It's great to have a new land, but it sure does throw off the symmetry of the map. We're starting to get cluttered here. How long before Mickey's Toontown is added to the Fantasyland side to balance things out?

POTC ride in WDW is in Adventure Land - that is why it stayed there.

"Club 33" is a by invitation only restaraunt in New Orleans Square at DLR - if you take the "In His Footsteps" tour you get to see the lobby if nothing is going on.

Woot it's look beautiful and I loved it! One thing about the new castle fireworks game It's WAY too fast for me. I wish it was just slowed down a bit and you don't get a lot of credits like you did before. I came in 4th place and only get 266 credits very little from before. I'm now checking out the new monorail station.

The VMK Pass works brilliantly too, have used it five times already and no hiccups.

Shame the NPC gator is in the cafe where people are eating/sitting down - it means you can't get in to get your credits, that was slightly bad planning, but maybe it will get better in time.

Yay! Went into Yavn's Club 33 and he showed off his flying carpet magic - so cool!

Although a party monorail is weird, it's actually quite cool. Now, the monorail has a reason for many players to go to it, and it has all new sounds. I agree, i had a lot more fun creating a techno sound with the monorail mixer than i do creating a Dj street-party sound with the main street music mixer. Also, i found it easier, meaning it's easier to blend sounds together.

I think i figured out how Club 33 is going to work after a week has passed.

See, some how players will be given a code word and tickets for the Club 33 room (not all players though, "special" ones over time). These tickets will end up working like the new single-use tickets. See, i figure what you have to do is go up to the Club 33 door in the New Orleans Square (while wearing the ticket like a pin) and say the code. Then, the door will open. This way, everybody learns the code word, but only people with the ticket (capable of being used for a certain amount of days) can actually enter. This should be interesting.....

If this is how it works, how are these "special" people going to get picked? Helping a HOST at an event, helping players in VMK, etc.? I don't know how VMK is going to pick these people.

my 3 guesses:


1. Doing something as a player that makes you stand out (Kind of like the Star Pin. You're respectful, nice, friendly, help out, etc.

2. Random give-a-ways

3. Games such as random trivia or yavn quests

What i really hope is, if you get picked, you can give away 3-10 extra tickets so your friends can join you

sorry, i didnt manage to get pics because so many questions were being asked. Anyway, here are details i found out about Club 33 through HOST_Sparky:

1. HOST_Sparky said it will be used for certain host events

2. He confirmed my question going along the lines of "will this room be used by certain players with ' invites ' from certain events or something similar?" He replied with a yes but the details are still being worked out.

Now we know a little more about Club 33. Enjoy it while you can, after this week is over, we won't be able to easily click on the room and enter it.

So the room might be used as a prize for a host event? I wonder if it will be a random prize like, "Ok everyone, instead of playing for an ice cube chair, you're playing for an invite to Club 33." That will be fun if it was like that! :)

Does the food cost credits? The real Blue Bayou restaurant is expensive!

Ther is no longer a certain amount of players that can enter a queve. Because of this, they have created vmk pass for guest rooms. With it, you can simply just wait the old fashioned way, or click "vmk pass" after entering queve, and you get to play vmk while waiting with a little "pass" on your screen. I'ts explained somewhere on the actual vmk site i believe.

It would really be cool if the VMK Gallery was a shop. They should sell collectible room decorations!

If you knew how hard it is to get into the real Blue Bayou Restaurant at Disneyland, and how expensive it is, you might appreciate VMK's version a little more. Be glad we don't have to make reservations weeks ahead of time, or empty our virtual wallets..... ;)
I agree Alice!!!

I like the idea of the gallery being a shop. They could even sell limited editons of rare things every once in a while for ridiculous amount of credits.

Thankfully not, i think. *rushes to check credits* Nope, no credits lost. But then again thats probably because of his credits and the monorail credits. Guess we'll have to check on this later today

I love the new land at VMK, I was so excited it was New Orleans Square, this is my favorite land of all the Disney Parks.

MinniesDream
01-09-2007, 02:18 PM
The only thing about the new land that I don't like is the fact that it is so... out of place. Don't get me wrong; I like the new land and all, but it just seems like Yavn rushed it a little much. They have three rooms, and one of those was already made, The Haunted Mansion Lobby. When you look on the map, it just seems like they barely squeezed it in there. Although they made a "virtual path" going from from Frontierland to New Orleans Square, it still looks a bit crowded.

As for the statement of "Mickey's Toontown Fair," I must say that the odds aren't looking as well as you - and me - have hoped. When the newsletter came out and explained the "VMK Pass," there was a room that was related to Mickey's Toontown Fair. I have asked numerous times to VMK Staff about this release, and they have said many many times that this does not mean anything, it was just a clever plan to get you and me excited. I believe that someone on this fourm (Please correct me if I'm wrong.) has talked to Yavn or a VMK Staff member, and has made a thread about it, and the conclusion was that Mickey's Toontown Fair was most likely NOT going to be released.

Although, VMK does have a Toontown Fireplace, that oddly looks almost exactly like a Toontown item, or at least, more than I expected it to. The Toontown Fireplace might be a hint, saying that Mickey's Toontown Fair might actually be on VMK. The biggest problem I see, however, is the maximum amount of things you can have one one map. I cannot picture Mickey's Toontown Fair being added anywhere on the map, and I really don't think that having two maps would be the most accurate thing to do, because the other map would be empty, with only one land. It doesn't really make sense to have that, you know?

Back on Topic: The "Gator Waiter" is really cool. I always am in there eating with my friends, and overall it's real fun. VMK did a great job on New Orleans Square, but I think that they could have added a shop. Although, I completely understand that making these virtual items and people is extremely hard to do, and most likely it would have slowed down the process of the release. Instead of releasing the new land yesterday, if they made new clothing, they might have had to release it next month.

Isn't it so that Frontierland doesn't have a NPC now? The three ghosts are part of the Haunted Mansion rooms, and THM is moved to New Orleans Square... :)

Yes, or a game. And there is room on the Frontierland Map, a place holder, for something. So that will be something to look forward too.

And I really hope that they eventually add a shop to New Orleans Square. Afterall, that is what I mostly do at the one in Disneyland. It has all those cute little stores...

I agree on having the shop, but Yavn even said this would be VMK's littlest land. He said there would only be four rooms.:new_year:

If you remember the poll that asked what type of game should be added next? I am thinking we could see a new game in the next few months based on the fact New Orleans Square was also part of a poll for the next new land to come out.

Now that we have New Orleans Square... do you think we will have a Mardi Gras celebration? When is that, by the way, in February or March? I wonder what kind of celebration they might have. I am guessing that it will be nothing like the real Mardi Gras in New Orleans (e.g., no drinking, no flashing, et cetera).... but it would be pretty cool if they had beads! Maybe they will have bead necklaces for sale.

Is there a shop in New Orleans Square?

It's great to have a new land, but it sure does throw off the symmetry of the map. We're starting to get cluttered here. How long before Mickey's Toontown is added to the Fantasyland side to balance things out?

>.< Soon I'm hoping . . . soon

It does look cluttered, unless they get rid of the Guest Room tiny little blue sign, at the top of the map and put Mickey's Toontown. Then put the land on the big map on the Fantasyland side. So you'll still be able to acess the Guest Room option at the whole map.

:D

ALSO: A nice addition though, would be to have a New Orleans Store . . . heh.

But vmk did do ALOT of cool new stuff . . I'll let them take their break. . . for a few weeks . . ;)

This year, Mardi Gras is on Tuesday Feb 20.

It is always 40 days before Easter.
