[DisGirlAllie]

Well, as my History Teacher told me; it all comes back to Money.
WWI came back to Money.
WWII came back to Money.
9/11 came back to Money.
Disney company is sticking with the flow, it all comes down to money.
I'm sorry to say that is just how the world works.

I know, Allie.

I know that you know, Allison. I was just saying thank goodness.

 

[DramaQueen]

I don't think the Disney company is going downhill at all. And I'm sort of surprised people have been downing it so much even though they still love visiting WDW or DLR every summer and love the feeling they get there. Hypocrite much? I'm obsessed with Disney, I love it so much and I'll always stand up for it I guess. It has changed the world.

THANK
YOU JENNY!!!
ITA!!!
That's exactly what I'm sayin'!!

I REALLY don't understand why everyone's been so negative about a company which we all clearly LOVE dearly. Just don't get it.

 

[Disneylover 2]

I have to agree I've been to both Disneyland and WDW and I do believe DLR has more magic than WDW. Even though I love both DLR deffinately has much more magic than WDW. I know friend who have been to both and they always say DLR has much more magic and is so much better than WDW. Also I dont get Club Penguins I was watching the kids I babysit play the game it seemed worthless to me please dont flame me for saying that. Also my neighbor was really quite rude he ran into a girl from his school who he didnt like and he started calling her a loser and telling her to get a life... Then he went off with some of his other friends and was quite rude with them... So I dont know but I have no intrest in club penguin also theres no disney magic there its penguins NOT A CASTLE so I dont get why they expect all to migrate to those sites when we love seeing castles

I agree with you! Just look under my username!

Ok.

Well, for me, if thats who you think is being negative.
Im not.
I adore disney. I'm actually doing a report on Walt (which...i...will post about later) anyway,

I love it.

I'm just a little (fine. I lied, IM REALLY) upset that they're closing down VMK. I understand why its just...that game, didn't make the pain hurt so bad, when I came home from DLR for the first time. I went on and giggled then said "I remember that! That's great symbolism!"

Im not mad at DISNEY at all, Im just upset. Im not flaming at disney the company itself, i love it too much and I always will, I know VMK had to end at some point, I just wanted it to be a point when things just got old for me I guess.

BUT.

Unlike DISNEY itself, I learned the hard way, that thats never gonna happen for me, because no matter what age, you can love ANY quality about Disney..even an online "childrens" gamerolleyes.



Ill step down now...

ITA.
Exactly my point.
He (Walt) wanted Disney so that everyone could be happy. Sure, he was a business man, but he cared a lot about everyone's well beings.
I love Disney. I just don't like Yavn for shutting VMK down.

(LOL, I almost put an "i" in for the "u" in shutting. Thank god I caught that one XD)

 

[Cassidy]

I found an online petiton, so far, EXACTLY 4,999 people have signed it.

 

[Cassidy]

VMK?
I'm in.

Im trying to log on.

 

[AbsoluteAwesome1]

I just remember in the golden age of VMK, I had these fantasies of all of us staying on VMK for years and years.

Odd, I know. But it just seemed like it would happen at the time.

 

[Cassidy]

Where are you guys on vmk?

 

[shellybellypolo]

Where are you guys on vmk?

Logging in. You can find a place if you want.

And don't laugh. I'm wearing the clothes I first wore when I was a new person in VMK XD

It's to symolize my character going down bringing the memories with her.

Idunno, it just seems proper.

 

[RaggedyAnnPrincess]

no no no mouse.
it wasn't not aimed specifically at you! don't worry.
i just find that there is alot of negativity regarding Disney Co. on this board and how it's just a money making business and it's just aimed at kids and it's not what Walt would want.
Which I truly disagree with.

Anyways, regarding VMK closing because it's not making money...I did a little investigating and from the VMK site:

Why is this happening?

As Yavn mentioned in the Newsletter, VMK was created and launched as part of a promotion to celebrate Disneyland's 50th Anniversary.

The game/promotion has ran well beyond the original time it was intended to.

and even though it's closing it WILL still be making Disney Co. money:

Will I still be able to buy VMK Cards and Pins in the Parks?

Yes. You will still be able to buy VMK Cards and Pins at Disneyland and Walt Disney World Parks while supplies last, however after May 21st, 2008 the codes will no longer work in the game.

So...I don't REALLY think it has anything to do with money. I'm sure you could argue against that...but it looks like it's just run it's course.
Disney does this all the time (gets rid of things people love) but it's always replaced with something better (ie; The new POTC anyone?)
So maybe Disney will come out with something different?
Who knows.

 

[Cassidy]

Lol, I told my dad it was because they were losing or not making any money and this is what my dad said.

" Loss of money? What a piece of crap. They have all the money they need. "

They're saying "Oh, join toontown, it's better!"

Erm. No.

They aren't losing money for it.

 

[babytiaraprincess]

They are losing money, to build the website (well a little) Vmk was fun! Lets think of the fun times we had.. I mean I liked Vmk because I had a lot of friends on there, but I hate to say it... It's life my mom says life's sometimes is not fair. Some people didn't get to go to Vmk because they won't let people on, I sure one of you would have loved or liked it, some more than others, Im sorry, If I don't make sense.
