I have a few things I'd just like to share with you.. there's some images which I'd like to put here, incase anything happens to my computer. Enjoy the pictures. Don't forget that more pics by me are in the Gallery (http://www.vmkforums.com/gallery/member.php?uid=2814&protype=1).

VMK:
The following pictures were posted on these forums back in 05. But I'd really like to show the newer people some images. The pictures were taken on the VMK Insider Tour at DLR or WDW. It shows what Big Thunder Mountain, Mark Twain, and the Haunted Mansion game could or do look like. In the first picture, notice the giraffe pin! That still hasn't come out. I wonder if it ever will.. :) I also added some pictures of the Haunted Mansion Quest card. They gave us 4 instead of 3. The lady let us keep the other. :)

WDW:
Below are some pictures of the Castle at Walt Disney World. The first one shows the delicous looking Castle that Disney decorated for the 25th Anniversary of WDW. I was actually there at the time.. anyone else remember it? The second picture is what Disney did to the Castle on the day Stitch's Great Escape opened to the public. As you can see in the picture, toilet paper was thrown over the castle, and faux graffti was put on the Castle turret. It reads "Stitch Is King!". It was only up for one day, they put it up in the morning, and was taken down when the park closed. Wish I was there to see that!

DLR:
This next picture is of Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty's Castle. It was beautifully decorated with five golden crowns to celebrate 50 years of Disneyland California. They were sceduled to be taken down in November, but in fact they were taken down in September. I went in October, and missed the crowns. My friends from VMK had some awesome pictures though!

Another good memory is when I received my Blue VMK Pin in the mail from my good friend. Thanks to that person!! :D

Boy, do I wish I got to do the VMK Insider Tour. When I went to VMK Central the first time with my friend, they said that we arrived to late to sign up for the tour. >_< It would have been interesting to take the tour.

I was there for WDW's 25th Anniversary. We have some pictures of me and my brother dancing with a sign that represented a year of WDW. It was part of some show or something.I don't remember what year we had, but it was one interesting experience.

Great pictures Stitch! I remember when they had the castle decorated like a big birthday cake too, it was amazing how they did that. I missed the VMK insider tour so I really appreciate seeing the original pictures and pins. Thanks for sharing these.

Oh how nice! Great pics and Stitch is a wild dog! ;) (Hehe) Look at that castle. The concept art is the best though!

Pretty cool. Any idea how to get the blue VMK pin? I know you get the gold one from becoming a cast member, correct?

Wow awesome pictures! <3 the Giraffe Pin! Some of those VMK pictures are really cool too. I loved the castle for Magic Kingdom's 25th anniversary, one of my best trips to WDW ever!

I remember the cake castle. We (my mom and I) hated it; it was very ugly, in my opinon.

I wish I would have seen the toilet paper by Stitch. Haha. That must have been fun to do, eh?

Ooh, very nice pics! I love the look of the candy castle! Unfortunately, I've never been to WDW :( so was never there to see that.

I was there for the 50th anniversary castle at DLR, though!

Aww, I wish I had done the Insider Tour, too. It looked like it would've been a lot of fun :)
