Reddit had the calendar or rewards posted for March and it includes radiant/event chests at the end of the month. Looks like we may be looking at another short turn around, which is a tad annoying.

Yeah, I was just coming here to post, and saw that you beat me too it. Looks like a Tower Challenge might be starting March 21. I thought we were due for regular content next. Sigh. I'm guessing it won't finish by the time we leave for London on 4/12, which means I won't be able to get the character in my Windows game (it does not travel anywhere but my Dad's house).

Guesses based on the Elephant Throne decoration that appears, is that it will be an Aladdin Character (or possibly something to do with the live-action Dumbo release). Also, March 17th is the 3rd anniversary hat stand.

But...but...London...I love London...do you have touring plans - day trips?

But...but...London...I love London...do you have touring plans - day trips?

We went in March 2017, and we did a bunch of the normal tourist things. British Museum, Tower of London, day tour to Stonehenge and Bath, Greenwich, War Rooms, Tower Bridge and a bunch of smaller things because we bought a London Pass. This trip is so my husband go to the soccer game between Blackburn Rovers (the team he follows) and Queen's Park Rangers. So while, eventually, we will figure out what things we want to do, we won't have a full tourist plan. I'll probably go back to the British Museum when he is at the game. I want to go the Victoria & Albert Museum and probably St. Paul's Cathedral (the dome was under rehab the first trip), we're mostly playing things by ear. There is some shopping we didn't get done on the first trip (there is a book market under Waterloo Bridge my husband wants to go to, and I just like markets in general) and I just want to wander around parks and such. Go back to Greenwich.

Bathroom break drops went pretty well this morning, in both games. At 9/14 in IOS, and 8/13 in Windows. My morning drops will hit in about 45 minutes. There's a chance I could get Tiana today, depending on how successful those drops are for beignets and Charlotte+Naveen's 2 hr task during the day.

Also, just wanted to say that the Mickey Beignets at Port Orleans - French Quarter were really good this trip. We also had beignets at Universal's Mardi Gras. Good, but not as good. But at Universal we got a lot of beads during the parade. Both things WAY better than the snowstorm that is on its way, scheduled for this afternoon and evening.

EDIT: Morning drops - down to 4 more beignets in IOS! Windows, not so great only picked up one beignet. Annoyed the last hat didn't drop.

COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE POST!!! I don't think any of us really need to know about your “bathroom break drops”

Please be advised that you will be reported if you ever advise us of “bathroom break drops” again!

Speak for yourself....I was interested in the bathroom break saga

I just need one more Tiana hat. Kind of surprised at how good my drops have been, since I haven’t used gems to speed up or anything.

I got my calendar reward but the mini event didn’t pop up for another 5 minutes, after I had already collected from my buildings. Means I can delay getting on a leaderboard but kinda weird.

I opened up a platinum chest this morning and got the ice rink finally. Not like I need it anymore...

Swoon.
I took day trips on my own via the train to both Hampton Court and Windsor...easy peasy and incredible places to visit.

Fun! I love London. I second the recommendation for Hampton and Windsor. Also if you are either a Harry Potter fan or just like to see how movies are made, I highly recommend the Warner Bros. Harry Potter Studios tour in Watford. I wasn't sure if it would be a waste of time since we were in London after all, but it was totally worth it (and is open late so we went after touring downtown)!

Welcoming Tiana now!

I'm saving the Harry Potter tour for the eventual trip when we go with my Dad to Disneyland Paris. I want to fly one direction in/out of London, do a few days, including the tour and take the Eurostar to go between London and Paris, just to do it. This is also supposed to be a "cheap" trip that we didn't plan on taking but are only doing because of the game and that our tax return was bigger than we expected because of my husband's mid-year job change. So we are intentionally doing more free/cheap stuff. Otherwise, we would do another The English Bus tour. We really enjoyed the Stonehenge/Bath tour from the first trip. That actually took us to a Harry Potter "Secret Place." They don't like people sharing what the secret place actually is, but I would answer via PM if someone is really curious.

Welcoming Tiana now!

Wow nice! I need 5 more hats.

 

[hopemax]

And in a come from behind surprise, Windows game reaches the finish line first (at least this one). Tiana is being Welcomed. IOS game, drops dried up and I still need 2 more beignets.

 

[tasmith1993]

I’m only at 10/7 for tiana so it’s definitely not happening today for me. Oh well

 

[Haley R]

I believe I’m at 12 and 12 (or 13/12?)

 

[mmmears]

I'm at 12 & 11. It's slow going over here today.

 

[Hoodie]

Only need 4 more hats for Tiana, so hopefully will be welcoming her in the morning after collections.

In non-event news, all of my parade floats gave me gems in the last round. I dont think that has ever happened before.

 

[Haley R]

I just need 2 more beignets and then I can welcome tiana!

Funny how drops items can very from person to person. I collected my final beignet about 8 hours ago, but I still need 3 more of Tiana’s Ear Hats.
