Plot
Dylan, Daniel, Liz and Dylan's mother, Shari, go to New York City to meet with Shari's brother, Bob, who has decided to come home to New York from Paris. When they arrive in the city, they are haunted by a snow storm that has shut down all the flights from Paris to New York. After their taxi breaks down on Waverly Place, they decide to take shelter in the Waverly Sub Station.

Inside, they take a seat and are greeted by Justin Russo, who welcomes them to New York and asks them what they would like to eat. Before they can order, Alex Russo enters the room with Harper Finkle looking for Justin so he can "fix a problem" Alex has caused upstairs with their brother, Max Russo. Justin excuses himself to go upstairs, but Max comes flying down the stairs with blue skin and accidentally exposes the family as Wizards when he makes Harper vanish.

Dylan and Shari are stunned to see that magic exists, but Liz and Daniel are ecstatic. Alex threatens to destroy Max but Justin intervenes when Jerry Russo and Theresa Russo come down the stairs to check on the situation. Dylan and his family introduce themselves, acting like they have no idea that magic exists. Theresa and Shari bond and decide to tour the city together with Jerry, leaving the kids with Alex and Justin. Dylan promises to not reveal their secret but asks what happened to Harper. Max says that he made Harper vanish into the Wizard World. They all decide to go into the Wizard World to save Harper from Dr. Evilini, who escaped Wizard Jail to get revenge on the Russo's.

The Russo's and The Troy's arrive at Evilini's lair where they all must fight her to save Harper. Dylan tries to throw a rock at her but ends up hitting Harper instead. Alex gives Dylan, Liz and Daniel training wands so they can help defeat Evilini. After a long battle and Dylan almost losing his life, they defeat Evilini and save Harper. Coming back from the Wizard World, they decide to let the kids keep their memory of their new born friendship with the Russo's, but their memories of them being Wizards will be wiped from their minds, along with Shari's, until Jerry and Theresa walk in, telling them that they know what happened and that everyone's memories must be wiped. Justin does his spell, wiping the memory of Wizards from Dylan, Daniel, Liz and Shari.

In the end credits, the Troy's are hanging out with the Russo's when Professor Crumbs comes in, Dylan asks who Professor Crumbs is and Alex plays it off like Crumbs is the landlord of the building and takes him downstairs. The Troy's decide to go to their hotel and say goodbye to the Russo family.
