I sort of feel like I’ve gone into DMK hibernation lately.  With very little to talk about or do, I had stepped away for a bit.  However, today changes everything!  It might do well to know that the song that played after my husband and I shared vows was “Try Everything” by Shakira from Zootopia, so you could say that this is easily one of the more exciting updates for me so far.  Okay, deep breaths.  Let’s jump in and see what is coming by dissecting the patch notes the way middle schoolers dissect frogs.  By that I mean we’ll be squealing the entire time.

New Characters

What good is a new update to DMK if it doesn’t come loaded with some new characters.  And oh I am very excited for these characters.  All of them!

Judy Hopps

Obviously everyone’s favorite inspiring bunny and first bunny to join the Zootopia police will be along for the ride.  Something tells me she’ll be first on the list.

Nick Wilde

You’d be lying to yourself if you said you weren’t a little bit charmed by Nick and his sly tricky ways.  Nick is a huge favorite of mine and I’m excited to see him join the game.  Oh and he will definitely have plans to be made.

Chief Bogo

The least exciting of the bunch, but still a very different character than we have in the game, the Chief will be present to make sure everyone else stays in line.  I’m looking at you Zurg.

Flash

I will be SHOCKED, shocked I tell you if Flash is not the gem character of this update.  He’s so cute.  And he’ll be the only character in the game where it actually makes sense for them to take 8 hours to eat a sandwich!

Attractions

We’ll also be getting some new attractions, but no word on more space to put them, so prepare to do a little cramming.

Zootopia P.D. 

A fine establishment to do some police work.  I imagine we’ll be treated to delightful quests here such as “File Paperwork” or “Incarcerate Tax Evaders” or the super exciting “Uncomfortable Pat Down.”

Little Rodentia

Much like my old New York Apartment, Little Rodentia is the place to go to find small critters on the run.  Here I’m sure we’ll save pedestrians from giant donuts as well as make some new friends in the mob!

Zootopia Race Track

I don’t have a photo of what this looks like, but based on this pic I found from the Zootopia News Network, it looks pretty amazing.  Could this link into Cars 3 I wonder?

Concessions

We also have some nice new concessions where we can buy things.  Well our children can buy things.  I like to think the kids are collecting items on their quest to save the kingdom from an army of evil brown benches.  Surely these items will aide them on the journey.  It’s dangerous to go alone.  Here, take a Pawpsicle.

Carrot Farm

Surprisingly, I think they could actually look like this.  Finally a healthy option in the park!  I was worried for the kids’ cholesterol levels.

Pawpsicle Stand

And now that you’ve all eaten your veggies, here’s a super sugary dessert.

Decorations

We’ll have some simple decorations to accompany the update as well.

• Traffic Lights
• Pawpsicle Cooler
• Planter

Parade Floats

And no update is complete without a float.  I have no idea how this will look, but I hope it has Flash on it and I hope it goes so slow that it bogs down the other parade floats to the point where they get road rage and start honking.

Features

There are lots of new features to look at.  I’ve copied them here so that you can peruse them at your leisure.

Enchanted Chests

• You can now tap to open Enchanted Chests in addition to swiping!
• Enchanted Chest reward cards got a makeover with a new yellow card back!

• Receive your rewards quicker!  The opening sequence has been optimized.
• Within the Possible Rewards section for all chest types, the most exciting rewards are displayed bigger and more prominently for easier viewing.

Merlin’s Cauldron

• Having trouble accessing Merlin’s spell list? Now tap anywhere on Merlin’s tower or Merlin himself to access it!
• Updated the Merlin’s conjuring spell sequence to visually display more or less Elixir bottles depending on how much Elixir you are receiving.
• The amount of Elixir that you received for conjuring items is now also displayed in a summary pop-up after the Elixir is auto-collected.

Balancing and Changes

I won’t be commenting on ALL of the balancing changes as there are a TON this time around.  But I’ve copied them here for you to take a look.  I like that several of the tokens can now be found at Merlin’s shop though.  That will help speed things along for sure.
