Remember VMK?

[Inspire&Imagine]

I remember! I used to love logging on to VMK (Virtual Magic Kingdom) all the time and visit all my favorite rides and attractions to get me in the good old Disney mood. And from what I understand, the website became quite popular.

But then the magical Disney people in our computer screens shut the site down. Completely. Which makes me wonder why. It was a good source of publicity and fun, right?

So, DISboards, did you love VMK as much as me? If not, why? And why the heck was it taken down???

I enjoyed VMK.

They shut it down because it was only meant to be a promotion for the parks and it lasted way longer than it was supposed to.

- sniffs - I miss VMK. I miss my bird-hat (it wasn't my most valuable item, but it was my favorite item of clothing to wear). Why did they have to shut it down?

Were they losing money by keeping it on?

Here is a few memobilia I have from the time I went to WDW in '05 when VMK was still alive. I went on the insider's tour, it was awesome. Plus it was free (well, park admission, but still )

Sometimes I feel really sad that it's gone. I remember playing falling chairs.

OMG I ALMOST FORGOT ABOUT THAT GAME.
I was better at Cute or Boot...
I'd often play against a bunch of n00bs just so I'd win.
XD
I think I actually hosted a few times.
Just for kicks.
It was funny to watch people get upset.
I'm sadistic.

Mansion was my favorite game.
Most of my friends preferred Pirates.
But Mansion was my THING. XD
I probably played against you.
I was always on the purple team.
