This event is so cute, I love it!!!
For those trying to earn more gems: I had 1,002 gems (all earned) at the start of the Alice event. I got both premium characters, the float, and the premium ride, all paid with gems. I started the Snow White event with 940 gems, so I pretty much earned all those gems back in this timeframe. The biggest earner has definitely been parades. The more open slots, the more likely you are to earn gems from a parade. It took me about 6 months to build up enough gems to feel comfortable opening the 5th slot. Usually I get at least 5 every other day...a few times I’ve lucked out and gotten 15 on a single parade. I don’t know if I’ll open the 6th slot because I’m doing pretty well as it is. Now, in terms of main storyline premium content I only have Pluto, his house and the spinning wheel, and I am totally fine with that. If you need to have everything then you are definitely going to need to spend a little money at some point.
