It's a wonderful world.

Why is Sofia driving the coach? At least she's had some practice since The Curse of Princess Ivy.

Strangely, James going to Ever Realm Academy doesn't bother me as much as it probably should. Back at the school fair, the fairies did say the students could change their mind anytime, so I am just going to accept that that is what happened with James

"Time to Shine" isn't bad. I'm actually impressed!

Zane is an attention stealer! He is just so adorable!

The race was a very interesting way to start school, and it had some amusing parts.

Pepper is pretty cute! I like his pop talk to Sofia.

I like Devin. He reminds of so many characters like Draco Malfoy, who just think they are SO important. And did he pick the unicorn for his castle's pet just because she was the most magical choice? Mmm,

I enjoyed seeing Rapunzel. I'm very interested in what she was talking about. And I thought it was funny that she gave Sofia a frying pan. That was probably my favorite part of the episode.

Maybe I should be upset that the Protector storyline MIGHT not be continued. But I have accepted it. This new show is for an entirely new generation of kids, so I can understand why some things aren't being addressed right away, if ever. I do appreciate all the callbacks that are in these episodes.

Amber sounds horrible!!!

Maybe I'm being a little harsh, but OMG! Why did they do that to Amber? She was one of the best singers in the original show! But her first song in Royal Magic is just awful. Who cares if Darcy sounds older? Amber is supposed to be 12 or 13 at this point, so she shouldn't sound so young. I know this wasn't Craig's doing, so I'm not blaming him. Amber deserves to sing with her powerful, beautiful voice, and I don't want to hear her sing again unless they fix this error.

And wow! Did you see Miss Nettle's new look? It's so different.

And did you see that portrait in the background of the scene of Miranda, Sofia, and Cedric? It looks like Queen Lorelei. That's an awesome callback!
