Bubble Witch 1: A Game for All Ages

Bubble Witch 1 is a popular puzzle game developed by King, the same creators of Candy Crush Saga. The game was released in October 2011 and quickly gained traction among mobile gamers. It is available for both iOS and Android devices. In Bubble Witch 1, players take on the role of a witch named Stella, who is on a mission to save her enchanted world from the evil Wilbur. To do this, players must complete levels by popping bubbles strategically. The gameplay of Bubble Witch 1 is similar to other bubble shooter games.

Turn an ear and listen if you will: That's the moment when an ensorcelled lock finally unlocks, a mystical door creaks open, and a new array of choices glimmer, like so much pretty pixie dust, before you.

It really depends on how often you ll visit the Anaheim theme parks, whether you d like discounts on food and merchandise, and if having your parking covered, or partially covered, by your pass is important to you. The former annual passes were retired earlier in 2021, but the Disneyland magic-makers vowed to create a fresh way to frequently call upon both The Happiest Place on Earth and Disney California Adventure.

The gameplay of Bubble Witch 1 is similar to other bubble shooter games. Players aim and shoot colored bubbles to match three or more of the same color, causing them to pop and disappear. The objective is to clear all the bubbles on the screen to advance to the next level.

Magic Keys (all 4) going back on sale tomorrow, April 11.

I wonder how long the lower 3 levels will last. I believe the inspire key has continued to remain on sale since the last round in January.

It is odd to start selling those again now, considering how close summer is and all the blackout dates. Not a great value to buy one now.

What are your dates? You won't be able to upgrade into a pass that is blocked out during your visit, I don't think. I doubt they will still all be on sale by summer.

From what I can see with my dates of travel this year is that I want to go in December and on the weekends during peak times so the incredipass is the only option for me. I would rather just get the single day tickets. Maybe they will eventually redo the blockout dates, but all of them seem really restrictive, why pay the $1000's?

Sorry, I looked at both resort annual passes, Yes I meant the inspire key. The believe key still had some dates blocked out during the times we would go, I still can't believe the inspire key has Christmas week blocked and it is $1599

This coming holiday season will be year 2 with the top pass being blocked that week so I am not expecting changes to block out dates at this point.

It's a great value for locals at that price. We don't do the parks Christmas week anyway. No loss. I've more than gotten my money's worth with our family's Inspire keys. We have done 19 visits and still have 4 more months to go in our passes. It doesn't make sense for non locals who aren't parking at the parks frequently.

Looks like the Believe Key has added more block out dates the week before Thanksgiving. Looks like park hoppers with Genie+ for me instead!

I think all of the added blockout dates are definitely to control crowds, but also to somewhat discourage non locals to buy passes. They added a ton of blackout dates for believe.

I'm in the same boat. We had APs for years and an Enchant key the first year, but we let it lapse due to block out dates. We own at VGC and go probably 3 times a year for 4+/- days--all of those are over weekends and some on holidays, including Christmas every few years. It used to make sense for us to have APs and the last year before the pandemic we had Signature Plus. Now with all the block out dates and the block on Christmas, I can't justify it.

An inspire key requires 4+ trips of 4-5 days for us. I priced out tickets at UT, and our two trips next year that I know about would be about $880 per person for 9 days of park hoppers. We don't park and we have discounts for DVC so it's all about the parks for us.

I wish there was something Disney would do for non-locals. I think they are leaving money on the table with people like me who go multiple times and if we had passes would be likely to go more often.

UT tickets here I come! (And you can get Genie+ added with those so you don't have to deal with it at 7 am).

Does the blockout calendar change at all? Looking at an Enchant key but am on the fence, if the blockout calendar for January 2024 stays the same I am good but I'm not sure if they can add more blockout days later?

Disney World is releasing a pass for DVC. I haven’t done the math… would be interesting to see if it’s worthwhile for DVC.

Topics like monthly payment plans (available to California residents), upgrading an existing theme park ticket, and how to reserve once you're holding a pass.

Reviews for "Bubble Witch 1 and Microtransactions: A Closer Look at In-Game Purchases"

- John - 2 stars - The graphics of Bubble Witch 1 are extremely outdated and unappealing. The gameplay is also very repetitive and lacks any kind of challenge. The levels feel like they are all the same with minor variations. Overall, I was very disappointed with this game and would not recommend it to anyone looking for an enjoyable gaming experience.

- Sarah - 1 star - Bubble Witch 1 is just another generic bubble shooter game with no unique features or exciting elements. The controls are clunky and unresponsive, making it frustrating to play. Additionally, the game constantly bombards you with ads, interrupting the already dull gameplay. Save your time and skip this one.

- Michael - 2 stars - I found Bubble Witch 1 to be quite boring and uninspiring. The puzzles are too easy and hardly require any strategy. The power-ups and special bubbles do little to add depth to the gameplay. The only redeeming feature of this game is the cute witch character. However, that alone is not enough to make up for the lackluster gameplay.
