Please read this important announcement regarding the future of VMK.

VMK will cease to operate and close its virtual gates on May 21st, 2008 at 10PM PST.

VMK was created and launched as part of a promotion to celebrate Disneyland's 50th Anniversary. In part due to VMK's success, the game/promotion was extended, however the time has come to end the promotion. For more information, read Yavn Speaks or our FAQ.

To add something positive to this post, the 50th Pin was one of my favorite pins.

I remember, I bought the tower of terror teleporter that day, on the positive side.
April 7...I remember that day. Normal cute or boot turned into a Save VMK room. I wish I could remember who was the room owner...

I was happy on April 6th winning my only quest award, until the next day when they announced they were going to close. That was a very awkward feeling.
