Hey how about the kids requesting songs in memory of vmk on radio disney?

Oprah Winfrey?

Local/syndicated radio shows?

Those with good special interest (pull at heart string )stories will do better with some of these others....

Maybe they could do something about Slinkyman's story and how VMK helped him through a hard time. That's pretty much the ultimate feel-good story.

Or Dlandchick who has been battling cancer after being diagnosed last year... Or the countless families who have children with autism, where they finally seem to make a connection playing VMK... Or the adults with disabilities...the list goes on and on... Someone, somewhere has to have a heart...

Even MORE reasons why they shouldn't close VMK... I'll need to include these next time I write a letter to Disney. (They're getting at least one every day from me until VMK closes or they change their minds!)

That is a good idea to tell FOX and CNN! If anyone knows anything about if they listen to our emails I want showtimes! This is actually kinda fun petitioning and all! Even though I have sunk into a depression because of all this ... Anyway love you all and will miss you!

You actually brought me to laughter with your random run off. Depresion then all of a sudden.... Anyway love you all and will miss you!

 

[piratesLifeYoho]

Yes-

I was wondering the same.

i wrote the following in the body of my message.....


The Disney Corporation is turning its back on their loyal customers. Virtual Magic Kingdom (VMK) is a free online game, but to all who play, it is not just a game. It is a mode for parents to connect with their children, a motivation for children to stay off the streets and out of trouble, and it is also a safe way to teach children how to be good citizens before they get out into the real world. However, Disney Internet Group does not care about how much the site means to its over a quarter of a million players! It blatantly ignores please from people young and old to keep the site running. All they seem to care about is the revenue. I understand from a business perspective the cost of things is important, but they should consider the cost to the children as well. Nearly everyone who plays VMK currently is willing to pay to keep it open; the only ones who would not are those who can not afford it. There is such an out pouring of sentiment about this issue on various sites dedicated to keeping VMK alive. Many of the contacts to Disney that we have available to us as customers have been blocked off since VMK recently reported its up coming closure on May 21, 2008. I only hope my plea to you will not also fall on deaf ears. VMK has become like a family to us… a network, a support group… that would be lost because of the disregard of a few people. Please, help spread the word and make the facts known about this issue that means so much too so many people.



i also added the links to some sites i could find and all the contact info we have to Disney. Please feel free to use this as a starting point and add you personal feelings/ thoughts. send it to anyone who will listen!!!!!!!!!!!


LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD AND DONT EVER GIVE UP!...

JACK SPARROW WOULDNT!!!

I also would like to add... that there are people from 4 74 who play this game... there are people who have medical problems and in wheel chairs... this game has become a place for family to spend time with each other. So I ask that you please take the time to maybe let your viewers hear what Disney is doing! We would just like a chance to keep it going if if we had to pay for it!

Thank You for any help you can getting the word out!

Nice Job
Hopefully Fox will broadcast at least something about it. We need all the recognition we can get. Maybe Disney will get the message that we really mean business.
