Disney Magic Kingdoms Game

"Sometimes we need a little magic"

Have any of your heard of the game Disney Magic Kingdoms? It's a mobile app. Well it's kind of like Roller Coaster Tycoon, but instead of creating an amusement park you create none other than Disneyland.

I have been playing this game for quite a while now. When you start the park is under a curse from Maleficent. The point of the game is to open up new sections and cure the curse  You have to build, collect, create and accomplish tasks given to you. There are different events during holidays or Disney anniversaries. Right now they have a Beauty and the Beast event going on.

Each character you get to add needs leveled up. Leveling them up can take a while, but it is pretty easy. You make other characters do tasks to get the objects needed for leveling a different character up.

You get to place buildings around your park that are movie themed or just an attraction you may recognize from the iconic park. You can also click on customers and fulfill their happiness. Sometimes they can just go to a ride and become happy and other times you have to have a character do something for them to become happy.

Here are some screenshots of what the game looks like:

The loading screen caters to whatever event is happening at the time.

They have the castle at the end of Main Street.

There is an example of the way to build up your guest happiness.

As you build up your park and the game continues you can open new portals and sections to your park.

I'll be in Florida for spring break this week. I'm seeing an early screening of the new Beauty and the Beast movie this coming Thursday. I couldn't be more excited!! I also have some Disney related plans that day so there will be a new post for Friday!

Once Upon A Time Red's Untold Tale by Wendy Toliver- Part Two Book Series

"The hooded cloak was made of rich red fabric; a lovely brocade on the outside and lined in lush velvet." -Wendy Toliver

Attention all Once Upon A Time lovers. This is a book for you!! The book is called Once Upon A Time Red's Untold Tale .

In my opinion this book was amazing. It is about Red Riding Hood. More specifically it is about Red from the ABC TV show Once Upon A Time. By the way this show is for any Disney and/or fairy tale lover out there.

Red is a minor character in the show. This book gives more information on her background. The book adds so much detail to her background story. It describes how she lived in her town and what was happening in the town that may have lead to her destiny. We don't learn much in the show because she isn't a character that is focused on much.

I loved being able to read her side of the story. Even minor characters have stories and deserve to be talked about. Red's Untold Tale is a great book to learn more about one of your favorite characters. Even if you do not watch the show it would still be a really good book to read. It is very well written. Even the book itself is visually beautiful. It has a nice sleek black cover with the right amount of color within its design. The sides of the pages are also black making the book look very sophisticated.

There is another book by Wendy Toliver coming out in April about Regina from Once Upon A Time. I am beyond excited for it. I cannot wait to read it!

Unhooked by Lisa Maxwell- Part One Book Series

https://goo.gl/OCWUfV

"My life was, has been a series of poorly timed moves for as long as I can remember. But something about this place has me pausing." -Lisa Maxwell

I have been reading some Disney inspired books lately. I decided to start a series of blog posts called Book Series. The books are not part of a series it's just individual books I have been reading. 

So if you are a fan of Peter Pan you will probably like this book. It is a dark twisted tale about Neverland and the creatures living there. Hook and Peter Pan are characters in this book, but they are not the traditional characters Disney lovers have come to know. 

This story is definitely darker than the Disney version of Peter Pan, but it still has details that are from the movie. As you read it, you can definitely catch the inspiration. The book centers attention around the main character and her mysterious life. I don't want to say too much without spoiling anything. 

You get to know a little bit more about "hook" and Pan and how they became enemies. The story gives an awesome twist on their relationship. I also loved seeing their sides separately and the relationships they have gained throughout the story. 

There are many books out there that seem to have similar stories to this one that I would love to read as well. 

But I would definitely recommend this book to any Disney lovers out there or just anyone that likes a good book full of action and mysterious creatures. Next book post to come next week.

Know Who You Are...Moana Movie Review

https://goo.gl/jrY6AY

"See that line where the sea meets the sky, it calls me..." ~Moana

Moana...In my opinion was a great movie.

Don't worry this post won't include any spoilers.

I saw this movie the day it came out in theaters. I know this review is late...sorry. I just wanted to share my thoughts. So in honor of the DVD release being March 7th, here is my review.

I fell in the love with this movie when I saw it. The characters, the soundtrack, the animation. Everything in this movie was visually pleasing. The music was created by the amazing Lin-Manuel Miranda. the soundtrack is a great album to listen to when doing, anything! The lyrics and the beats make it a fun music choice for the day. The actors/singers voices are great as well.

Moana is a strong female character played by Auli'i Cravalho, who by the way is the perfect choice for this role. She looks just like the animated character and the company didn't even find her to voice the character until the animation was created. Moana lives life with an open mind. She shows her interest of the sea from when she was a little girl. She sets forth on her goals and doesn't stop until she accomplishes them. This is an important lesson for everyone all around the world. Set goals to accomplish in life, live out your dreams and create your journey the way you want it to be and be happy with who you are. I am not saying you should go about your goals the exact way she did *disobeying her parents*, but in a way you can do it without disrespecting those around you. This movie also shows that you can become friends with anyone even if it doesn't seem likely at the time.

So live life to the fullest and know who you are.

Let me know what you guys thought about this movie. Leave your comments below, I would love to hear from you!
