Have you been playing Disney Magic Kingdoms? Will you be taking part in the Halloween event? Let us know below.
I have a question about Spooky costumes. To earn tokens for some costumes (e.g. Donald’s pumpkin costume), I need to send Mickey to do the Halloween Dance task but I cannot if he is not in a spooky costume. I do have Mickey’s Pirate and Halloween costume but there is no Spooky costume. How do I do this?
I think his spooky costume is the striped suit.
Both of Mickey’s “Donald Actions” as I would like to call them both involve the Halloween Costume that you had to unlock from the event, and one of them involves doing it with Daisy (also in costume) and Minnie (also in costume). I am unaware of any Donald pieces that drop with Mickey in his Pirate costume.
