1/22/07 Announcing a new in-Park Quest! Plus details on an upcoming football themed event AND a new VMK Guest room! It's an action-packed edition of Yavn Speaks and it all starts right now!
Winter Wonders
The vacation is over, winter is in full swing (boy, has it ever!) and now it's full speed ahead with school and work. So how can VMK help ease your winter blues? Well how about the long-awaited info on our newest Park Quest as well as a sneak peak at a new themed Guest Room?
Animated Questing
Here it is! The news you've been waiting for - the next VMK in-Park Quest is (drum roll please)... The Disney Animated Quest! Now we're trying something totally new here, unlike the traditional scavenger hunt-type Quests we currently have in the Parks, this is a Quest focused on Disney animated movies! Why would change the Quest you already enjoy? That's simple - we wanted to create a Quest that could be played while you are in line or taking a break from your Park adventure!
How well do you know your Disney animated features? The new VMK Disney Animation Quest has 10 question that will test your knowledge of your favorite Disney films. It hits both Disneyland and the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World the first week of February!
Of the course the next question you're probably asking is 'what's the prize?!' Well, what better way to reward your animated Questing than with an all new Animation Viewer! Also known as a zoetrope (which means 'living wheel' in Greek), the device was used during the early days of animation to produce the illusion of motion. It's our little way of celebrating the early pioneers of animation - and it will look pretty cool in your room.
COMING SOON the Animation Viewer! It's the first card in the Series 3 set. That's right, we said Series 3!
When will you be able to play the VMK Disney Animation Quest? Well, our plan is to have it running in both Disneyland and The Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World by February 1st, if it's any sooner than that, I'll let you know. Until then please be patient - and please don't ask Cast Members about when it's coming, since they don't have an exact date either and asking won't help it arrive any faster!
While we're on the subject of Quest, Cards and Rewards, we're re-working all the VMK rewards. I've mentioned this before, but be prepared, the days of VMK Bracelets and Reward Card Packs are coming to an end - I'll have more information about this very soon but we're always looking to bring new things to VMK.
Mmmm! Minty Goodness!
Ok, so a few of you have sent in comments asking about the Mint Julep. Well, there are many 'versions' of this famous beverage, and yes, not all are family friendly. But for us and millions of Disneyland visitors, The Mint Julep is a sweet carbonated drink (suitable for all members of the family) flavored with mint and lemonade. Still, you can't find this minty delight just anywhere, it's only found in Disneyland at New Orleans Square.
Wet your whistle with a tasty (and family-friendly) beverage - the Mint Julep. Served with a smile by the Blue Bayou's reptilian restaurateur, the Gator Waiter.
Epcot in VMK?
Another topic getting lots of interest is a little something called the Epcot Guest Room. Now I can't say how the room will be released just yet, but it might not be a bad idea to brush up on your knowledge of Epcot just in case.
Spaceship Earth makes a VMK appearance.
Which raises the question will there be more Epcot in VMK? Will there be any special Epcot furniture? And will you get it from an in-game Quest or in-Park Quest? Ok, please hold your questions, time will reveal all... or just check back soon for more details. ;-)
The Big Game Maze
Last, but certainly not least, I wanted to let you in on something special we've planned for Super Sunday. Announcing the VMK Football Maze event for Feb. 4th - Super Bowl Sunday! What's this all about? Well, the VMK team has been creating some cool mazes that will earn you a spiffy cool prize! Tune in next week to see the prize and get the full details on this event.
Well I think that should more than satisfy your curiosity about future VMK happenings. Just remember to check back for more details on the VMK Disney Animation Quest launch date as well as specifics on the VMK Football Maze event. Coming up in a future blog, I'll try to get you a preview of some of the new items going on sale next month! Until then, I'm off to New Orleans Square at Disneyland to grab a Mint Julep and Monte Cristo sandwich! And a Churro... and a Turkey Leg... and a Fudge Mallow... so much for that New Year's diet resolution!
See you in VMK,
Yavn

Well I think everyone got what they asked for. I like the new quest and hope to see maybe a new Adventureland Quest with Flying Carpet magic as a prize (just a dream). But this new prize looks awesome! I nearly fainted when I saw the Epcot guest room and also that it included the Fountain of Nations! As for the In-game Quest of Epcot, Bring it on! (Pretty sure it is in-game check yavn.com). I love the room and would get 10 of them if I could. I'm just glad the giant wand did not make it in
Thanks Yavn made my day wonderful
