4/9 – This week Yavn has the 411 on 2 new outfits, plus Fantasyland in-game Quest, and the Tomorrowland Quest. Yavn Speaks starts right now...

Fantasyland Takes Flight
The dust has finally settled and things are getting back to normal here at VMK HQ – the first few days after an updated version of the game (what we call a 'build') goes live are always crazy. And even though we do extensive testing prior to a launch there are still some adjustments, fine-tuning and the occasional bug fix that need to be made. Alas, our moment of rest is brief as we're already busily working on what's on tap for the next build.

We have lots of exciting Fantasyland events planned for the month ahead though, with the release of Alice in Wonderland dark ride pieces kicking off with the Dark Ride-A-Thon at the end of the month.

Make tracks to the Ride-A-Thon and win dark ride items like this Alice track piece before they're released.

What to Wear While You Ride
Are you superstitious? Does Friday the 13th freak you out? Then why not stay home and play VMK? Maybe the fact that we've got 2 new outfits (that I'm sure you'll like) will convince you! Sure, you've got Alice's hair, but how about the rest of the costume? It's going on sale and for the guys we've created a Mr. Smee outfit (a hat and shirt)! All 4 items will go on sale starting April 13th and will be sold at least through the month.

Do you want a pirates life or a hop down the rabbit hole?

So have watched Alice in Wonderland as I suggested? Then you should be ready for the Alice Quest! And by now you should already have your Peter Pan Quest Pin. But don't fill up your Pin collection just yet, we still have 2 more Fantasyland Game Quests, and on deck a Quest about that aeronautical pachyderm - or what you might call the flying elephant!

Pin down those Quest answers and get these fancy Fantasyland Pins!

Quest Update
We haven't forgotten about the new Tomorrowland Quests and hope to launch it within 2 weeks. I know I've been saying soon for a while but this time I really mean it – and remember that we will be updated the in-game Tomorrowland Quests as well – get ready!

Red Inner-Space Suit Magic Spell - coming your way soon!

That's a Wrap!

Hope everyone is enjoying (or enjoyed) their Spring Break - now the countdown to Summer can officially begin. For us we'll be counting down until we get to the new Summer content - but I'll get into that later. Lastly, I do want to thank everyone for your kind notes and the concern for my ear. I'm happy to report I'm almost all better and will be able to travel again very soon. (My next trip will take me back to Orlando and WDW. In the meantime, I'll leave you one more peek at the VMK's new HQ.

We call it the 4th Moon of Yavin…

See you in VMK,
Yavn!
 
WOOT!!

Ok I soooooo hope new quest is out next week. We are in WDW for 3 days and would be so COOL if it was out while we are there. Watch it will come out the day the cruise ship leaves and we will miss it:rotfl2:

THANKS YAVN!

Now, I can look forward to ANOTHER visit to DLR without a new quest.

March 3-4
April 11-15

You'd think that between those dates, VMK would have been able to get the whole Mickey Prizes down.

Guess not.

So, here's the list of quests we can do at DLR: Animation and Pirates. If I've already done both (dratted AP), then I can't do them again.

You'd think they'd go into overtime once they realized that there are no more Land quests in DLR.

So, two visits to DLR. None of which are fun items. I love the Pirate Quest, but I traded for all those items ages ago. And the Animation Viewer leaves something to be desired. (But the actual Quest was AWESOME, really fun). I just wish there was more I could do at Disneyland.

Instead, I have to buy tons of Pirate Pin Packs. At least that's entertaining...
 

Yay new Quests for more Pins. Now if I can just get that elusive Mad Hatter's Tea Party Pin... lol.

New Costumes? Cool. Though it looks like VMK's being a little lazy and skimping on the costume parts... It appears that Alice's outfit is just a "blouse" and skirt - no shoes (in the picture she's wearing what appear to be the blue princess shoes). The skirt should include white stockings (?) for the legs and then they should offer little black "Mary Jane" like shoes. With the free hair ("hat") the costume would be complete. The boys get a cool Smee hat and shirt, but what about Smee's matching shorts and shoes? If they wanted to keep the costume to three pieces like Alice's should be, then use the brown flips (as pictured), but really there should at least be baggy/long shorts that color match the shirt. Still I like that we can have more variant pirate costumes now.

Two weeks for new Tomorrowland Quest? Woot. Though I won't hold my breath ;) Still, I wonder what Series 3 Card 2 is supposed to be... we know Card 1 is the Animation Viewer and 3 is the Red Space Magic, but 2... Hmm... Has that been revealed? I wonder if it will be a second card in the new Tomorrowland Quest? Possibly the TQ Pin that people have seen worn by Yavn in the past. ... That'd be cool.

"4th Moon of Yavin…" - Neat-oh light fixture! haha
 
New costumes..YAY!!! :yay:

I actaully was thinking that we would get the Alice costume since the new hair do came out. But..as soon as I saw it I wonder the same thing Goofy_Bob on the shoes! Looks like they have the same shoes as the princess ones??? And yea what happen to the white soxes Oh well it is a new dress!

Yup...like the new Piarte boy costume!..oh yes they didn't make it complete of Mr Smee... but hey look at it this way... at least it a start on a pirate costume. So maybe ..just maybe we will get a full [pirate costume? One that ALL of us can have and wear???

Oh I do hope the new quest in the parks will come out soon..
But we will just haveto wait and see!!
But it was a good newsletter!

Good to hear you are feeling better Yavn! :)

Well it isn't the one we asked for, but we finally get a pirate bandanna!! :rotfl2:

Edit: It's a different pin in the newsletter now, guess we got a sneak peak at both Dumbo the Flying Elephant Pins!

Yup... just as we got a sneek peek of the Alice one for this week
 
Yeah we get bandanas!! Now that taken is gone we can start our own VMK gangs. JK actually i love the new costumes and cant wait. Great job this month staff!!!
 
I've been wondering about the Fantasyland thing for a while, the Fortuneteller keeps talking about it!

Cute outfits, really cute!!
 
I was hoping for Peter Pan and Tinkerbell costumes.



So was I Cat... I actually thought the two new costumes this month would be Alice and Pan... Guess I was wrong..huh

Oh well...still hoping that maybe before the end of the month we will still get it?? I mean we have Pan on alot of our new pins...
 
Hmmmm .... what kind of shoes would look best with this new Alice costume if you don't have the blue princess shoes I wonder?
Do you think they will release shoes for this costume as well?
Hopefully :-)

I REALLY wish they would release some white tights and mary janes with the Alice dress...but if not, I think the black Haunted Mansion shoes are your best bet.
 
Thanks for your response! That helps!
I do have the black haunted mansion shoes, and that will probably be the closest to the mary janes! And, I agree with you that the tights and mary janes would be so cute if they released those as well. Well, here's our wish list vmk then :)
We will all be so stylish!
Woot!
Thanks Again!
