Month: October 2016

I was playing the game last night, working in my cafe…when the game froze and crashed. I didn’t lose much progress (only a few minutes worth), so it’s no big deal. Hopefully it won’t happen again.

I returned to Hawaii and started the third episode. It’s another action stage, but this one has some fishing spots in it. I soon earned the “Fishing Fun” sticker for catching five types of fish. After completing the episode, I met up with Lilo and Stitch, and we took a commemorative photo together.

I also get a Lilo & Stitch puzzle frame, which earned me another sticker. But from now on, I’m probably not going to mention every sticker I earn. They seem to come in bunches early in the game like this, and I don’t want to bore you with the details of the less interesting ones.

When I returned to Castleton, there were three balloons in the plaza. I grabbed onto them, and they took me to Winnie the Pooh’s world of 100 Acre Wood!

I floated over to Winnie himself, who was stuck dangling in a tree after his own balloon got stuck.

After I helped him down, Pooh asked me to talk to all of his friends. So I met up with Eeyore, Tigger, Owl, Rabbit, and Piglet. The episode board for this world was then unlocked, allowing me to begin gardening for vegetables. Here’s a look at my tiny starting gardening space.

I completed two more episodes here, and just like in the first game, these episodes do not include action quests. They involve farming and fetch quests. They’re quite easy to complete, but they still seem tedious and time-consuming. Some of them have a lot of text to scroll through.

One other note about 100 Acre Wood: A balloon allows you to quickly travel back and forth between your cafe and 100 Acre Wood. It’s very helpful for the times when you need to grow some crops for some dishes you’re trying to make.

Back in Castleton, I saw there was a new shop I could unlock. It turned out to be Minnie’s salon. She can change your hairstyle, hair color, eye color, and glasses. So if you’re tired of your character’s look, you can change it once you unlock Minnie’s salon.

You can also buy sparkles here: They make your character sparkle and shine, wherever you go. Different shapes of sparkles are available, and you’ll earn a new sticker for trying one on. I don’t really feel the need to sparkle, but here’s an example of what they look like (this one is called superstar sparkles).

To fulfill a cafe request, a I threw a Tangled themed party (after building some furniture to fit the theme). Rapunzel and Flynn both showed up, and we all danced on stage. I forgot to change the staff outfits to match the theme, but oh well. Flynn is so tall that he towers over me.

I earned several miscellaneous stickers for working in the cafe, doing favors for residents, and making some furniture. I currently have a total of 38 stickers. See you next time!

After leaving Daisy’s boutique, Letta flew by with some air mail from Master Yen Sid. He is the wizard that lives up in the tower. He asked me to pay him a visit in his tower. He put his beard out the window and I climbed it. Just kidding, I took the stairs.

He told me that ghosts are causing trouble, and he gave me a magic wand so that I could defeat them. Receiving the magic wand earned me a new sticker.

So I wandered over to the castle vaults and participated in my first episode, called “Chip and Dale Need a Thing.” The chipmunks lost a cog from their machine, and they think a ghost stole it. So it was my job to go fight the ghosts and find their cog.

I then began the quest, which is essentially an action stage. I use my magic wand to shoot magic at the ghosts, and I recover various items along the way. This particular quest only had a few rooms, and it was quite easy to complete. I returned the cog to Chip and Dale and earned another sticker.

Chip and Dale told me that with the cog, they can now fix their machine and open their workshop. I headed there right away.

After paying them to make a Mickey chair for me, I earned my 14th sticker. Some new clothing recipes were unlocked, and my next task was to add an item to my material log and then go on another action quest to find the item I needed.

Goofy appeared and told me he lost his house keys!

Does that mean I have to fish in the river for it? Nah, an item being missing means that ghosts obviously took them. I completed the quest and returned Goofy’s keys.

Now he’s able to go inside his house. That saves him from having to pitch a tent in his garden. And nobody wants to see that.

In the quest stage, I acquired the thick cloth that I needed to make my Mickey chef outfit. So I returned to Daisy’s boutique and made it. That earned me yet another sticker.

My next task was to complete the third action quest. The king summoned me to ask me to find a missing cauldron that’s needed to open the cafe. So once again, I grabbed my wand and started busting some ghosts.

Once I was done, I returned the cauldron to the king, and in return, he gave me ownership of the cafe! That earned me sticker #16.

I quickly made my way over to the cafe. The cafe has something new this time: a stage. There were dancers dancing when I arrived, and the manager informed me that customers can dance.

I had to choose a name for the cafe, and I went with Gobias. As in Gobias a cup of coffee. 😉 I made my first food item, a frothy caffè la-tea. The chancellor stopped by and became my first customer. After that, we officially opened for business!

By checking cafe requests, I saw that people wanted snacks and sweets in addition to drinks. So my manager suggested some Whip-a-Dee waffles and fluffy puffy quiche. I fulfilled several more requests, which were mainly just mini-tutorials to teach me how to change staff clothes, furniture, and so on.

Once I maxed out the party gauge, I was able to hold a party! Mickey and Pluto showed up, and we were all able to dance on the stage.

Cameron the flying camera showed up, and he took a souvenir photo of us all.

When the party was over, I finally earned my 17th sticker. I returned home and found a dream book on my bed. I’m supposed to find puzzle pieces (by greeting characters with puzzle icons) to complete a dream puzzle. Mickey and his friends had some puzzle icons, so I greeted all of them to collect the pieces.

Returning to my bed allowed me to enter a magical dream!

The dreams are bizarre and nothing like what I expected. I was not prepared for the psychedelic insanity I found here here. There are a variety of presents, each leading to an activity.

You may fly in a plane with Goofy, ride a flying bench with Minnie, drive in a flying car with Donald and Daisy, and more. During each activity, you can pose, change the camera angle, and of course, take lots of pictures.

You can collect lots of “nice” points in dreams, but otherwise they seem to be primarily just for fun…and pictures.

Once I ended the dream, I earned my 18th sticker. That completes the first sticker album, which is essentially a tutorial. Things should really open up next time, so stay tuned for more!
