Premium characters and attractions are unlocked using Gems, which are earned by leveling up characters, completing character collections, or viewing daily announcements. Players can earn Magic and Experience by sending characters on quests and tasks, and sometimes Tokens to unlock or level up characters. Progressing through the storyline the player unlocks more characters and attractions. Occasionally, Merlin appears as a guide to advance the story. When Maleficent casts an evil spell on the Kingdom, ridding it of all its powerful magic, the players have to help it get back, creating their own park. Mickey Mouse is the protector of the Kingdom. The game takes place in the Kingdom, a place primarily based on Magic Kingdom and Disneyland. The game was officially launched on March 17, 2016. It is themed off the Walt Disney Parks & Resorts. Part of the Game is to build the Attractions of the Disney Parks.Disney Magic Kingdoms is a 2016 city-building game developed and published by Gameloft for iOS, Android, and Windows. Currently the maximum character level for any character is 10, with the exception of Maleficent and Merlin, who are not characters available in the player's character book (though Merlin was later added to the characters in a recent update). Each level up will require more tokens, more magic, and more time than the previous level up. These are obtained by completing quests, buying with elixir, and winning in chests. After unlocking a character, each character can level up by collecting the 'tokens' to do so.

Premium characters do not affect the overall storyline, but will begin to have their own quests after being unlocked. Unlocking most characters costs magic, while unlocking premium 'extra' characters cost gems. Though the characters available in the game are limited, each character has a storyline that you can play through quests.

To expand the park, the player has to undo a curse cast upon by Maleficent, as shown by the dark areas in the park. The game is basically the "tycoon" formula, where you get to design a theme park similar to the Magic Kingdom from Walt Disney World.

It was announced at D23 Expo 2015, and is produced by Gameloft. Disney Magic Kingdoms is a mobile game in which you can build your own virtual Disney Parks with attractions around the world.
