Pins

The new season of Pins featuring Disney’s supportive stars, is here! Collect Sets of amazing, themed Pins and get valuable rewards, including a new Fantasia character – Magic Broom.

Pins Collection is a time-limited event whose duration is linked to the current Season Pass duration
Pins become available for players right after finishing Discovery 6 (Main Storyline Act 1)
The Pins Collection screen can be reached from the special icon on the main screen
Pins are organized in thematic Sets
The Sets constitute a Seasonal Collection
Stars indicate Pins' rarity, which defines how hard they are to find – the more stars, the rarer the Pin
Completing a Set (collecting all the pins from the Set) grants a reward that is specific to each Set
Completing all the Sets (collecting all the Pins of all the Sets) grants the Grand Prize, which is specific for each Seasonal Collection
The duplicate Pins are converted into Duplicate Stars automatically – higher rarity Pins count for more Duplicate Stars
Spend Duplicate Stars to get generous rewards in the Duplicates Market
Once the Collection is completed, it restarts and can be completed again until the Event ends; complete the Collection again to get even more rewards
The Duplicate Stars left from previous completions can be used in the restarted Collection

Balancing Changes

Why do we rebalance the game? Disney Magic Kingdoms is a game with many interconnected systems. Since our initial launch, we have added a lot of new features and content, and each time we do this, it can significantly affect how these systems interact with each other. To ensure that the gameplay experience remains as intended, we are sometimes required to make balancing changes. Ultimately, rebalancing the game is necessary so that Disney Magic Kingdoms is fun and enjoyable for all. Thank you for your patience and understanding!
