We arrived back home today and I am getting a little home-sick...yes, Walt Disney World is my home lol. Well I guess you could say I spent more time than I would have liked in the Old Cinema -- VMK Central...(Still was not there long). With each visit there I asked the CM behind the counter if the Pirate's Quest was out yet. They either didn't know or didn't know what I meant and looked at me like I had several heads lol.
On Tuesday (our final day) I asked and still no quest. While I was a little disappointed to hear that, I also found that dispite rumors, wanted posters and gold ears are still available...though without advertisments. I went to Le Chapeau on Main Street and asked about the Gold Ears and the kind woman behind the counter gave me a card without my purchase of a hat. I was very happy to both see they still gave out the ears and that I didn't have to purchase another set of ears haha.
At Splash Mountain, I asked about the wanted posters and the kind man behind the counter gave me a card...at the next counter, I asked again and the kind man there gave us a bunch of the cards.
Now, in these stores they no longer have the sign that goes on about "Buy a real <item> recieve a virtual <item>..." So my guess is not many people will know about this as both of these CM's didn't hand them out with purchase. The Splash Mountain CM didn't give us the cards when we bought the picture...it wasn't until we asked that we recieved them. So my tip to all of you is ask!!
They have also put the Adventureland Quest back on the shelves.
Also, I am not sure if this was always true or if it was just the CM there, but the presentation of room/park tickets was not necessary when getting the Thrill Seeker's Quest stamped. We printed out extras and forgot the other two extras in the room. We got the prizes for the stamped quests and on another day came back with the unstamped quests. My sister kindly explained that she handed in the stamped quests earlier (to the same guy nonetheless) but had forgotten to get these stamped. He refused her the prizes and told her that had she brought the unstamped quests with the stamped, she would have been fine.
Also, don't count on getting an easy going CM at the VMK Central...always expect the stiff ones lol. My sister put in all the correct answers to the adventureland quest and had messed up one answer. The CM took out his "book" and carefully examined each quest handed in. He found the mistake in one and refused her the prize. While she had multiple of each quest, he only checked one of each and said he "trusted" the other answers in the same quests were the same as the one he checked. At another time, the CM didn't even open the quest. Just better to be safe than sorry!
Another thing, the keyboards at the Walt Disney World VMK Central are horrible!! I suggest they put letters back on the keys lol (luckily I know my keyboard well enough to know what letter is where lol). I also think there should be chairs lol. But, this is just what I think lol.
While time is unlimited on the computers there, don't count on staying a while lol. With awful keyboards, curious wandering people who stick their heads FAR into your personal space lol, and the same music playing over and over again on the cinema screen, your unlimited time quickly becomes limited as your sanity can only take so much lol.
Anyway, I hope I didn't sound like a broken record here but if I did, I appologize and you can ignore what I have written lol. If some of this is new to read, then I'm glad I could inform you in some way lol.

It'll probably change by the time we go anyway.
It's possible. If they have internet for VMK, they have internet for everything else.
rofl. Or better yet....I'll trade you my gold ears for your segway!
