Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom Review

April 19, 2012

My family and I just got back from a vacation to DisneyWorld. We had many things we wanted to try that were new in the parks, and one high on my kids lists (ages 8 and 11) was the Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom interactive game that was recently introduced.

On our FIRST day in the Magic Kingdom the kids saw the recruitment center (located inside of the Firehouse on Main Street) and the line was short so we headed over to be recruited.

As we waited in line for the training they had a video going explaining the premise. When it was our turn we went up to a Cast Member who asked how many would be playing that day and if we had played the game before. They let you chose if you want to play together as a family or separately and what location you would like to play in.

We decided we wanted the option to try all of the different areas so we told them we wanted to play separately. We were each given a packet that included 5 spell cards (these are collectible cards showing different Disney characters who have the ability to cast different types of spells), a key card to unlock portals and a map of where all of the portals are located in your playing area.

My son was assigned Adventureland, my daughter was assigned Fantasyland, my husband was assigned Main Street, and I was assigned Frontierland. It is weird that Tomorrowland isn’t included in this, but I digress……..
We went through our agent training quickly:

After we all had been trained and had our mission assignments we decided to save them for later (you can play at any time once they are activated) and go ride some rides!

Several hours later the kids were BEGGING to do a mission and since we were by Adventureland we decided to start there. The line was long and what stinks is as you wait the screen tells you everything – so if you want to be surprised by what the mission will be you have to purposely look away which was hard for my kids to do.

We went to a total of 4 portals during this mission and my kids never really got into it :

We have played the Kim Possible Missions along World Showcase and my kids LOVE them all and we have done the interactive MidShip Detective Agency aboard the Disney Dream which my kids LOVED but…………….

I’m going to be honest here: we are not fans of this game, which was a bummer, the kids were really looking forward to it!

Our Jungle Cruise Skipper a few days later NAILED it when he said the game is like Pokemon with Jafar involved, so true. It’s just not that great in our opinion, there really doesn’t seem to be much rhyme or reason to what card to hold up and how they defeat them. There were a LOT of crazed older men walking around with HUGE binders full of these cards like Pokemon folders and geeking out about it. I honestly saw more grown men playing than kids throughout our trip which was just odd to me.

It obviously wasn’t a hit with us since this was the one and only time we played and the kids didn’t ask to play again after that.

***I will say that I have been told by multiple people that for now they have this game set at “level 1″ out of 3 levels and that once crowds die down from the initial excitement they will start bumping it up and it will make the missions more interactive and strategic. I certainly hope it does something to help this game because it has a ways to go in my opinion.

-Have you tried the Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom game? If so what did you or your kids think?

Disney Developing Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride the Movie

April 19, 2012

According to Deadline, Disney is developing a movie based on the attraction Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride. As many fans know the Walt Disney World version of the ride closed in 1998 to make way for The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. At Disneyland, it is one of the longest running attractions.

Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride was based on Disney’s adaptation of The Wind in the Willows. Justin Springer, the producer of Tron:Legacy, is on board to produce the film and the studio is currently looking for a writer to pen the script. Disney has had success with adapting Pirates of the Caribbean but there were also some stumbles like the Eddie Murphy Haunted Mansion adaptation. At this point I’m taking a wait and see approach but it would be nice to see Mr. Toad ride again.

April 19, 2012

Debuting in June at Epcot, Agent P’s World Showcase Adventure is based on the wily secret-agent alter-ego of Perry the Platypus – faithful pet to the title characters from Disney’ Channel’s animated series “Phineas & Ferb.” Transforming into secret agents, Epcot guests will use a “high-tech secret agent device” to scour World Showcase for clues, evil “Inators” and – with a little bit of luck – help Agent P defeat his nemesis Dr. Doofenshmirtz.

Epcot guests will transform into secret agents to help Agent P thwart some of Dr. Doofenshmirtz’s most daring plots. Agents will use a “high-tech secret agent device” to receive clues for each case. Solving the clues will take agents to different places throughout seven World Showcase countries at Epcot – Mexico Pavilion, France Pavilion, Germany Pavilion, Norway Pavilion, Japan Pavilion, China Pavilion and the United Kingdom Pavilion. Agents will scour each country for clues, evil “Inators,” and – with a little bit of luck – help Agent P defeat Dr. Doofenshmirtz.

Disney Phineas & Ferb: Agent P’s World Showcase Adventure will arrive at Epcot and the current Disney Kim Possible World Showcase Adventure will close.

According to ABC News Dick Clark longtime TV Show host and television producer who changed the way we listened to pop music with “American Bandstand,” and whose trademark ABC’s “Rockin’ Eve” became a fixture of New Year’s celebrations, died today at the age of 82 of a massive heart attack.

Clark had been in St. John’s Hospital in Santa Monica, Calif. undergoing an outpatient procedure Tuesday night when he suffered the heart attack. The doctors attempts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful.

He was loved by all and I know for me personally I grew up watching him every Saturday morning on the Bandstand. Makes you wonder how many lives like mine did he touch over his lifetime?

Rest in Peace Good Sir.

The original Citrus Swirl makes its official comeback at the Magic Kingdom’s Sunshine Tree Terrace. Gone for more than a quarter of a century, it’s nice to have them back where they belong for the 40th anniversary celebration of Walt Disney World Resort.

Who remembers that icy swirl of frozen orange and soft-serve vanilla ice cream, a duo of delish in the heat of summertime? There was a knock-off for a while at Aloha Isle, but this swirl is the original recipe, a sweet-tart tower in a cone or cup ($3.19 and on the Disney Dining Plan).
