I started playing with this today. WOW! It's so neat. The only thing that I don't like is the really restrictive dictionary of approved words. It's frustrating that so many simple and non-threatening words are a problem.

Anyway, I would love to be playing right now, but it crashed for the 4th time on me in 20 minutes. I give up. Maggie

I am so jealous!!!!!!

Kelly that is what it does to me too. So I close it out and sign back in over and over that is how I got as far as I did which isn't very far....right now it is loading but I will probably get an error message in about 10 minutes...

All I have done so far is pick out my characters clothes, hair & skin tone and name my room....

My name is

Maleficnt and my room is underwater if I ever get to play.....

do you have Dial up, cable, or high speed?

I tried to register with my email address, but they said it's already been taken by somebody else! :earseek: How is that possible?

Then I registered with a completely FAKE email addy (theothervillainess@theothervillainess.com) and when I tried to get in, it kept saying there was an access problem. So I go to report the problem and I'm told they can't find my account.

So I gave up. It's not worth the hassle,IMO.

I have been attempting this game a few times. What is with the Jungle Cruise game? My boat is starting to be nearly out of gas as it is coming over to pick me up, and by the time I am through the first screen the gas is gone. It took me forever to find the camera to buy so I could take photos of the animals.....now I am on the cruise and I haven't seen ONE animal to take a photo of. I gave up and shut it down! LOL!

I have dial up, too, and I got the software download and got in last week. I managed to get a camera (I can't even tell you how) and I found 2 hidden Mickeys, then my connection went goofey and I could look from park to park, but my little girl just disappeared. I have not yet been back. :wave2:

I play over there as GrumpyKenobi. Be patient - the screens take a while the first time in each room. The Jungle Cruise provides you with a camera and film so you aren't using your "hidden mickey" film! The animals are really quick and if you hit the dock as the boat enters it takes away gas. And so do the boxes and all the other rocks! I am determined to get better at it!

Also when I tried to register it kept yelling at me - so I used my DisneyTokenZone name and password - it worked! I was already registered!

Feel free to ask me to be your friend over there if you see me. And I can help with hidden Mickeys too ;)

I have found that when you can't see your person an error is on its way. I never play the same game twice and make sure I leave the lobby as soon as my game is over. That seems to help.

Great moment - a bunch of us were hanging out at the fireworks lobby ( game was not working ) and one started to dance. Then I did. Soon all of us were facing forward dancing - it was a hoot! People just coming in thought we were an exercise class!

See you over there - keep trying! :goodvibes

After awhile, my boat disappeared and I just waited until my gas ran out. Then she came back and I was going to play again but I clicked in the water to try to make the boat move to avoid obsticals and a white box came up saying I had an error and to hit OK to restart. When I hit OK, the game shut down on me and I had to sign in and start over again.

Boy, I hope the regular version is better than Beta.

I don't think you are SUPPOSED to log out, I just go to another location ASAP. Tonight I was playing the Pirate game with Piratesmate ( who has a really cool room BTW - Captain's Mess ) and she said she never has that problem. So tomorrow I will have to report it. I think its because I can't hit the stinkin' ship! :rotfl2:

And we take so much for granted here don't we? I just have to get this off my chest:

NUMBER
DIRT
ONE
TWO
BOXWOOD
BUSH
BIRTHDAY
LIME
FRUIT

Honestly censorship is awful! Of course, it IS for kids ( safety first for sure ) and the adults are all over there playing. :rotfl: I came up with a way to say birthday....... "annual cake with lights event!"

Played Jungle Cruise tonight and went around the course 1 1/2 times! Hooray! No idea how I did it, but I did. Pay attention to where the birds and snakes pop up. They are worth more than the big animals.

And don't forget to daily click on these guys for extra coins:
Shrunken Ned's Head
the Dragon
the Yeti
the Pirate in the Treehouse
the FortuneTeller in the Emporium

mtblujeans

06-09-2005, 05:41 PM

OK....I played Jungle Cruise over and over again (I am a slowwww learner) and I finally got the controls all down pat. I found the Hiddlen Mickeys and got pics of them. Then, when I tried to go to the Pirate game, I guess my computer got tired and pulled out on me! I could not get into the Pirate game!

I wondered if we were supposed to sign out before we closed down to save everything we got each day!?! :confused3

While I was playing, everyone else was just as confused as I was!! Everyone would enter the area and ask what they were supposed to be doing there!! :teeth: At least my confusion is not lonely!!

I like it but I hope it gets easier to get in and stay in!!

Thanks for all your tips....I'll keep watching this thread for more as you are getting farther along in your expertise than I am pirate:

My son was on the other day and was looking at the 'popular room' list. One of the rooms has the word DIS in the name (sorry, don't remember what it was :blush: ) I told him to go to it and "MissBelle" was in there. I told him to ask her if she was on the DIS and she is. If anyone comes across "Goofy3000", it's my son. If you find "Colleen", it's me. :teeth: Has anyone noticed that some of the Disney character names are blocked? He was trying to tell "Belle" who I am over here and he was trying to tell I was the lady with Thumper. Even the word 'bunny' is blocked! :badpc: Oh yeah......."Mom" is blocked as well! :crazy:

I can get some of the buttons on the bottom of my screen to work, even tho' I can't see them. I had alot of trouble "communicating" with others. Sometimes my words came out as ###! I am hoping that's just the Beta problems (not my computer) and they will go away later! :rolleyes:

Last night I figured out you actually have to BE someplace for the bottom buttons to all work. Not looking down on the map, but standing in Main Street for example. Forgive me if I've said this before, I'm really tired and can't remember ( too much VMK at night ), but once you are in a store, double click on the cash register. That way you can make purchases from that store at any location. You dont have to go back to the original store all the time. I know there was something else I wanted to share but my mind is blank. I promise to write it down when I get home tonight and start playing.

eta: I remembered! To get to Frontierland ( which doesn't exist yet ) so you can go to Golden Horseshoe Store and to Tomorrowland ( also doesn't exist ) to go to Star Traders for the first time. Think of the actual park. Stand in Castle Gardens and to the left is the Frontierland sign. Just walk through and you are there. For Tomorrowland, go to the upper end of Main Street ( its got a name in the game, I forget ) and turn at the ice cream store across from the Crystal Palace. Using the real landmarks here, don't know if they are actually in the picture. Ok - am really leaving this time!

Apparently wandering seagulls are naughty little things too. I got frustrated trying to chat. I really got annoyed when I learned there isn't much to do there but wander around. Very few games. I hope they plan to add more because right now it's pretty boring. I too never figured out where to find a camera to take hidden mickey pics.

I think after the initial discovering of everything the appeal is to earn enough credits to buy rooms and furnish it with cool stuff. Since the target audience is really pre-teen the chatting in the rooms factor will rate pretty high! I wont be bored until I sink a darned pirate ship!

I haven't even looked at the rooms yet....been too busy wandering around looking for Hidden Mickeys! I am trying to remember how I got a camera....I can't remember.....I'll have to go back and look. I can't get in right now :guilty:

....Feel free to ask me to be your friend over there if you see me. And I can help with hidden Mickeys too....

How does that work? What happens when someone becomes "a friend"?

well i log in and nothing really happens it seems like it is loading but the screen stays blank....

Try clicking the "no" button when the box asks if you want to load the non-secure items. If I hit "yes", the screen stays black but if I hit "no", the game will begin loading.

I am BlueMinnie and am 34 and obsessed with this game!

The hidden mickey quest was fun and challenging. You can buy a camera at VMK Central (on Main Street) and click on the skull and crossbones. You can buy camera and film.

Like someone else said, once you do this, you can access that store from anywhere just by hitting the "shop" button.

The castle fireworks game is my current challenge, since I want to earn a pin that you can only get by getting over 200,000 AND NOT coming in first.

Jungle Cruise game is fun, too. Haven't gotten into Pirates yet, but my son has won all the way through the three levels to earn the invisibility pin.

The Music game lets you mix your own music and dance. This is fun when you get "friends" together to line dance.

And you earn credits every time you play a game, make or play music, click on the Yeti in the Matterhorn, Blackheart in the Pirate Treehouse, or Esmerelda in the Emporium.

You can buy pins, posters, or furnishings for your rooms. There are several DIS rooms, so whenever the creator of the room is "in" you can go in and chat with other DISers, see each others' rooms, or go play games or find hidden Mickeys together.

If you want to find the Mickeys on your own, stop reading.

Here is a list for those who need some help with their quest:

Main Street: by VMK sign
VMK: stage left
Central Plaza: bricks and topiary
Town Square: by Emporium sign and up on the platform
Monorail:front
Emporium: drapes and tarot
Music Party: roof and behind sign
Castle Forecourt: lower left tower
Fireworks Game lobby: right tower and tallest tower
Matterhorn: waterfall and over high tunnel

Adventureland Bazaar: POTC entrance
Jungle Cruise: pier and building
Explorer's Tent: rock and waterfall
Shrunken Ned's: pirate flag
Tiki: tunnel
Forbidden Temple: by chains and column
Lost Safari: shore and den
Elephant Pool: ruins
Pirate treehouse: on sail
Pirate's game: on sail

Fantasyland
Castle Gardens: good and evil
Storybook Gardens: treetop and ___________
Snow White hide and seek forest: tree over tunnel
Fasntasy in the Sky: top of the mountain
Dungeon: behind dragon's tail and over tunnel
Castle Spell Room: on table and wall over entrance
It's a Small World Emporium: crate and throne
Gallery: stained glass in two places
Banquet Hall: spider web and banner

Golden Horseshoe: wall and balcony
Star Traders: wall

you also get pins and 40 points the first time you double click on these and don't forget Shrunken Ned. 20 points once a day after that

Ok, can anyone explain how to take a photo.............whenever I go to take a photo it is never of what I want.

I keep getting views of behind me or the side of me, but never in front of me or above me. Like I wanted to a take a pic of a hidden mickey that was above a door (don't ask me where tho) lol........somewhere where there was food & lots of doorways. Anyway, my camera view was only ground level. How do I take pics of things higher up or even change the view?

Also, how long do we have to wait to no longer be a guest?

06-10-2005, 08:59 PM

Once you click on the camera tab at the bottom, drag the viewfinder to the mickey so that he is in the viewfinder. Next, click 'take photo'.

When the kids and I registered, our chosen names were approved within 24 hours. How long has it been since you registered?

Nice to have met you! I was wondering who you were, but the game makes it so hard to ask questions. lol

I was terrible at level 1 Pirates. I do better in level 2 for some reason.

Has anyone had their sigs, rooms names, and/or descriptions change on them? It seems to be a new bug, annoying, but funny. My Space Eeyore room changed to Sovereign Eeyore. All my photo descriptions changed, too.

It took me awhile to figure out how to get the boats to turn to shoot! :guilty: Sometimes, I just went around in circles!! :guilty: :guilty: I also tried the Castle Fireworks but the VMK shut down for the night while I was tring that.

Sunday afternoon, I actually got to play the Castle Fireworks game and got some points! :) I got a bronze pin!! :) :)

Some people actually have DIS in their descriptions and I can't figure out how to do that!! :confused3
