it was a stressful experience and not enjoyable gameplay, so I hope they don't repeat it. I have never played a game that tries to demand you spend so much money before, and I really don't enjoy that aspect of it. I think the prices for premium characters are too high, especially when you compare the cost in £ against $ and so I now resign myself to managing without any more premium characters, and will confine myself to just those who will enable the completion of a special event, unless a particular favourite comes along.
So, placing bets on the next special - Moana, Peter Pan or Winnie the Pooh???
