I'll boycot the Disney movies over almost anything as they aren't very good (or atleast the more recent ones) but as for the parks, VMK isn't that important at all for me to boycot the park. I would rather see VMK go any day of the day, week, or year then to just not go to a Disney park.

They aren't going to change their mind, it's over, I think you guys need to try and be able to find a place where all of your contacts can meet as like I said before, I think staff will have a little bit more sympathy now that VMK is closing now.

I also got a question for some of you people, do any of you guys NOT have a life outside of school, VMK, and VMKF because I have seen some of these people on this site almost every single time I get on and I kinda feel bad for you guys how your life is truely half dead after VMK leaves the internet for good in about a month and a half. I don't want to seem Mr. Negative here but some of you guys are acting as your life is over but really, VMK isn't even something you can touch, just try and keep in touch with your friends and I don't think there is anything to be sad about.

Well I believe that my dreams are important too, just because I'm not famous or popular or anything like that doesn't mean I can't try for my dreams... That's like saying that I wouldn't let you try to get whatever you want most just because I think something negative about you.
Anyway, like princesstinkgirl said:

Part of Walt's dream was to allow people to keep things from before, and I definitely believe that keeping VMK applies

NOTHING is going to stop me from trying to keep VMK alive

Whenever I think of Disney World, I get this tingly sensation in my stomach, and I think of the wonderful time's I've had there. I have a Mickey Mouse tote bag I bought from our resort, and I use it for my bookbag at school. I love everything Disney.

When my friend told me about this game, I tried it, and I instantly fell in love. I joined back in beta, and had a few different accounts. I've always loved getting out of school, eager to get on this amazing Disney game with all of my friends! I didn't have to use the phone to talk to them; I could go on virtual adventures with them. It took me away from the school life; the hardships of it all.

When I got older, so did my friends, and they grew out of Disney games. I, however, kept hanging on, and always loved the magic that Walt brought to this world. It makes me teary-eyed when I think of all he has done for us. I remember a notable conversation with my friend.

"Have you ever wondered if Walt Disney is watching over us?"

"Yeah, sometimes."

"Is he proud of this game that reflects his parks, do you think?"

"I'm sure he is, Dani. He loves it."


Then my friend hugged me.

The thing was, we were fighting. Walt brought us together; the game did.

It's more than a simple game to me. You may think I'm crazy, but I'm not. I love Disney, and I always will!

Psh, they still don't give us a reason why it's closing. They just tell us that it was an advertisement. Which we already knew.

Yes a carefully non-threatening, promoting other sites response.
Like he was not contacted and told to stop the madness? Why are these kids e-mailing and calling us? Get a letter out to thank them and stop!!
LOL

I have to admit I did. Which makes me think Disney may have given Yavn something canned to say on the newsletter.

Yes! They're just repeating themselves! It's not explaining anymore, it's like all they can say is to "Keep moving forward..." It't not like staying firm on their decision is going to make most of us give up

Oh and sort of off topic, but did anyone else notice that Yavn signed the last Yeti safety thing in the newsletter?

Exactly! Canned response.... glad I was born yesterday so I wouldn't notice that. It's irritating that they think giving us something as lame as "the promo is over" will be good enough of an explanation.

If I lived anywhere near the offices in CA, you better bet I'd be down there in a picket line. Anyone want to join me?

Well problem with that is that you would need permission from the county to protest peacefully. However, seeing as Disney is private property, you may just be escorted off the grounds or arrested. So I would not suggest a picket line for this. I do not want to see children being hulled off in mickey hand cuffs - lol.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us, and we hope we
continue to see you at Disney.com enjoying what we imagine next!

Sincerely,

Dear ,
Wow, that's such a lame form letter they sent me. The "Dear" part was at the end, with a space for them to fill in my name, which they didn't bother to do anyway.

To quote Walter Elias Disney myself:

"To all who come to this happy place - welcome. Disneyland is your land. Here age relives fond memories of the past and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future. Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams, and the hard facts that have created America... with the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world."

Well VMK is our land, it gives us fond memories, and it's sort of a source of joy and inspiration to us. Why not just add the pay to play version of VMK? I think that they want to get new hype up for new games and get tons of money whenever new games open. I think that this is just out of proportion.

My husband has always wanted to see if the urban legend that Mickey Jail has sad Mickey faces on the wall is true......hum....

The Disney Lawyers gave them a canned response to send out is more like it is my take.

Another crock of ................ canned response letter. My personal favorite line was we are working on a way to recognize your VMK friends on our other sites. "Stay tuned for more information on that here in a few weeks." A few weeks my behind.............as you say VMK will be gone hence no newsletter
PS: Sorry wrong thread topic, this was quoted from my memory from this evening "Yavn's Speaks" newsletter update.
