Disney Magic Kingdoms

I generally have a lot of fun with this game, but I am with you on the frustration over the attractions in the chests. My DH also plays but far less than I do and he has gotten Splash Mountain and the Sea Serpent and I haven't gotten either of them. He also got Charming's gloves well before I did. I just keep plugging away at it with the hope that I will get lucky one of these days, but I'm saving gems for Jack Sparrow, so I'm not going to waste them on chests. I'll just keep farming Wood pumpkins in hopes that they turn into gems at the end of the event.

I just opened my third gold chest since the update. And I got a Donald fabric this time. I don't even remember what the other two were. All that matters is that it wasn't TOT. and I still haven't gotten Sea Serpent.

I put in a ticket just to get a response. They said it was random lottery blah blah. It's a good thing I love Disney. Putting attractions as lottery type wins seems like a big cash grab by the developer. I would much rather spend gems that I've bought than waste on chance.

There's a lot of complaining on here (and a lot of it justified in one way or another). However, I haven't seen anyone mention either of my biggest gripes.

The first is my strong frustration with putting attractions in chests. More than any other part of the game I enjoy collecting the attractions. I have every attraction outside of the ones available through chests. Since chests were first introduced I've found less than ten combined gold and platinum. Pretty sure at this point I'll never get Splash Mountain and now I have to deal with the fact I'm not going to get Tower of Terror. There isn't any motivation to buy chests either as they are a complete crapshoot. Even more so now as they are jammed full of fabric and decorations.

This brings me to my second point. What is the point of magic after a certain point in the game? I have over 3 million magic. It doesn't help me with any of the things I want in the game. It just goes up and up not helping in any way. The thing that really pisses me off, is that once there is an actual event in which long term players might be given an advantage, they change the currency. So now there are things to purchase and my 3 million is still completely useless.

Agreed. I did get Splash Mountain on my 18th? platinum chest, and that was with spending some of my spare gems on a chest pack. I did get the sea serpent on my 3rd gold chest, but not holding my breath for Tower of Terror any time soon, since I refuse to buy more chests and I only get 1 gold chest a week and 1 platinum every 2 weeks. I would rather the attractions cost a ton of magic that we can slowly work on earning.

That ties into your second point. Once you have leveled up everyone and purchased everything, the magic IS useless. I never had a burger/ hat farm and struggled to earn enough between the Monsters Inc./Tangled/Sleeping Beauty quests. Now that everything is complete, I've got 1.8mil sitting around. Supposedly these costumes will use a chunk of magic, but yes, if they are going to do updates every couple of months there, should be a way to redeem magic for something else in between. 100,000 magic for a gold chest and 500K for platinum maybe?

Never got Splash or Sea Serpent. Literally, besides the gloves (which took forever). I have only gotten lampposts and worthless Incredibles decorations from my gold and platinum chests

Thanks for the heads up. The Tower will be done for me in about 10 minutes so this tips comes at perfect timing.

You're welcome.

Some more tips for everyone. Once Woody has finished decorating the toy barn, you then have to send Jessie for three hours to decorate the toy barn as well. Also the next task for Jack (Halloween Scare Test) requires him to be upgraded to level 4 so keep trying to get all his tokens as I've needed to upgrade him three times since welcoming him yesterday.

Just adding that after Jessie and Woody have completed their quests, you then have to sent them off on a quest together for 6 hours for the Haunted Barn Party.

I finally gave in and rearranged my park. I moved all my Incredibles stuff to the Space Mountain section, compacted by classic Disney stuff better, then moved all my Pirates stuff to the east side of California Screaming.

I like it better because the attractions match now (color-wise) with the areas that they are placed plus rearranging stuff allowed me to open up all the space south of Calfornia Dreaming to use for the Haunted Mansion stuff. I have plenty of room for the new attractions now!

I was also pleasantly surprised how many of my decorations and concession stands I was able to place back into the park.

All I've seen today are bronze chests, I haven't even gotten a silver. Anyone else having chest troubles? It seems before the update everything was going great, I was getting gold and platinums, I was able to collect Sea Serpent, Jet Packs and the Fantasia golf one. Now I can't even get a silver chest. I really want Tower of Terror but it's not gonna happen when all I see now is bronze chests.

I'm not having any trouble getting chests. I have two of the three spaces open and six of the seven holding areas open. Everyday I find at minimum 4-6 chests, bronze and silver usually. I currently have 2 silver chests about to open. In the holding area I have one platinum, 2 more silver and 3 bronze.

Is anyone else stuck on the part where Jack needs to visit the graveyard but you can't build it yet? Does anyone know how to unlock it?

You have to have Jack at Level 6 although some items and characters are locked so you can't just plough through all the tasks.

Opened a Platinum chest and got an antler statue. Would be nice to have at least gotten some fabric after waiting so long for it to open. Gold one gave me magic. No luck so far.

I'm saving my platinum chest at the moment as I keep hearing disappointing rewards lately. I'm wondering if I should keep it until after the event.

I hate that the haunted mansion is 150 gems!!!!! ugh! I have all this magic that I'd rather use! Does anyone have it? Is it worth it? It is such a classic ride I feel like I need it!

I do have Jack at Level 6. Any idea as to what else is needed?

 

[gashunum]

You need to welcome Goofy Spooky costume before you can buy the shop. After buy the shop, then wait to welcome Sally, then only after which you can buy the graveyard for Jack to think.

If you already have Jack at 6 then buying the graveyard is one of the quests you can't perform yet. It will be unlocked at a later stage of the event.

 

[Disney_Princess83]

And the bugs are back. After you have sent Jack on his 6 hour quest, 80 spiders have been set loose in the Kingdom. There are 10 at a time with a respawn time of 30 minutes.

At this stage, Goofy wants to go on a quest to get his skeleton outfit, which isn't available at this stage.

I don't seem to have problems getting chests since opening up the second platform. I have two waiting to open and then 3 silver and 3 bronze in storage and have another 2 to be found.

Apparently it will help with Sally's tokens, but hard to say right now if it will be "worth it". I know I am going to get it, and I have plenty of gems for it, but on the event announcement livestream, they said there would be three promos during the event, so I am waiting for now to see if there will be a promo for the Mansion. Not sure what else the third promo could be for, other than maybe the Candy Shop? The Graveyard seems like it would be part of the storyline, so I wouldn't think that would be part of a promo. So far there have been two promos, correct? The parade float and Zero?

I just got offered to place Haunted Mansion too and hate that it is 150 gems. I only have 105 gems at the moment so it will be 2 or 3 days (at least) until I can add it. I will add it though once I have 150 gems just because I like having all the characters and attractions whenever possible.

I wish I could use some of my 8.3m magic to buy some gems. I play another game where the currency can be used to buy little mystery gifts you open and get prizes like gems. It's a good incentive to stay active on the game even when you no longer have anything to buy/upgrade until the next update.

The only reason I don't mind gathering up so much magic (I'm slowly nearing 1 million) is that eventually I'll have some land to clear along Tomorrowland and the back of Fantasyland.
