WDWNTÂ Reporter Tom Corless visited the Walt Disney World Resort last week and has some newsworthy photos to share with us from his trip, so let’s take a look:
There is now an official Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom card book, $34.95
Download PDF Checklist (full page) updated 3/15/13
Download PDF Checklist (quarter page) updated 3/15/13
Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom is the interactive game guests can play at the Magic Kingdom (details here). We are going to try to keep a comprehensive checklist of the cards available in the game. If you have pictures of cards we do not, or better pictures of ones we do, please send them into us. High quality scans are best, but photos will work too. Please also provide the card number from the bottom left corner in case I can not read it. And let us know exactly where the pictures came from (ie. you took them yourself) If you find it on the net, please note what site you found it at. Email pictures and info to: DestinationVinylmation@gmail.com. Thanks! And good luck out there.
Update: 10/25/13 Photos of the 2013 Halloween and Christmas Party cards were added.
Update: 03/14/13 Check out this home version of SoTMK designed by Adam. He runs the gaming website Eclectic Gamer and sent in a link to his article and rules for his home version called Wizards of the Mystic Fiefdom. It has a simple, easy to learn game play. As well as a style well suited to the SoTMK cards that make it an enjoyable play.
Update: 11/08/12 There is a special card released for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.
Update: 09/27/12 There was a special card released for Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party. (picture in checklist below) Unlike the special Cast Member card, this is a normal sized card. It features Chip ‘n Dale’s Bag of Tricks and is numbered 01/P.
Update: 08/17/12 The Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom Booster Packs were released today at the Emporium for $11.95. Check out detailed pictures and a review and explaination as to what you get, in this article here.
Update: 07/26/12 The Disney Parks Blog announced the rumored home version of Sorcerer’s of the Magic Kingdom along with the availability of the rare cards #61-70.
The trading card game will contain seven randomly selected spell cards (including at least one super rare spell card), one of four game boards, game rules, new tokens and a complete spell card checklist. Disney also announced a set of mystery pins that you can see over at Once Upon a Pin.
Update: 03/04/12 HQ picture of Cast Member card uploaded. It is confirmed this was only handed out to CMs and is an over-sized 5×7 card. We also added a picture of the Woody error card with Slinky Dog. Early versions of the Wood card (#22) had Slinky Dog, but it had to be removed because they did not have permission to use him. Downloadable Checklist also updated to reflect the Woody error card. We also made a smaller more pocket size version of the checklist available. We also would like to thank Non Sport Update Magazine for linking to us on their blog.
Update: 02/23/12 Vinylmation World tweeted a picture of a card I haven’t seen or heard about yet.
We are trying to find out how this card is obtained. The Cast Member card above was a 5×7 card issued to Cast Members on 2/22, the first official day of this new attraction. A few more things we have found out about game play are spells seem to get stronger as they used over and over again at more difficult levels. Also, most comb spells (2 cards played at once) seem to work, however certain match ups, such as a Princess and her Prince, seem to be most effective. An interesting find was playing two similar spells at the same time, such as the Fairy Godmother’s Pumpkin spell with the Headless Horseman’s Pumpkin spell gives a heavier barrage of pumpkins. And I forget to mention in an earlier update, a second starting location can be found behind the Christmas Shop in Liberty Square if you find the Firehouse too long of a wait. Also, many guests seem to be open to trading at the portals. I completed my deck of 1-60 yesterday by acquiring about 30 cards through trades.
Update: 02/22/12 Sorcerers of the MK official opened today! Downloadable PDF card checklist added at top of this post. Please help us complete the list with the missing rare (61-70) cards. Also, more details emerge. Guests can now officially play on both Medium and Hard settings, however all games on the previous level must be completed to move on. Cards 61-70 are more rare than the rest and were no longer handed out randomly to guests as of about a week ago. Rumors persist about Disney selling game cards, however guests will still receive 5 free cards per day. It is still unclear as to whether or not the rare cards will be randomly inserted into the free cards, or will only be for sale.
Update: 01/30/12 The Disney Parks Blog announced some info about collecting these cards. “The 70 cards are divided into nine different spell classes, such as Princess cards, Hero cards or Warrior cards. In addition, all cards are marked with one of three designations â a star symbol, which indicates a rare card; a moon symbol, which signifies an uncommon card; and a planet symbol, which indicates a common card.”

A new Sorcerer’s of the Magic Kingdom card will be available exclusively at the Magic Kingdom’s Very Merry Christmas Party this year.
Guests must show their party ticket and wristband at the Firehouse to receive the free card. It features Wayne and Lanny from Disney Channel’s popular Prep and Landing Christmas special. Make sure you print out our Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom card checklist before you head out to the parks.
WDWNT Reporter Adam Roth visited the Magic Kingdom on Saturday and he has a ton of newsworthy photos to share with us. Dueling Dumbos are flying, Casey Jr. is splashing and soaking, and whole lot is going on at the park, so let’s take a look:
Let’s get right to Fantasyland
Seven Dwarfs’ Mine Train
More steel rises
Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid looms in the distance
The new Winnie the Pooh meet and greet is open, replacing Tigger’s Bouncy Place
Dumbo FASTPASS is running and at Philharmagic’s old machines
Another look at Mine Train
Mermaid rockwork extending down towards Storybook Circus
Big Top Souvenirs
We finally have dueling Dumbos!
Timothy now spins and moves on the sign
Only 30 minutes for stand-by… it’s working…
A large wall has appeared on the Mine Train structure
Back to Dumbo
FASTPASS return will skip the tent queue
Love the magic feather on the clock…
The old Dumbo is back as the new Dumbo! Wait… what?
“Transformers: The Ride was much better!”
No interactive queue today 🙁
A photo with two Dumbos? MIND BLOWN!
Disney released some footage of the dueling Dumbos for you to enjoy:
More Mine Train
Big Top Souvenirs
Casey Jr. Splash ‘N’ Soak Station is open
Casey Jr. got fenced in… apparently there were some safety issues with the water and guests climbing in
Other than that, the area looks great!
The animals spin and spray, much nicer than other water play areas
Poor Casey sits in a time out…
The attraction sign is pretty cool too
The backs of the 4 train cars have the years that each WDW park opened – 71, 82, 89, and 98
A nicely themed new merchandise cart sells fitting water-play merchandise
and hats…
This car will be the most popular with the fanboys… they will gather here and tell tales of Horizons
The area behind Casey still needs some work…
This PIXAR short reference was added a few weeks ago
You may recognize this emblem from Town Square Theater
Casey does look pretty great though
He even blinks!
This is always pretty disturbing…
Looking into Mermaid, you can see trees and ship wreckage are now visible
The new Winnie the Pooh meet and greet
Castle Wall construction
Mystery walls still up by the Carousel
Snow White is still closed… and it ain’t reopening anytime soon…
Only visible change is the missing attraction sign which we assume has gone to the archives
Dumbo FASTPASS, that way!
It isn’t going to open, so I’m not sure why he turned around…
If you haven’t exited by now…
Winnie the Pooh and Dumbo now share the Philharmagic FASTPASS distribution
The new signs are cool, and they give you the standby wait for each ride
More Castle Wall work
Vertical construction has begun on the old Skyway area
Looks like Rapunzel’s tower to me 😉
For the nerd in your family, anything on this shelf will do
The Crow’s Nest is closed! The sign is down… it would be a shame to lose one of the park’s oldest shops, formerly sponsored by Kodak…. We’ll keep an eye on this
Wendell!
Not sure what happened here
Skyway construction visible from across the park
Work continues on the Main Street Bakery
I still think this has something to do with Starbucks…
Package Pick-Up still behind tarps as well
As is The Confectionary and the Chapeau
Looks like the Snow White poster is finally down and now Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom has its own poster
Big Thunder Mountain is on the maps now… I can’t remember the last time that happened
WDWNT Reporter Adam Roth has been all over the Disney Parks this weekend. Here are some assorted photos (that don’t include his 400 from New Fantasyland) he took at the Magic Kingdom and Epcot:
Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom shirts available at Sir Mickey’s
Work continues on the restrooms going in at the old Skyway site
Yankee Trader still behind tarps
Weird…
Rock-work appearing
FastPass Plus still installed at Haunted Mansion
The Magic Kingdom is getting ready for RFID park entry
We believe that the purpose of the steel truss at the park entrance is a test for a new possible exit
Cast members have been routing guests leaving the park through wider gates in the center and counting off the guests exiting
A weird test, but they want to see if it allows better guest flow
The Grand Floridian DVC wing off in the distance
The Magic Kingdom parking entrance has been completely repainted
Looks nice, but the letters are still missing
Moving to Epcot, FastPass Plus installed at Turtle Talk with Crush
FastPass Plus installed for Seas with Nemo and Friends ride
Hops and Barley got a sign to help guests find it
It’s hidden in the back of the American Adventure
Disney Parks wine is celebrating 1 year
Work continues on Test Track
Neat…
We can start to make out changes in the facade
A circular shape is starting to jut out from the existing facade
COOL WASH!
Looks like new banners are about to be hung up on the canopy
Here’s what is left of the Epcot 30th anniversary merchandise
Some work going on in Innoventions central
I don’t think they are taking down the canopy
It doesn’t reach The Electric Umbrella
Kim Possible was here…
Habit Heroes is still closed
FastPass Plus installed at Spaceship Earth
Seems like overkill for a merge point
We end with the friendliest buildings on earth… they share a door…
WDWNT Reporter Dirk Wallen visited the Magic Kingdom and Epcot on Tuesday and he has some newsworthy photos to share with us from his trip:
A strange large canopy has appeared near the Magic Kingdom turnstiles… Not sure if it is RFID related or for something else…
Magic Carpets of Aladdin is open while some exterior work is being done
The Yankee Trader is still behind tarps
A view of the new walkway and restroom area from the front of the Haunted Mansion
A look at the former Skyway site
Princess Fairytale Hall construction
The Crow’s Nest is still behind walls
Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom shirts are now available and they offer aid in the playing of the game!
OK… if you are buying more than that for Ebay, you are pretty dumb as they are not a limited edition item…
Frankenweenie flopped at the box office, but the shops at the parks are full of movie merchandise
It’s like they knew what the box office would be like…
I would expect to see all this stuff at the outlets and Cast Connection very soon…
Work continues on the Grand Floridian Disney Vacation Club wing
It is now set for a late-2013 opening
The parking lot is almost done
Moving over to Epcot, work is being done on Innoventions Plaza and the Electric Umbrella exterior
Test Track is now set to open December 6th
I expect these signs to vanish soon…
The Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom Booster Packs were released today at the Emporium for $11.95. In case you are not up to speed, you can find a ton of SotMK info and a downloadable checklist on our SotMK Explained page. The booster pack offers a take home version of the popular interactive theme park game. The packs contain 7 cards (including 1 Super Rare 61-70 card), 1 Key Card, game tokens, game rules, a checklist and one of four Villains game boards. This was a very low-key release, yet word from numerous sources say they sold out by noon! I have heard they will have more some time next week. Just FYI, you had to ask for them at the register, they were not on a display. The register was the one in the corner closest to the door on the side of the Firehouse.
If you follow us on Twitter (@VinylmationNews) or DestinationVinylmation in Instagram, you were among the first to see pictures of what is inside. Here is a better look:
The checklist is a beautiful full color sheet that features a thumbnail of all 70 cards. Next to the thumbnail, is the symbol for the rarity designation: Star = Rare, Moon = Uncommon, Circle = Common, Lightning Bolt = Super Rare. On the left side is a column that shows all four Villains game boards.
The game board features one of Villains on there front and a map of one of the four lands that have playable portals inside the Magic Kingdom on the back. The artwork for the Villains matches the beautiful style found on all the cards that make these a nice collectible. The game board also has the Villains attributes as well as all the numbered spaces you need to play the game at home.
The pack also has two sheets full of home game rules. The rules seem to play out like your average card game of this type. The basic object of the game is to get the Villain’s power level to “0.” Each player, up to four, needs a minimum of 7 cards for the game to work properly. But before you think you need to buy a bunch of booster packs, remember, you can get your 5 free cards per day at the Firehouse.
Each player takes a turn getting attacked by the Villain then attacking the Villain and can be helped out, or Boosted, by fellow players. If a Villains gets a player down to “0”, the player is out of the game. The tokens are used to mark progress on the game board and are also flipped like coins to determine attack power.
A game like this is a nice option for guests that are just visiting the parks to continue the fun at home. It’s a great way for people who have a bunch of these cards and are not really “collecting” them to get some use out of them when they get home.
A game like this is not really my thing… I’ll stick to defeating Villains on the video screens around the park. I’m still a huge proponent of the game. I think it is fun, with fantastic animation. But more than that, it’s a build upon of what I think Walt was aspiring for his theme parks to be… an interactive experience that immerses the guests like no other. All that being said, the game boards add another collectible piece to the SotMK puzzle and it’s the perfect way to finally complete the Super Rare 10 card series.
Here’s a quick photo update from around the Magic Kingdom from a few days ago, courtesy of Reporter Robert Ashburn:
Grand Floridian DVC construction continues
Another new poster up at Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom
Work continues on the Bakery facade
Storybook Circus has some great lighting at night
The blue light is a little strange… did Aliens arrive at the station?
The rocket has lighting to go along with the smoke
Someone got a new profile pic…
Another new poster popped up at the station
Dumbo looks fantastic at night!
Color changing LED lighting under the water really adds a whole new element at night
Just a friendly reminder… OR ELSE!
Guests playing Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom
OK, if you have to wait in line to play, it completely defeats the purpose… you see your whole story play before you even get near the window, and to be honest, as fun as it is, it isn’t worth waiting any length for. Sorry, I won’t play when lines are like this… it’s not worth it for a screen…
Cool new Phineas and Ferb shirts
Some new shirts
A Dole Whip shirt? Really? It’s nice though…
Shirts for Churros and Turkey Legs, wow…
Oh, there you are Perry…
We might be here a while… you run ahead…

Ep. 085 Blackout This week we of course talk about the price hike for Star Wars 2. We also discuss the new series, I Love Mickey and run down the silent auction catalog for Mickey’s Circus. Park 10 is reviewed. The Mystery Mail Bag is also full of great questions and comments. And if you listen to the end, you might learn some physics! |
WDWNT Reporter Josh Siegel visited the Magic Kingdom on Sunday to complete his Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom quest and he took some newsworthy photos from his trip to share with us:

DEFEATED!

Hades isn’t happy
He’s trapped…
All of the Villains are stuck in a snowglobe
