Anyone else thinking this might actually be the end for DMK? I feel like, if they are indeed wrapping up the Maleficent story line, that could easily just be the "end" of the game. I know there's more land and a whole other section to unlock, but it wouldn't be the first time a game closes up shop before the full board is available. Disney Enchanted Tales shut down with characters in the middle of stories and I think only a third of the board available, and that was only a year ago.
This could just be them introducing a new piece of game play - the Patch Notes say Maleficent might be responsible for some "missing dreams," so it might be some kind of nega-version of the wishes system - but I wouldn't be surprised if at the end they say "and once you beat her, congratulations you beat the game! It's done now!"
I would be VERY surprised though if the game decides to go the "Once Upon a Time" route and dispel the curse, only to find a different witch has placed the same curse on the same areas for only slightly different reasons. Yes I'd be super excited for a water world where Little Mermaid, Nemo, and PotC could really make sense, but at this point I'm kinda thinking we're never going to see what's really beyond that gate.
