Fall into Harvest Fest!

Pandanda's 3rd Annual Harvest Festival has begun! When you log in today, you will see harvest decorations all over Pandanda land. You will also notice caramel apples popping up. Make sure to click on every one you see, so you can add them to your collection.

When you have at least 25 caramel apples, pay a visit to the Scarecrow in Harvest Grove to trade them for his prizes. You can even visit the Scarecrow before you have any apples, if you just want to check out what his prizes are.

And make sure you have your music turned on, so you can hear the cool tunes that are playing especially for the Festival. If the music makes you want to dance, head on over to East Market Street. There is a dance-floor set up there, and fresh apple cider from the apple press if you get thirsty!

Get out there and have fun!

Happy Summer Festival 2012!

Hey Friends!

I paid an evening visit to Pandanda to see how everyone was enjoying the first day of the Summer Festival. Wow, some of you are super pineapple collectors - I saw lots of pandas already wearing some of the prizes from Kapono!

As you can see from the picture above, I've got to get busy collecting pineapples! I can't wait to get my own Roman toga and helmet, and all the other cool prizes. Maybe I'll see you in Pandanda as we hunt for pineapples!

I know everyone is anxious for some new clothes for the summer. Never fear, the Clothing Catalog will be updated with awesome summer fashions within the next week. Just be patient a little while longer!

Party on, tropical style!

Summer Festival is Almost Here!

Ooh, I can sense the excitement building in Pandanda land for the start of the Summer Festival tomorrow! The Pandanda citizens are preparing to turn Pandanda into a tropical paradise, filling up wagons with sand to create beaches in surprising places, and Kapono is getting ready to take his place at the Fishing Hole with his super Summer Festival prizes.

How will you get those prizes? Easy! Just look for summer pineapples to pop up all over Pandanda (except in treehouses), and collect the pineapples by clicking on them. When you have collected enough pineapples, pay Kapono a visit to trade them for his prizes!

Fun in the sun, exclusive prizes, music to dance to, and even an extra Quest each day to help you reach your Quest goal even faster - it's going to be an awesome Summer Festival! See you there!

Party on, Pandas!

Zing Ballyhoo is Back!

Hooray! Our traveling friend Zing Ballyhoo has returned to Pandanda with his Golden Tickets and trunk full of exciting prizes. His last visit was a short one, but this time Zing will be here for 4 weeks, with a different cool prize each week!

You can find Zing's Golden Tickets all over Pandanda, except in tree houses. Once you have collected10 tickets, visit Zing at his blue and gold tent at Treehouse Lobby to exchange your tickets for one of his prizes. Remember, you can only choose one Zing prize each week, so make your choice carefully! You can find out how many tickets you have collected by clicking on the Golden Ticket icon near the top right of your screen.

If you just can't wait to find out what Zing's first prize is, why don't you pay a visit to Carina's Pandanda Cheats blog. Carina1998 was the first blogger to post Zing's prize this morning. That's some dedication! I also saw that luangatao wasted no time getting Zing's prize. He posted about it in his blog Pandanda Novidades just a few hours after Carina1998. Congratulations to both of those bloggers and their blogs for super-speedy reporting!

Can you believe this is the last day of April? Wow, this year is going by so quickly! May is going to be full of fun, with Cinco de Mayo, more Zing prizes, and Pandanda Games Day already scheduled. Be on the lookout for more awesome events to be scheduled soon!

Party on, Pandas!

Zing Ballyhoo is On His Way!

I bet you've already noticed that Zing Ballyhoo's gold and blue tent has been set up at Treehouse Lobby. I'm sure Questy is looking forward to having Zing back as a neighbor!

When Zing arrives on Monday, he will hide his Golden Tickets all over Pandanda for you to find. Once you have 10 Golden Tickets, you can visit Zing at his tent at Treehouse Lobby to exchange them for one of his fantastic prizes!

I wonder what cool things Zing has brought for us this time? I guess we will all find out tomorrow! Happy hunting for Golden Tickets!

Egg Hunt Almost Over!

Happy Monday, Panda Pals!

The Easter Egg Hunt ends today, so you still have a chance to collect eggs! Make sure to trade them to the Easter Bunny at West Market Street as soon as you can, because once he hops out of Pandanda, he will take all of the eggs and his prizes with him. Don't miss out!

Let's keep the fun going this week with a wonderful Wacky Wednesday! Get dressed in your craziest, silliest, most miss-matched outfit! I challenge you to come up with something really wacky to say. Check out this picture from KiddTokYo during Wacky Wednesday in January:

On Wacky Wednesday, take a picture of you and your friends dressed in wacky outfits and saying something wacky, then send the picture to me at screenshots@pandanda.com, with WACKY in the subject line. I will choose the wackiest, funniest pictures to put in my Blog!

Party on, Pandas!

The Hunt Has Begun!

The big, pink Easter Bunny has finally arrived, scattering and hiding Easter Eggs all over Pandanda (except in treehouses). He has settled himself on West Market Street, and is ready to trade some awesome prizes for the Easter Eggs you collect!

You can also now buy pandaNUNU's winning Spring Theme Player Card Background! Look for it in the clothing catalog at Clothing Co. on East Market Street. Make sure to say "Congrats" to pandaNUNU if you run into her on Pandanda!

Happy Hunting!

Annual Pandanda Easter Egg Hunt Starts Friday!

Hey there, Panda Pals!

Each year, spring brings warmer weather, fresh green grass, and beautiful flowers. And in Pandanda, spring also brings the Easter Bunny! Yes, that giant pink Bunny will be back in Pandandaland this Friday, hiding brightly colored eggs all over the place (except in treehouses).

Then the fun really begins! Collect as many eggs in your basket as you can, then visit E.Bunny in West Market Street to trade them for his springtime prizes! I wonder what surprises he will have for us this year? I guess we will all find out on Friday!

I'm hopping with excitement!

It's Friendship Festival Time!

A circle's round, it has no end.
That's how long I will be your friend!

The 2nd Annual Pandanda Friendship Festival has finally begun! Rainbow-colored friendship bracelets are scattered all over Pandanda for you to find and collect. Visit Lucy at the Fishing Hole to check out her selection of cool prizes, and when you've collected enough bracelets, you can trade them to her for a prize!

This is also a great time to get ahead on your Quests, because there are 2 extra Quests each day, for a total of 11 daily Quests. The extra Quests have a cool friendship theme that I think you will enjoy.

Along with the heavy snow that has returned, the Friendship Festival has some of my favorite decorations of the whole year! There are so many nice places to hang out, sit, and chat with your friends old and new. And if you don't feel like chatting you can just listen to the Festival music and enjoy the scenery.

.....Hello 2012!

Happy New Year Everyone!

I hope the first day of 2012 was a great one for you all! I really had fun visiting on Pandanda today. Hanging out with my friends was an awesome way to start the new year!

Make sure to get your New Year 2012 Party Hat from the catalog at the Clothing Co. on East Market Street. It is what all the stylish pandas are wearing this year!

Have you gotten all of Chilly's prizes for the Winter Festival yet? You still have two days to collect Stocking Stuffers and trade them to Chilly at West Market Street for prizes. Don't wait until the last minute! Chilly will leave Pandanda sometime before midnight Pandanda time on Tuesday, January 3rd.

Here are some pictures from my New Year's Day visits. Enjoy!

Thanksgiving Week is Coming!

Hello Panda Pals! Next week is Thanksgiving Week in Pandanda. I know a lot of you will be out of school for at least part of the week, and some of you even get the whole week off! That is certainly one of many things to be thankful for!

When you log into Pandanda during Thanksgiving Week, there will be a cool Thanksgiving gift for you to get. I hope you'll get to spend extra time with your Pandanda friends, and talk about the things you are thankful for.

Zing will also have his second prize available on Monday. You still have two days to get his first prize, an awesome silver necklace with  moon, heart, and star charms. Just collect 10 Golden Tickets, then visit Zing at his tent in the Tree House Lobby to exchange your tickets for his prize.

And make sure to mark your calendar for another fun Free Elite Member Day next Saturday, November 26th. For one full day, everyone can enjoy the privileges for Elite Membership for free! It is a great way to give Elite Membership a try!

Party on, Pandas!

Pumpkin Festival Has Begun!

 

The Pumpkin Festival is happening now! There are so many cool things to see and do! Paige has Haunted Potions so you can turn yourself into a ghost! You can buy jack-o'-lanterns from Farmer Ned at Harvest Grove to decorate your treehouse. And have you seen all of the awesome new clothes and accessories at the Clothing Co? 

You can find Draco the Ghost in the Parlour with new Quests for you. A secret entrance to the Parlour has been added somewhere in Pandanda. Have you found it yet?

And don't forget about the candy! All over Pandanda (except in treehouses) you can find Halloween candy. Make sure to pick it up when you see it. The candy will go in your pumpkin basket on the right side of your screen, where it will show how many pieces of candy you have collected. Then head over to West Market Street to visit the Cauldron of Prizes to trade your candy for some really excellent prizes!

Visiting the Cauldron of Prizes on West Market St.

This is just the first day of the Pumpkin Festival. It will continue until November 3rd, so you have plenty of time to collect candy and enjoy the Festival!

Party on, Pandas!

Harvest Festival Begins Tomorrow!

Yes, it is that time again - time for the 2nd Annual Pandanda Harvest Festival!  The Festival starts tomorrow, August 23rd, and ends on Monday, September 5th. I think the Harvest Festival is one of my favorite Pandanda festivals. I am always so happy when the temperature starts to get a little cooler after the summer, and the Harvest Festival is a super way to celebrate!

There will be special decorations and music all over Pandanda for you to enjoy as you collect caramel apples. Mmmm, caramel apples!! But these apples aren't for eating, oh no! When you have enough, you can go to Harvest Grove to trade them for special Harvest Festival prizes.

Make sure to visit the Clothing Co., too! There will be 2 new items for sale that can be bought with Panda Gold.

While you are waiting for the Harvest Festival to begin., check out the Beach Party Photo Album on Facebook. It will be a great way to remember the summer fun we had in Pandanda!

I've also put up an easy new Poll - What is your favorite season of the year? Make sure to vote!
