Meet Merida at the Magic Kingdom

So you’ve seen Brave..and your little one just has to meet her!

Well now you can!

All the way from Scotland, Disney’s newest princess Merida began meeting and greeting with guests at the Magic Kingdom alongside three mischievous bear cub buddies, all from the upcoming Pixar film “Brave”.

The new Walt Disney World play-and-greet experience is located just to the right of Cinderella Castle inside Fairytale Garden, not only featuring a photo opportunity with Merida and the baby bears but also a chance to learn a few archery skills and color.

My boys weren’t all that interested (imagine that) so we didn’t go in but I did get to snap a few shots walking by.

(Would love to know what that wig cost) WOW! that’s some hair!

So you want to be a Sorcerer’s Apprentice at Magic Kingdom?

“Perhaps there is no art more fascinating than magic. Magic is an all-important part of our business,” Walt Disney once told his television audience. “After all, where would fantasy be without magic?”

……..and really where is there more magic then at the Magic Kingdom 🙂

 

Have you tried the game yet? In my opinion it is well done.

My boys love it! They have done it a few times and it is always a different game!

 

In the Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom experience, Merlin will recruit you to become an “apprentice sorcerer” to help with maps and clues that show where and how to defeat an army of Disney villains.

Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom, is a role-playing game, where you will become one of Merlin’s apprentice sorcerers. Your quest is to stop the more than 20 Disney villains from stealing one of the four shattered pieces of Merlin’s crystal ball.  When you sign up you will receive 5 spell cards, a map and your magic key.  You will start by using the  special map to search for the magic symbols that lead you to the  villains’ hiding places in Adventureland, Fantasyland, Frontierland, and Main Street, U.S.A. Once there,  you will use your magic key to reveal a villain’s hideout and then use the spell cards to stop them in their tracks.

You never know where you will end up!

The cards are divided into nine different spell classes, such as Hero cards, Princess cards, or Warrior cards.  In addition, all cards are marked with one of three symbols – a star, which indicates a rare card; a moon, which signifies an uncommon card; and a planet, which indicates a common card.  Since there are so many different cards, each time you play you will be able to have a different experience.

It is lots of fun! and a great way to get the kids around the parks without any whining!

Here’s how it looks…

 

it is interesting to see two Dumbo’s going simultaneously and they even have fast passes!

The splash & soak TOTALLY a big hit! Great Way to let the little ones cool off!
