Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom
Looking through the attractions and found this which looks a fun activity to do with the boys. Has anyone tried it, if you have what did you think.
----------------- Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom, here's what the website has for a desciption Experience even more Disney magic during an interactive adventure with Merlin, the legendary wizard!

By casting magical spell cards, apprentice sorcerers engage in battle. From flinging fireballs to creating cyclones, there are spells to bring down each and every villain. How to Play - Merlin needs your help—so join him on this courageous quest to save Magic Kingdom theme park! To get started, simply sign up at the Firehouse on Main Street, U.S.A. 8 missions lasting 20-30 minutes |
We tried it, it's pretty cool. Some people seemed to be taking it very seriously but we just played whatever spell we had to hand without much thought and it seemed to work reasonably well.
It's fun to watch, but there's no real trick to it. Whatever you tried seemed to work |

It is fun - i played a few of the portals, but did it mainly for collecting the cards ;) I had a few troubles...each portal said I was at the wrong one (despite going where it told me i should go). It's pretty cool! :wavey:

It's okay. They only have easy mode active at the moment (or they did when I was there) which means no matter what you do you win (unless the cameras aren't working, but that's another story and only happened once or twice).
So it's great for kids but not so much for teenagers or adults who understand/can work out the basics of most card games. Assuming- perhaps mistakenly - that harder modes will actually make use of the 'strength' and 'defence' aspect of each card. |
Great game - which appears to have a lot of different levels available - had a discussion with a man who appeared to have every card in his possession - he was aiming to complete the set that day:erm: Did not allow him to put us off:confused2 You can do as much or as little of each quest as you want - we got interupted for a Splash Mountain FP and could carry on afterwards. You can also register agin on next visit to the park and see what is on offer.
We used it as a family treasure hunt and had a fab few hours with it:thumbs-up |
You can start and stop it any time over the whole holiday - i.e. you could visit a portal on Monday, but not visit the next one until Friday, and it would make no difference, its not like the World Showcase Adventure where you have to do it all at once and return the phone - you get to keep your Key! You can get the cards without playing the game too.

We did this on our last day and wish we'd done it sooner. The cards you get to collect are pretty cool - I have to say we saw several grown men with handful's of cards - on their own! Some people do take it very seriously!
We found that our "adventure" stayed within the same land and the portals were very close together - this was great as we didn't have to walk all over the park. If your kids are say 8+, you could sit and have a drink somewhere and let them go off on their own - the portals would probably be all in sight of you so you can keep tabs on them and it gives you a chance to have a rest! |
Sounds good
