How will I get Ariel then...
23 days to go and I’m losing hope that I will get the last character this time. I am just about to finish Scuttle’s first 6-hour task and my heart is already breaking by the thought of not being able to get Ariel and her mermaid form.

It is really hard to get the character if you don't have the premium stuff. Which is why I save all my gems for the events. But you can always buy character tokens with gems. Click on the Welcome button and a popup will tell you how much it costs to buy the remaining tokens. So if the event starts winding down and you don't have enough tokens, look at how many gems you have and how much the gem packs cost.

Also, when we get into the 2nd half of the event there will be, as I previously mentioned, a bundle of the building + 2nd character for $6.99. You still have to hope for a good drop rate, and play regularly as opposed to just buying the tokens. Yes, it sucks to pay real money, but if it's only for your favorite character and you only do it once or twice, there are worse things you can spend $15 on.

I'm currently P4 on my leaderboard on the Scrumps. I don't see any around right now. How often do they come out, or how do you know they'll be out? I'm trying to pay attention while making breakfast, getting dressed, etc. Looks like time is up at 10 am CDT.

ETA: I made it! Never saw any more Scrumps but finished P4 in my group and got 3 "Radiant Chests." The only "good" thing I got out of them was a set of Sebastian ears I needed to level him up, but I'm still excited! This was my first time to play one of these events and I didn't even really know what I was doing until last night. (I was on the game for the recent Pirate/crab thing but didn't know how to - or couldn't - do it.)

It is hard without the premium characters! I didn’t give a crap about Big Hero so didn’t spend any gems on any characters. I didn’t finish that event. I’m missing 3 characters from that set. I also didn’t spend gems on premium characters for lilo and stitch, but ended up spending gems to get stitch at the very end.

After the two Draw Ursula Out tasks, we can build Ariel's Grotto. It is 4,500 EC and takes six hours to build. Not too big, at 8x10.

I have Eric. And I have probably saved enough gems to buy Flounder or the Under the Sea attraction. Which one do you think will be more beneficial on this event?

 

[AJGolden1013]

Someone mentioned dinglehoppers. When do those get released again? After what task? I finished the grotto and I’ve got a side task with Eric and a main task with Sebastian. I haven’t seen anything about dinglehoppers, but someone a page or two back said they had 5

Based on the last event ... If you buy the 1st Premium character then you need the Premium building.

For BH6 Yokai + GoGo + Premium Building to earn Baymax's chip

But most people prefer to have the 2nd character, which can also earn the last token in conjunction with another character

For BH6 Hiro + Fred = Baymax chip

But if you want to have all 3 choices to earn the last token then you need all 3 Premium options.

They came way early. I got them at different times in my games. I don't know if my airline flight, and playing offline delayed getting the prompts in my IOS game. First I got a "gift" of one, and then I could earn them, starting after I think getting the prompt to Welcome Scuttle. At that point I got a task that says collect 20 of them (the image is of a fork). I have 7 of them in IOS and 5 in Windows.

The second Ariel token is a Snarfblatt (pipe), and I assume we will get the sometime in the progression of Scuttle's tasks up to Welcoming Triton.

If you don't have the forks, I'd restart your app, restart your device, and if that doesn't work, get on Gameloft support.

Can we address for a moment how dumb Ariel is in being confused by a fork when her dad swims around with trident, a thing that is essentially a GIANT FORK?

 

[xthebowdenx]

I have had zero net drops from Scuttle in 5 attempts. What the heck?

 

[Windwaker4444]

Dang Ursula and her 2 for 1 crabs. I was really hoping we'd skip this part. Oh well, time to save up some nets.

From the Scrump mini event, I won a bench and 2 light posts. I was really hoping for the toy trident concession. Maybe next time....

Dang Ursula!!!

 

[supernova]

I hate to think what the Kelp Flowers will require.

If history repeats itself, and so far it has, the final items are usually two-character joint tasks.

After the two Draw Ursula Out tasks, we can build Ariel's Grotto. It is 4,500 EC and takes six hours to build. Not too big, at 8x10.

It also gives conductor books every 4 hours. It’s possibly 6? I didnt pay attention when I built it, so I only have a The progress bar to go by, but pretty sure it’s 4 hours

I have Eric. And I have probably saved enough gems to buy Flounder or the Under the Sea attraction. Which one do you think will be more beneficial on this event?

I you have to choose, I would always go with the character first, especially if said building does not produce any items.

At this point, I think we can safely forget about skipping anything from past events. The lazy-*** interns seem to be reusing all of the coding. Same characters and same tasks to collect EC, same collection methods for items. We have hit a rut, folks.

 

[Haley R]

So it might be just Sebastian and scuttle for me. Should I be doing their quests or having them collect dinglehoppers? I can’t decide which one is more important.

Well if you have to have crabs to get her, than she is evil! Or is she the one that gives players crabs.

Shoot!!! (keeping it G rated for the boards) I’m about 12 hours behind from finishing the 8 hour Sebastian quest, because the interns do not know how write. I didn’t start the “Seeking a Sea King” quest last night, because in its description said Send Sebastian & Ariel to talk in her Grotto. They really need to proofread stuff better.

Do I you remember what task though? I’m a little bit behind and I feel like you are the only one to have mentioned it, so I’m very curious. I still have to send Sebastian to talk to Ariel about something so I feel like maybe that will unlock it. Currently when I tap on Ariel it says complete more quests to unlock this token, so maybe you just got there super early?

You said you completed Ariel's Grotto. I just completed this about 2 minutes ago. I've been able to collect forks since late Thursday.

Someone else said that the Snarfblatts unlock after completing the 8 hr Sebastian task that is available after building the Grotto. I just started this task.

EDIT: There is a thread on Reddit about people not having Dinglehoppers unlocked. In the thread, people mention a lot of people on Facebook having problems too. So there is likely a problem with your game and you should contact Gameloft support (or just wait for them to push a fix, but they will be more motivated the more people contact them in the first place)

Yep, I just messaged them to let them know that I never got the gift and where I’m at in the game,so hopefully they do something although they have a reputation of being unhelpful. Fingers crossed.

 

[hopemax]

So speaking of the 8 hr task for Sebastian after completing Ariel's Grotto...I noticed that in both my games that I don't have the option to skip with gems. I don't use gems to skip tasks, but there has been a lot of discussion regarding other people's use of gems to blow through tasks only to end up at the same wall non-gem users end up at, so is this new or is this normal? Have there always been event tasks that you can't gem your way through?
