Once you enter the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World, don't be in such a hurry to hustle down toward the castle. Nope Pay a visit to the Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom starting point located by the Firehouse. Here you'll join Merlin's group of apprentice Sorcerers and be instructed on how to defeat Hades.
You'll receive a map to help you find the Mystic Portals as well as a pack of cards, one pack per person.
You may come back every day for a new pack, and there is a bit of card trading with cast members also available. Special cards are released for some special events, such as Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party.
Have a few minutes to spare before a fast pass or want to finish that ice cream before getting on a ride? You can complete a challenge in that time.
Look for the large bronze portal embedded by a portal. The key holder (one member of your party which you pick at the beginning of the day) places their magic Band on the keyhole and voila, the challenge begins.
Based on clues as to which card will work, you aim your card at the portal to either get further instructions or conquer a villain.
As seen on the map, these training locations are found on Main Street U.S.A., Fantasyland, Adventureland, Liberty Square and Frontierland.
Did I mention this is FREE? This is a lot of un for all ages, in fact I noticed many adults participating, with no children in sight.
Don't we all want to be Sorcerers?
