Disney Magic Kingdoms

Who are you people that give up sleep or use gems to get on top of the leader boards for the trophy event? I mean I check in pretty regular but for you to be well above 500 is a sign that you may need an intervention...there is a world outside of mom's basement. Even with all attractions and characters that drop trophies you couldn't possibly have that many without setting the alarm to wake up in the middle of the night.
if you have everyone going for them you can get 134 in 8 hours being awake for like 12-14 hours its very easy and still have a life and sleep
 
I often figured out the "price" of those good nights of sleep and it would come down to maybe $2. SOOOOOOOO not worth it to me. I have been known to get up in the middle of the night to make WDW reservations (dining at the castle when my DD was a toddler and she loved the princesses and it was impossible to book... getting FP the week that Pandora opened... ) but I would have happily paid someone more than $2 for that service. ;)

ETA - WDW punishes those of us who live on the west coast with their awful 7am EST
booking windows.

Though West Coast benefits for Disney Cruiseline which has the checkin at midnight EST

Personally I have never set an alarm or anything for the game but if I did happen to wake up I would play it if during a mini event... whatever works for people is fine with me :thumbsup2

Well, it is definitely possible to be above 500 and not give up sleep or pay gems! Also, as far as the need for an interventions go, I think many of us on this board could use one. :rotfl2:

For some reason I’ve always enjoyed and finished well in Striking Gold mini events. Actually it’s the only mini event I do enjoy so I put a little extra into this event. I’m currently #2 at 617. I have set an hour alarm for this event throughout the day which helps with collecting trophies and items for poison apples. That’s something I usually don’t do, but the project I’m currently working on at work, works well with an alarm. I don’t set, and refuse to set, alarms during the night because I agree sleep is more important than a stupid game. That said, I usually wake up 2 or 3 times a night, so when that happens it’s relatively easy to collect items. I did play more than I would have prefered last night though, because my dog decided to act as an alarm waking me up throughtout the night. :surfweb:

Does earlier check-in get you a better room? I've never bothered with online check-in that early, so I don't know what the benefits would be.

Gives you more options for Port checkin time, and access to character meet times and drink tasting classes and if any excursions you want might sell out - and if you want a cabana on Castaway Cat .... basically anything that you can sign up for in advance that might fill up open up at midnight of your checkin day
 
After building Snow White’s scary Adventure and getting the welcome Snow message....then the tapping crows mission completes...

How long are Woody and Jessie’s event tasks?

*Woody search for trapped toys

*Jessie go to snack round up to call ‘em down

I sent them on tasks and now those missions popped up.

Thanks!

Ditto for me. Worth it to get up to get my daughter to the castle....but not for the mini event. When I accidentally started this gold challenge event early, i decided to splurge $2 on a gem package that was pretty much equivalent to what i would “win” if I was in top 10 on this mini event. Pressure’s off...bought my three grumpy chests and now focused on the main event instead of the mini event distraction.

Weather....Southeastern US here. We had our first early December snow that I recall in my lifetime last weekend. Some areas got as much as 12 inches which is a ton for us. It was actual snow this time, though, not ice, which was nice....didn't affect our roads....just fun to play in.

Highs in the 50s today which is coat, hat, and gloves weather for me. Brrrrr
 
Hi there!
Been playing DMK for several months but just discovered this forum. It's amazing! I'm really excited by seeing so many people taking time to comment and share advices.

I have a question. Do you guys play DMK on your phone, or a tablet?

Thank you! Regards from the north of Mexico :earsboy:

Welcome!!

I have a feeling more and more of us will have your loading/reloading problem no matter the device b/c the developers (aka “interns”) seem to struggle with optimizing for the current devices....now add the iPhone X and other new models just out....and it is a recipe for problems.

Woody is 4 hours and Jessie is 2!
 
Got the notification to welcome Snow White about an hour ago, not sure if there is a lack of quests or I'm doing a good job at keeping up lol (with some help from my boyfriend today)

What maxrebo said. You just get to sign up for all the stuff onboard, excursions, and port arrival time. It helps to do it quickly, although I have noticed the same things were open the following morning. Unlike those coveted ADRs and FPs at WDW, which can be gone very quickly due to the 10+ days thing. We don't have much status on DCL, so I am not so sure that things will be available even if I log on right away (which I still plan to do).

Yeah, we are goong on our first cruise so had no status - the time slots for character meets were dwindling while I was booking and by mid morning all of the Palo reservations were gone

As the PP said, you're doing well. Really you aren't missing out at all since now it's just a waiting game until Snow White becomes available. :goodvibes:

Yay for your first cruise. If you're a Disney fan, the ships are wonderful! I hope you got what you wanted. If not, you can usually book some of those things right when you get on the ship. I'm not an expect (only 3 cruises when many people here are over 20) but if you have any questions you can pm me. Oh, and get that free wifi (just a tiny bit) the day you board. I don't think I'll be able to keep up with this game when we travel.

Keep checking back. We wanted to do the Remy’s dessert and it was all booked by Gold. A slot opened up about a month before. Have a great time.
Dilemma: I have everything for Shere Khan to get to Level 8 but I’m concerned that I don’t want competing Legendary. Should I keep working on him or wait until after Evil Queen. Plus I’m working on the Queen of Hearts to get to level 9, finish Alice, and still collecting for the Alien.

I just sent Shere Khan to level up to 9. His drops are so rare that I'm not too worried there will be a big conflict with Snow White (but I could be wrong here). But with 2 days to go I just figured it would be a good time to level him up (especially since it takes sooooo long to get his items and I don't want to wait 20 days to get going on them again).
 
My game is glitchy today. Every time I send Dopey out to get one of those stupid trees he gets stuck and I can't get him back unless I reload the game. Anyone else having this issue? I like using him for this every now and then since he's a bit faster.
