Disney Emoji Blitz: Heroes of Hope Card Event - 1st Play Through Diamond Box Result

 
As I was missing quite a few from this Diamond Box, not surprising I got a new emoji (Sabine Wren) from the Diamond Box on the first play through. I'm not into Star Wars, so probably won't try to get through a second time. Mainly just going for the tokens and there aren't any more to get after the first map of the 2nd play through.

I reached Level 8 of the March Magic Token Quest today.

The prize was not a surprise to me as I had 2 of the emojis in this March Magic Choice Box already maxed, but as Sorcerer Mickey is my favorite Disney character I was still looking forward to this level's prize.

Now my Platinum Sorcerer's Apprentice Mickey is halfway to Level 3.

Disney Emoji Blitz: My March 2024 Stardust Challenge 3rd Prize Results

For the reaching the 3rd prize in the Stardust Challenge that ends on March 14, I wished for Lady Tremaine, the Elements Box (haven't unlocked one of these Diamond Box Exclusive Gold emojis, yet), and Rainbow Box (a chance for an extra Gummi was most appealing from the options).

I ended up with the Rainbow Box and getting Cave of Wonders, which leveled it up to Level 2.
