Dear Beta Old-Timers,

While it may seem impossible that adults who play an online game aimed at kids 1/3 (1/4, 1/5??) our age to be ever really considered "old". . .

if you are one of the adults who have been around since the heady, beta days of last summer,

if you still continue to find delight in traveling about the Virtual Magic Kingdom in spite of the unavoidable "taken", "mummy" "vampire". et al. nonsense

if you recall fondly the days when most everything was "Coming Soon!"

if you suffered through the first "event" and didn't quit in disgust

if you logged on late in the evening to make your way to a queue to get into the same Central Plaza as your DIS friends, even though all we were going to do was hang out there for no particular reason

and if you hid behind the popcorn stand and in the shadows of the corner, until taking your rightful place on the trolley tracks to dance the place closed

then. . .

Help Me Find You!!

Having been gone for 6 months, my old character, BlueMinnie, only has friends that, for the most part, haven't logged in in months (perfectly understandable as I've been gone and gotten removed from active players lists -- but very lonely)

My new character, DisneyLlama, has wandered aimlessly around the kingdom and searched the active rooms for "Dis" and still hasn't spotted you.

If any of you will be around this evening, I'd love to find you again!
 
Welcome Back! I am a new-timer but you can usually find a bunch of ladies on at night. Try Dagny's Match game that will be on today. :)
 
Good to see you again (even if you don't remember me, lol) -- I still "heart" the DemonLlama ID you have here...

Hope to see you around :)
 
Ahhhhhgh! Now I have guilt! ;) Welcome back BlueMinnie, now known as DisneyLlama- you were one of my first friends on my list :goodvibes I even kept you there for 3 months after your ban, but then needed the room :guilty:

I'll keep my eyes open for you in the kingdom- I am glad you are back :teeth:
 

Welcome Back :)
PM me when you are on! (I am usually on after dinner) and I will direct you to 'DIS' gatherings :wave2:
 
Many thanks!

I will PM this evening and looking for the Match room to see if I can rejoin the club! :teeth:

JeanJoe -- Of course I remember you! And I would dearly love to be DemonLlama on VMK but, alas, while vampires are allowed, the word "Demon" is not. :crazy:
 
BlueMinnie, I remember you! You helped me with the hidden mickey quest back in beta. Glad to see you are back! :thumbsup2
 
DemonLlama DemonLlama!! sorry memories of the movie....

Welcome back glad you are back. you can find must people in the forecourt now during closing. other than that i am not sure most still have dis in the room titles. do a search of the rooms for people you remember some hang out in there rooms alot


****IF ON NOW COME TO TOWN SQAURE SOUTH*****
 
Hey, BlueMinnie I think you're still on my list! LOL, as a matter of fact I think I still have people on my list who haven't been online since, like...OCTOBER. Hehe, well what can I say, I always have hope that they might return someday! :rolleyes1

Welcome back!
 
I have a little demon llama beanie when they sold them at TDS. It's the
cutest thing.

You're not so bad, either. ;)
 
Thank you SorcererMickey and TrixieBella for leading me to Coriander's! And all the lovely welcomes I got there, too! :blush:

And thanks lab_girl for the room name -- fun game, but I got disconnected :rolleyes2 once I got in the game. Maybe next time!

But now I have friends!!! :cloud9:

:rotfl: I love my DL beanie, too! Too bad they didn't do more ENG around the parks. . .I wanna picture with Kronk!!
 
Kronk is the Soarin' safty person in the video for the ride if you ever go on it at WDW
 
Yes, thanks SorcMickey for bringing her by my room. :cool1: It is so good to see you again, blue :banana:
 
OH MY WPASADI SISTER!!!!

I was thrilled to see you walk in to Town Square!! I knew of your situation and thought of you often, I believe I even spoke to Tarmand about you. OMG, remember WPASADI??

I am so glad to have you back on my list!!
 
:wave2: HI! Just wanted to say WELCOME BACK to the world of VMK!!! :cheer2: Even though I've been around since summer, I don't think we had ever met before.

I'll keep my eye out for you! :wave2:
 
It was so nice to meet you in Sea's room last night! Glad I got you on my list! See you soon!! Not sure if anyone metioned this, but there was tons of posts awhile back about people getting banned for having DIS in their room titles or talking about Dis boards etc so lots of us took it out of our room names and signatures, but we are all still there!!
