If only we had the paintbrushes. The one Made with Magic product I would actually purchase.

They were definiteyl paying attention to the success of the interactive wands at the Harry Potter "lands" at Universal. Plus Disney now also has "Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom".cards and portals.in the Magic Kingdom. Have no idea who thought of them first, but all are great fun and bring out the inner wizard in you if you are not always interested in trying to cram in as many rides and attractions as possible.

↩ replying to Nick_AWe have the magic wands that work the exact same way as the paintbrushes.

We picked up a couple of the paintbrushes in DL this summer and my kids loved them. They felt somewhat "powerful" as they walked by other guests and changed the colors of their MwM Mickey ears. I'm assuming that their DL brushes will work in WDW...we'll be packing them for our upcoming trip.

I still hope thet implement it with Illuminations...I think it would be pretty neat.

This kind of interactive stuff is cool! Although I think I'd like that wand better if Mickey's amputated arm weren't attached to it... :P

↩ replying to Magenta PantherIt's kind of like they want us to be reminded of something that was attached to some big geosphere...But, that's crazy..While I do want the wand...I wish they also sold the Paintbrush.

So what will they interact with in WS?

↩ replying to peter11435Except the wands are hideous looking.

↩ replying to GrammieBeeDisney had them on the cruise ships back in 2011/12... And magi quest which most people move from great Wolf Lodge goes all the way back to 2005. Not a new idea, but everyone is putting their own twist on things and rolling more of them out. I don't think this is a case of Disney copying Harry Potter here, besides the whole merchandising angle

↩ replying to GrammieBeeLike Butterbeer vs. Lefou's Brew, if that's the case, it's a battle Disney won't win. There's an emotional connection between Potter fans and wands (and Butterbeer). They're both prominent parts of the stories. No such connection between Disney fans and Lefou's Brew and a wand that isn't half as cool or neat looking as its west coast cousin.

It may not win any battle versus Potter, but darnit I love these hats! Should get myself one when I'm down there in a few years :p

A recent video from the Disney Parks blog sort of shows what the "Key Elements" of using the said Made with Magic items do while in World Showcase....
A bunch of people were confused by the video on the blog and many asked what they did in World Showcase...
Then I found this quote from Steven Miller in regards to what they do that someone asked......
And someone also asked if it will work with Illuminations...His reply..
So there's your answer folks on what they exactly do...
