View Full Version : Hurricane VMK
LordIllidan 06-24-2008, 02:50 AM I saw this on another site, and thought it'd only be fitting to spread the word here.
So, what is this "Hurricane VMK?" A plan.
Every Saturday starting starting next Saturday, June 28th, they'd like VMK players to call Radio Disney and... well... Do what you always do :P Let Disney know how you feel. The idea is, not only will Disney have to unexpectedly face these problems head-on (I, personally, have my doubts about this part. How qualified would a Radio Disney DJ be in terms of dealing with people's problems about Disney's business strategy? But, I digress. It's still a good idea for the other reason, which I'm about to mention: ) as well as helping to raise awareness of our plight, both to Disney themselves and to fellow Disney lovers.
Radio Disney's number is 1-888-327-7018. Hope to hear you all on the Radio this Saturday!
Small edit: Before anyone goes on about how they think this is a "Waste of time, VMK is already closed..." I will say that it's just 5-10 minutes out of your life for anyone who chooses to participate (maybe more if their lines are busy), and for a good cause. Won't hurt anybody :P
BuzzBoy133 06-24-2008, 02:54 AM Well, the calls are recorded durring when the songs arer playing so they can choose which ones to play, so the people might not get on the air. Also, Radio Disney's lines are VERY busy, so its hard to even be heard!
pirategirl202 06-24-2008, 02:54 AM hmm... Hurricane VMK..
* thinks *
well you make a good point Lord Illidan.
so the purpose of this is to tell our feeling about how we feel about Disney?
Or how we feel about Disney making new changes like the closing of vmk and the start of the fairy thing and cars??
LordIllidan 06-24-2008, 03:00 AM Well, the calls are recorded durring when the songs arer playing so they can choose which ones to play, so the people might not get on the air. Also, Radio Disney's lines are VERY busy, so its hard to even be heard!
I wouldn't know, because I don't usually listen to Radio Disney, but...
If so, it's always a good plan to just start off not sounding like you're one of us, and then pop it on them at the end or if you manage to make it live ;)

Well, I'm only the messanger here, so I can't speak with authority on this, but... I believe it's to tell Disney how you feel about WDIG's recent actions, including, but not necessarily limited to, the examples you've mentioned.
After all, it is a "call to arms" for all the Save VMK'ers.
pirategirl202 06-24-2008, 03:02 AM oh..
okay thanks for the help!
:)
MsBored 06-24-2008, 03:22 AM I can't call them because I get stage fright. Well in this case radio fright. So I'll listen. On DXD there's a Radio Disney gadget thingy, I'll try to get on and listen to it.
~MsBored
pirategirl202 06-24-2008, 03:23 AM i tried calling them once but my call wouldnt go through.
:oh well...... Lolz i might try again
MsBored 06-24-2008, 03:33 AM *Lightbulb goes off in head* Idea. OK, that was weird. Anyways, we should write up speeches (SHORT LOL) So we don't like mess up on the air. Maybe we can share some.
~MsBored
P.S. 800th post! LOL!
DinoVan 06-24-2008, 03:52 AM Ah i was coming on to post this.
I love the idea, i cant wait to listen to all the stuff people are gonna say.
pirategirl202 06-24-2008, 03:54 AM i like MsBored's idea.
very creative :)

That's a really good idea ;)
I think I'm going to hold off on writing mine first, though, until I see what other people have got. I'm not exactly used to calling radio stations, and I don't want to seem too formal XD
sandollargirl 06-24-2008, 08:56 PM darn you beat me to posting this here!!!! oh well .. oh ya my brother has a radio disney CD with all the stations listed in it would you like me to post them?
EtnaGreen 06-24-2008, 09:03 PM This is a genius idea, if I don't have marching band that day I will listen to you guys, I freeze up with speeches and stuff.
DinoVan 06-24-2008, 09:04 PM You should have vmk music playing in the background.
LordIllidan 06-24-2008, 09:28 PM darn you beat me to posting this here!!!! oh well .. oh ya my brother has a radio disney CD with all the stations listed in it would you like me to post them?
Yes, please :D
This is a genius idea, if I don't have marching band that day I will listen to you guys, I freeze up with speeches and stuff.
I don't think you'd need a full on speech, especially since it's Radio Disney we're talking about here. But, if you decide to go for it, do sound passionate about it ;)
You should have vmk music playing in the background.
Hehheh. Awesome idea.
Well, the calls are recorded durring when the songs arer playing so they can choose which ones to play, so the people might not get on the air. Also, Radio Disney's lines are VERY busy, so its hard to even be heard!
That's correct. They don't do live call-ins. Only rarely. That's why before commercial breaks they say: Call in this #: ____________. Stay tuned for the answer to _________ after the break!

Yep. I just found it. If you go to disney.go.com/dxd/ , click "Music", then click "Radio Disney," there's a live stream at the bottom of the screen.
Thank you for posting up all the radio stations, though ;)
padme123 06-25-2008, 04:16 AM well im to freaked out to talk on radio disney lol ill try maybe ill send a shoutout to all vmk players lol or someone can make me a speech
Matterz 06-25-2008, 04:37 AM This is a great idea. I actually think it would at least have a chance for someone to get their words spoken on Radio Disney. I've called in before and it's easy to get in as long as it's not during contests.
And you have to be fluent, or they won't play it.
And you have to make sense.
Whoah, I'm gonna participate.
I'm excited! ;)
autoalice 06-25-2008, 05:52 AM This Saturday I'll be nowhere near a radio except driving to and from my all day activity :(
I like the idea a lot though. Hum...thinking of using the mobile while I'm there and setting my son on them all the same. Not sure it'd be heard though.
But this is every Saturday until.....right?

When have we ever been sure we'd be heard? :P
Yes, it's every saturday until... Who knows when XD Until we win or give up, I suppose.
Again, good luck to everyone participating! I'll definitely be listening, and, if things go well, be there fighting along side you all!
BlazinBeats 06-26-2008, 04:22 AM Ah, haha, you beat me!
But I'm definately going to be listening and calling all day.
Brer_Nick 06-26-2008, 05:24 AM Don't you think Disney has enough problems when it comes to hurricanes?
The plan seems... recycled but I like it. I know the Earthbound (starmen.net) has been calling nintendo or america for years surrounding the release of MOTHER3 to the USA and MOTHER1+2. Just saying this isn't anything new, just EXTREMELY effective. You could also try collecting a book of fanart, fan videos, music, and etc. from vmk. Stories and stuff. It could be VMKology. Ship it to disney, maybe get published. Fight for our right to play!
Zimonada 06-26-2008, 01:16 PM I love this idea. I guess I'm out though since there's no Canadian station.. ;/
I'm with you in spirit guys :D
EtnaGreen 06-26-2008, 04:41 PM I love this idea. I guess I'm out though since there's no Canadian station.. ;/
I'm with you in spirit guys :D
You can still call, last time I checked Canadians have phones. ;)
LordIllidan 06-26-2008, 05:23 PM You can still call, last time I checked Canadians have phones. ;)
NO WAI! :O
...Sorry, couldn't resist XD
I love this idea. I guess I'm out though since there's no Canadian station.. ;/
I'm with you in spirit guys :D
You could always see if the DXD stream works, and listen online ;)
Zimonada 06-26-2008, 08:55 PM I know, but then I can't listen to see if I made it on. :D
LordIllidan 06-28-2008, 06:44 PM Quick reminder: First day of Hurricane VMK is today!
TBs_Creation 06-28-2008, 07:15 PM Oh My! Ill see if my parents will let me call
SkyRocket 06-28-2008, 07:16 PM They wont let you say anything about VMK on Raido Disney, I've tried.
LordIllidan 06-28-2008, 07:21 PM They wont let you say anything about VMK on Raido Disney, I've tried.
What exactly did they tell you?
I was chatting with a friend of mine a while ago, and she said they're only taking song requests right now. Actual calls are later.
cookiefairy 06-28-2008, 08:06 PM That's too bad. I was going to listen- this could've been pretty funny.
VMKer: Hello.
RD: Hi! What can I play for you?
Vmker: VMK
RD: What? Who's the artist?
VMKer: Disney.
RD: Are you sure that song exists..?
VMKer: It's gone.
RD: Then why are you asking for it?
VMKer: Avenge VMK! Break Down Disney! Down with Disney, Down with moneymaking Disney! Down with----
RD: And here's the cast of Camp Rock "We Rock!"
SassaFrazz 06-28-2008, 08:13 PM That's too bad. I was going to listen- this could've been pretty funny.
VMKer: Hello.

VMKer: Avenge VMK! Break Down Disney! Down with Disney, Down with moneymaking Disney! Down with----
RD: And here's the cast of Camp Rock "We Rock!"
LOL xD that would be funny.
RoxyBlueMusic 06-28-2008, 08:30 PM I've called into a sports station here before (weird, I know, for a girl to call into a station. It's one of the only cool stations here without having XM though.), and they ask what you're going to talk about before they let you on.
You could always say something else, but they could cut you off when you mention VMK. I really hope this works, though. I want VMK back just as much as anyone here.
Anyone got a short speech lined up yet?
LordIllidan 06-28-2008, 09:27 PM Not yet. I've been hoping to hold out until I hear some of you guys on first, so I know what exactly I should say, but... I haven't heard anyone yet.
Then again, I've only been listening for about the past 15 minutes or so
ihavewaycutecats 06-28-2008, 09:49 PM That's too bad. I was going to listen- this could've been pretty funny.

Evil_Cloud_Monkey 06-28-2008, 10:29 PM If they cut you off, keep going until they hang up. LOL!
LordIllidan 06-29-2008, 12:07 AM Anyone had any luck yet?
RoxyBlueMusic 06-29-2008, 12:10 AM I doubt anyone will get on the station where I am, but I'm not exactly sure which one is used for here. There wasn't one on the list.
EtnaGreen 06-29-2008, 12:52 AM Not yet. I've been hoping to hold out until I hear some of you guys on first, so I know what exactly I should say, but... I haven't heard anyone yet.
Then again, I've only been listening for about the past 15 minutes or so
so they don't cut you off you could just state what vmk was and what their opinion is on it. I highly doubt disney would care, and I am really curious what they would think.
LordIllidan 06-29-2008, 01:20 AM so they don't cut you off you could just state what vmk was and what their opinion is on it. I highly doubt disney would care, and I am really curious what they would think.
Well, I meant more in terms of how... ah... "Formal," for the lack of a better word, I should be. I mean, honestly... If I talked on Radio Disney the same way I talk here, I'd just sound like a loon XD And, while I personally don't mind looking like a loon, people are more inclined to listen to people they believe are sane.
coolJamz 06-29-2008, 02:47 AM so, did anyone call in about vmk?
On most radio stations they take the calls during commercials.
RoxyBlueMusic 06-30-2008, 08:33 PM I agree with sounding formal with your call. lol
It would be really funny though, if someone called and instead of laughing, they said LOL.
sandollargirl 06-30-2008, 08:39 PM On most radio stations they take the calls during commercials.
not really i've seen what happens in a radio station and once they're off the air they kind of just sit there talking until the comercials are done playing then they go back on the air there's no calls in between beleieve me my aunt works for a radio station ( and yes it's a major set of stations not some little one)and i've seen this while literally in the studio
BuzzBoy133 06-30-2008, 08:43 PM My sis got onto Radio Disney and she answered the question durring when the song was playing and then they just replayed it when the song was over..
