I subscribe to a Disney newsletter titled "Disney Insider". This article caught my eye. It is from the 9/18/07 edition:

" Disney.com Among Web Top 10


Disney.com has been The Walt Disney Company's home on the Internet for more than 10 years – an eternity in Web time, when trends come and go in the blink of an eye. But that doesn't make Disney.com a digital dinosaur – the site is constantly adding new, cool features, including a major makeover this year.

So it's pleasing, but not surprising, to find Disney's site at number five on the annual "Digital Hot List"* of Web sites showing impressive growth in the number of visitors year over year. What's bringing all those new visitors to Disney.com? Let's take a look at some of the highlights that bring Guests flocking.

• Customize, personalize, and play around – Disney.com XD lets you make your own channel, just the way you like it. Guests can save high scores on their favorite games and play against other Guests, choose interactive features to put up-front and center, and decorate their page with a wealth of Disney themes.

• Family-friendly fun – Disney.com is packed with games of all kinds, for kids of all ages, in an environment parents can feel good about. And Disney.com's spiffy new Game Finder makes it easier than ever to sort through the hundreds of games on the site to find exactly what you (or your child) is in the mood for. This year, Disney.com added Club Penguin to its stable of popular online worlds where players can meet and interact, which also include Disney's Toontown Online and Disney's Virtual Magic Kingdom, so families have even more ways to play and explore on the site.

• More video content to enjoy than ever before – on all levels of the site. Watch the making of a hotly anticipated movie, or let your kids see their favorite Disney Channel stars in action. And much of the video can ONLY be seen at Disney.com – as was the case last spring, when Disney.com Guests were treated to an exclusive sneak preview viewing of nine minutes of Disney·Pixar's "Ratatouille."

♦ Exclusive D*Concerts – Hannah Montana rocked the Web this summer with a live concert, which played for an entire week on Disney.com. As did the Disney Channel Games D*Concert, with a roster of Disney Channel stars including Corbin Bleu, the Cheetah Girls, and many more. Look for more stars in D*Concert in the future!

• Disney for You – skip right to content that interests YOU. Whether you're a parent looking for content for preschoolers, a teen who can't get enough "High School Musical," or dyed-in-the-wool Disney fan, there's a place on Disney.com where you can find all your favorites.

• Disney entertainment and Disney quality – this is the year that saw the release of Disney·Pixar's "Ratatouille" and Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End," the Year of a Million Dreams at the Disney Parks; and the worldwide phenomenon that is "High School Musical," among many others. And for each great Disney event, Guests will find tons of online goodies to add to the fun – from trivia and downloadable wallpaper to exclusive behind-the-scenes info and interviews.

So, is Disney.com planning to rest on its laurels? No way! In the months to come, keep an eye out for new "online worlds," special events for Disney films like "Enchanted" and "National Treasure: Book of Secrets," and even more exclusive online stuff. Changing, growing, and striving to do things better is just the Disney way – and it's a way that always gives Guests something new, fun, and cool to discover at Disney.com.

This section from above leads me to believe that VMK is not going anywhere:

I just wanted to share this article with everybody. Looks like some cool stuff on the rest of the Disney site.

Thanks for posting some positive news.

Further...Has anyone else noticed that VMK has apparently done some infrastructure changes? We have not seen that Sunday morning down time in months. Yet another postive sign.

Boring the crowd into going outdoors is a great way to avoid overloading the system.
 
Hey Fly... Thank You so much for sharing that with us. It really is so good to hear some good news about vmk for a change instead of all this negitivity! I love vmk and hope it is around for a long long time! :love:
