This is Evoulie with the VMK News.VMK_Annie is our next VMK staff member to share some secrets with you:

1. Decorating your room can be a challenge at times. To move a piece of furniture, first be sure you are in Furnishing mode by clicking on the information button on the far left end of your VMK toolbar. Click on the piece of furniture you want to move, then click Move, and drag the furniture to where you want it then click it again to sit it down. Use this same process for rotating a piece of furniture. If an item will not turn, it could be too close to a wall or other item; you may need to move it first, then move it back after you have rotated it.
2. If your room needs a lift, try stacking crates and placing furniture on top of it. You can stack crates up to the top of your room and jump up to the top to sit on a chair.
3. Taking pictures in VMK is fun and easy, using your in-game camera. You can take pictures of your friends and place them on the walls of your Guest Room, or in a Photo Album. Then visitors to your room can view your pictures. Not sure where to get the camera and film? Simply click on the map button and click on VMK Central. Once inside, click the "Shop" button and you can purchase your camera and film there.
4. If you are visiting Popular Guest Rooms and want to know how a game works, or how the owner did something, ask them. Don't be shy! Just be mindful of your manners, and don't interrupt a game in progress.
5. A tip for getting high scores on the Jungle Cruise: take shots of all the birds. The Toucan can be worth 600-700 points for a flawless shot!

Whose secrets will be revealed next week? Come back to find out!

I just played Jungle Cruise. I had a few "flawless" shot of the Toucan and received 73-74 points per shot.

I just played Jungle Cruise. I had a few "flawless" shot of the Toucan and received 73-74 points per shot.LOL; I was laughing when I read Annie's tips yesterday. The toucan used to be worth nearly 1000 points for a flawless shot (more than the 600-700 she indicated), but now it is practically worthless. Clearly she hasn't been playing the jungle cruise in a while! :) It made me sad to see the toucan devalued in this way with the last major jungle cruise revision. In general, I think the large mammals are worth the most points now.

Don't worry, toucan...you may not be worth as many points now, but you will always have a special place in my heart!

The VMK Tour Guide at Disneyland made the same comment about the toucan. We didn't want to correct her and make her look bad, but all the guests looked each other and whispered "she obviously hasn't played in a while."

It looks like there needs to be a bit more communication between VMK staff and VMK developers.
