Miss MeowsALot 07-12-2005, 03:42 PM Shoot! I am not going to be home all that weekend :( This stink.
Roxane 07-12-2005, 03:45 PM I am so there for that :) We were just there this past weekend, but we can get there again for a day to get this quest I'm sure. Thanks for the heads up :)
I wonder how hard the secret URL will be to find...
Pebble 07-12-2005, 03:46 PM Aw, I would but can't sorry, I could never get to Disney Land so I will give others a chance even if teleportation magic would we super cool, but alas I would never be able to go in for ever :(.
Miss MeowsALot 07-12-2005, 03:50 PM This is my Quest today Looking for the tomorrowland link

Tinklover 07-12-2005, 04:18 PM I am soooooooooooo going to be there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :CastMem: But Ihave to wait tell December to go to WDW. :mad:
MissAmber 07-12-2005, 04:20 PM That is not stinkin fair at all!! What about us people who live like, a zillion miles from a Disney Park?! So ok, I am going to compete in the contest because I love decorating, but my prize is something I can't even use? Not really fair...
I'd be keeping that link for 4 years, which is when I go to Disney.
Dylan 07-12-2005, 04:20 PM Well when does the URL come out? cause im going to Disney World on thursday
MissAmber 07-12-2005, 04:22 PM It's the prize I think. I'm not sure though.
Even if I do win, I'll have to ask someone to take my quest to Disney and get me the code. If someone could that would be really awesome.
Ohhh! I see now you have to FIND the link! *slaps fore-head* I'm so stupid lol
Miss MeowsALot 07-12-2005, 04:28 PM Please PM me how to find the link. I am so bummed out. I can't be there. I will be at Disney for my B-day which is this weekend:(.
prisoner 07-12-2005, 04:33 PM Please PM me how to find the link. I am so bummed out. I can't be there. I will be at Disney for my B-day which is this weekend:(.
You will be at Disney.
For your Birthday.
On Disneylands 50th anniversary weekend.
And you are bummed about this? :confused:
Enjoy the parks! The quests will certainly be around. You can probably go to the VMK desk and get them there.
Tinklover 07-12-2005, 04:35 PM You can go online at the park
TheIncredible 07-12-2005, 04:47 PM Wow! This sounds like great news! I really really realy want to enter the room contests. But I don't know what they're looking for. Right now my first room is decorated like "Who Wants To Be a Millionaire" for my game that I hold every so often. My other room just has a few teleporters and cool furniture that I claim I "stole" (Arrrg!). Maybe I should redecorate my room!
Happy Real 50th Birthday, Disneyland! You make me the happiest person alive at the happiest place on earth!
FlyThenFall 07-12-2005, 04:57 PM I'm just wondering. Do they have the Tomorrowland link up yet...or is this a teaser for the quest release later this weekend. I know I'm going to Disneyland for my birthday this weekend, and I'm totally psyched. I mean totally...like jumping on chairs and screaming when my parents weren't around psyched (think Tom Cruise proclaiming his love to Katie Holmes). Anyways here we go.
BTW, weren't there "hidden letters" in the spell room that Baby was hinting about.
Miss MeowsALot 07-12-2005, 05:04 PM You will be at Disney.

Foustketeer 07-12-2005, 05:21 PM Finally able to attend something!
Foustketeer 07-12-2005, 05:22 PM I know! Maybe I will win something (doubt it) this time! Like I was even there last time.
Mable 07-12-2005, 05:23 PM Awesome AshleyM!
You made my day! :party-smi I'll try my best to be there.
I would like to win something good, you know?
Not looking forward to the crowed rooms and long long waits though. :(
Mickey_Dude 07-12-2005, 05:24 PM -does happy dance-Awesome:):):)
Mickey_Dude 07-12-2005, 05:29 PM Yeah -Dances- I can not wait!!!
Alexander 07-12-2005, 05:34 PM Shoot! I am not going to be home all that weekend :( This stink.
I'm in the same boat with you, but unless those exclusive items and prizes you get are something that will make me go insane with n00bish actions of "I want! Gimme now! Wha! VMK is not fair anymore!" again, I'm probably not going to care.
Besides, I lost all hope for this game ever working properly now. *sighs and attempts to log in again for the 3 time this hour*
AshleyM 07-12-2005, 05:40 PM I want to win really bad :P
MsBehave 07-12-2005, 05:42 PM lol, you beat me to making the post! anyways, START COLLECTING YOUR MONEY!! like they said you can buy exclusive stuff!
-Ms.Behave
AshleyM 07-12-2005, 05:44 PM oh god. i have no credits
toonysean 07-12-2005, 05:49 PM i hope i win something at least a magic spell or a cool thing like a new room or someting exspensive
Enderz 07-12-2005, 05:51 PM I don't think I will be able to make the celebration in the game.
Because all weekend I will be at DIsneyland for the 50th B-Day. which also happends to be on my B-Day July 17th.
That kind of stinks. But now all I need to do is find the Tomorrowland quest URL. If anyone knows where to find it please let me know.
timmyastro 07-12-2005, 06:00 PM i hope i win something :)
finaly to crowds
toonysean 07-12-2005, 06:10 PM off topic: ashleym you like eggs?!
on topic:where are these contests be at?
EDIT: the contests are room contest about who will be the best space room and 50th celebration room
Jackthorn 07-12-2005, 06:12 PM Maybe some of the exclusive stuff is the new clothes!
slayer 07-12-2005, 06:13 PM i hope they have dancing inferno pin this time I NEED IT!
Xiris 07-12-2005, 07:12 PM i can not go to disney!!!! NO!!
Alexander 07-12-2005, 07:32 PM Maybe some of the exclusive stuff is the new clothes!
Which probably won't be out until Christmas, right?
Looks like Baby won't be the only Pirate walking around now. And neither will Squeakytoy be the only Space Girl on VMK as well... well, that isn't part of yavn's special team of developers and testers.
FlyThenFall 07-12-2005, 07:53 PM Now if only someone will divulge the Tomorrowland quest link. So I can grab some extra teleportations pins for people too this weekend!
I hope they give out the top hat.
Enderz 07-12-2005, 08:51 PM Has anyone found the Tomorrowland quest URL yet?
figmentisback 07-12-2005, 09:14 PM Anyone goting to help a person who will be at DL.. and no where near a computer with a printer to get the TL quest.... (esp since if no one finds it by thursday.. I will be out of luck and have to wait untill next year..)
At least i could get on july 17th and play at innoventions for a little bit..
thetitan13 07-12-2005, 10:43 PM Yes! My space room was MADE for this contest. You guys mind dropping by on the 16th? Space Center VMK!
Can't wait to see the prizes!
..... I know I'm going to Disneyland for my birthday this weekend, and I'm totally psyched. I mean totally...like jumping on chairs and screaming when my parents weren't around psyched (think Tom Cruise proclaiming his love to Katie Holmes).
:lol: :lachen70:
:party-smi
Alexander 07-12-2005, 11:17 PM Yes! My space room was MADE for this contest. You guys mind dropping by on the 16th? Space Center VMK!
Can't wait to see the prizes!
They said don't keep it to just SPACE space. They said any space.
However, I believe you'll need some Tomorrowland Items in there just to be safe to being with.
Now if only VMK would let me on so I can get the last 100 credits I need for the Astro-Orbiter lamp. :mad:
I am going to Disneyland next week. Can you only do the tomorrowland quest from the url on vmk or is it available at Disneyland? Anyone have the answer? :wave2:
BlueMickey 07-13-2005, 12:26 AM What do they mean "Don't limit yourself to outer space — remember, there are many kinds of space." :peterpan:
Someone help me i am so confused :mickey2:
Alexander 07-13-2005, 12:39 AM What do they mean "Don't limit yourself to outer space — remember, there are many kinds of space." :peterpan:
Someone help me i am so confused :mickey2:
Air and Space, Inner Space, Aquatic Space, Land Space, Etherial (Psychic) Space, the space between a table and a chair...
You get the idea.
BlueMickey 07-13-2005, 12:47 AM Ok thanks alot, that really helps :CastMem:
Hey this is awesome! I have made my room, Space Parking Rest Stop, and I really hope I can win. I currently have no "rare" magic or anything like that. :(
TheCowgirl 07-13-2005, 03:16 AM flythenfall, u are lucky! I live all the way in pennsylvania and i have NEVER been to WDW or disneyland

Ottsel 07-13-2005, 05:00 AM Oh man, I have to figure out how to do this while simultaneously attending the Comic-Con.
Not looking good for me...
Alexander 07-13-2005, 05:02 AM Oh man, I have to figure out how to do this while simultaneously attending the Comic-Con.
Not looking good for me...
You think you have it bad? When I'm gone during this, I'll be in Dollywood... against my will.
Ottsel 07-13-2005, 05:04 AM You think you have it bad? When I'm gone during this, I'll be in Dollywood... against my will.
Okay, you win. :Tongue:
That stinks man, we have to figure out a way to find computers.
Oh I just had the best idea for the space room. I dont want to say it quite yet, but Ill say it after the judging. It has nothing to do with space as in outer space. I just hope who ever judges my room knows a lot about popular internet fads lol.
Ottsel 07-13-2005, 05:34 AM Oh I just had the best idea for the space room. I dont want to say it quite yet, but Ill say it after the judging. It has nothing to do with space as in outer space. I just hope who ever judges my room knows a lot about popular internet fads lol.
I've got a good (in my opinion I guess) one too .Figure I'll make it and just hope that I can get online in time.
nausicaa 07-13-2005, 06:26 AM i got nothing on the space competition (which is weird i always think out of the box; maybe l8er i will come up with something)
but i am definitely on with the celebration thing!
yup i am already preparing lol
__________
i got my avatar from avatar! dont get me? then ask, but i probably will not tell anyway jk. aren't i weird?
Skaterooni 07-13-2005, 06:26 AM also new, there is a height restrictions now, which has me sooo ticked off.
mrshiny 07-13-2005, 07:59 AM Worse yet - I'll be at Comic-Con and then Disneyland during this!
prisoner 07-13-2005, 03:21 PM Oh I just had the best idea for the space room. I dont want to say it quite yet, but Ill say it after the judging. It has nothing to do with space as in outer space. I just hope who ever judges my room knows a lot about popular internet fads lol.
This is my dilema as well. Fitting it into a space theme isn't hard, but the judges might not "get it". Maybe I can find dictionary words to explain it.
And maybe they'll judge it when I'm not there. Wish we had a clear ruling on that before I built it.
Dylan 07-13-2005, 03:59 PM I got idea. Does space have to be first word? Darn it does
prisoner 07-13-2005, 04:59 PM From the updated newsletter:
Judging begins at [sic] will occur between 5:00pm and 7:00pm Eastern on Saturday. Room owner must be in their room to be judged.
So... I have an idea for the space theme. Does anyone want it? :)
mrshiny 07-13-2005, 06:03 PM I got idea. Does space have to be first word? Darn it does
Yes, but you could just put space and then a comma and then what should come before. Or space and then the whole name.
Space, personal
Space: personal space
Alexander 07-13-2005, 07:25 PM This is my dilema as well. Fitting it into a space theme isn't hard, but the judges might not "get it". Maybe I can find dictionary words to explain it.Mine involves Science Fiction and Fantasy. A dragon that can travel Space and Time collecting and hoarding things it likes. Anything from the Magic Mirror to Lumeire to even several pairs of glass slippers.
As a safety, I put in a few Flying Saucer chairs and an Astro Orbiter lamp.
I doubt they will get it as well. Even if you read the room description, it falls more into the relam of Fantasy than space.
lane junky05 07-13-2005, 08:09 PM question: In celebration is it limited to only 1 room or can we have a chain or celebration rooms?
question: In celebration is it limited to only 1 room or can we have a chain or celebration rooms?
Im going to guess its limited to one room. They dont have time for linked rooms. Also this is now up in the directions.
"Only one room may be entered per Player, please"
Alexander 07-13-2005, 08:24 PM "Only one room may be entered per Player, please"Makes sense seeing how we will be in our room for two hours while everyone is being judged.
I wonder if they'll get mad at anyone with a teleporter in their room.
Do you have to sign-up? my cousin is obbsessed with space and he really wants to enter
Alexander 07-13-2005, 08:32 PM Do you have to sign-up? my cousin is obbsessed with space and he really wants to enter
If you not already a member of VMK, yeah, I would think so. :Tongue:
If you not already a member of VMK, yeah, I would think so. :Tongue:
lol, i meant make your room part of the competition
Alexander 07-13-2005, 09:24 PM The only thing you need to do to sign up is make sure the first word in the room name is either Space or Celebration. At least, that's what I got out of the instructions.
bragoandcheri 07-13-2005, 10:44 PM doesn't anyboady see the problem with the celebration rooms?
the judging is from 10 to midnight!
my parents won't let me stay up that late!
:10_1_23: why won't ya die!
TinkerBlue 07-14-2005, 01:53 AM Does anyone know if the "one room per player" means just one room per theme or one room period in EITHER theme?
Ottsel 07-14-2005, 02:18 AM Does anyone know if the "one room per player" means just one room per theme or one room period in EITHER theme?
Since the contests are on different days and have different themse I think it means one room per theme. I think they were just trying to not have people link all their rooms together and try to get the judges to see all of them as if it were one room. I say try it, worst that can happen is the second day they won't accept your entry.
TinkerBlue 07-14-2005, 02:30 AM Thanks Ottsel, that is what I figured.
DarkKnightCecil 07-14-2005, 03:16 AM My space room is based on the old Flying Saucer ride that was in Disneyland a long time ago.
JasmineJasmine 07-14-2005, 03:36 AM lovePlease PM me how to find the link. I am so bummed out. I can't be there. I will be at Disney for my B-day which is this weekend:(.
hi :wave2:
i read your quote
i have been trying to find it but i can not
plz tell me if you now it :sadd2:
your friend
Jamsine Jasmine
XDisneyphileX 07-14-2005, 07:31 AM When the tomorrowland quest is found this weekend (that's when we're assuming it will be out, right?), will it's location be posted in this thread, or will someone create a new thread for it? It might be a little hard to look through 70-something posts to find one little piece of info (kind of like a needle in a haystack!) and many people have already said "has anyone found tomorrowland quest ?" so I don't know how useful 'search this thread' will be! :)
darthmatt 07-14-2005, 08:14 AM ill be on a trip
PirateMario 07-14-2005, 12:34 PM I'll do anything I can to win! :woohoo: look out Prize here I come :2455: Air Guitar! :music-smi
backdrop 07-15-2005, 02:27 PM what are you talking about?
prisoner 07-15-2005, 02:32 PM what are you talking about?
They are talking about the announcement in the VMK community newsletter about two contests this weekend and the new Tomorrowland Quest. Reading the first post on this thread (http://www.vmkforums.com/forums/showpost.php?p=25174&postcount=1) might help understand.
freakout 07-16-2005, 11:51 PM What time does the judging start for people in California?
LOL, As soon as I posted this, a message poped up: "Judging will be in 10 minutes, please be in your room!" he he :D
slayer 07-17-2005, 05:02 AM :CastMem: :CastMem: i am so happy right now i just got my mission space suit!!

PixieBelle 07-18-2005, 01:03 AM I think that the ten pm judging time is very unfair for those of us who don't live in the US (and young kids who have to be in bed before then).
For my room to be judged, I have to be here from 2am to 6am, and even in the US, kids will have to stay up until 1am EST (how many 8 year olds will be allowed to stay up until then?)
It's a weekend, surely we have all been on here most of the day, when it would be easier for them to judge everyone who wanted to enter.
Sorry to rant on like this, but I really wanted to enter! LOL

Lizbeth 07-18-2005, 08:38 AM You will be at Disney.
For your Birthday.
On Disneylands 50th anniversary weekend.
And you are bummed about this? :confused:
Enjoy the parks! The quests will certainly be around. You can probably go to the VMK desk and get them there.
my daughter's birthday was this very day. She spent it at Disneyland. When she went in, someone welcomed her, and when she told them it was her birthday, they gave her a sticker saying that and wishing her happy birthday.
lane junky05 07-18-2005, 09:20 AM i would love to have my birthday at Disneyland But NOT TODAY. I went at night time and it was crowded and everything was sold out. And if you wanted to get something that was out only on that day you had to Camp out in line lol physco's.
