VMK Remembered- December Holidays

[MLKnCookies]

Well, this is the third year that we are unable to play VMK during the December holiday season. And I believe we all miss the game dearly, especially when there are pictures all over this site (top of the page). Therefore, I got the idea to post pictures from the December Holiday Season on VMK from 2005-2007.

For instance, I remember joining the VMK Gingerbread contest in 2007 (I still have the original email), and of course I went a little overboard with buying gingerbread pieces (over 50K spent lol). Yes, I remember a LOT of weird details from VMK. Anyway, I built three rooms (one for the contest) and here are pictures:


MLKnCookies Gingerbread House (contest):


Inside Cookies House:


Outside Cookies House:


I remember spending hours building the rooms. By using the ride start pieces and teleporters, you were able to "enter" the house by going inside to the next room. From there, to go outside, step on the other ride start and "exit" the house. Lastly, to go back to the front of the house, step on the third ride start and "walk around" to the front. I think it was creative.

I'll add more pictures when I come across them. But what pictures or memories do you have from the holidays on VMK? Remember, they can be from December 2005, 2006, or 2007.

Hey how's it going?

I can't believe you spent over 50,000 :O that's amazing. I never had a ton of credits, but I wasn't poor in the game... if that makes sense. Like I had a ton of items, rare, etc. but I never seemed to have a ton of credits...

That's amazing what you built! I was never a real room builder, though I did enter one for best guest room (didn't win, but hey, I thought it was cool.)

Hmm, winter memories... I don't really remember a lot actually. Obviously my favorite part was the scenery. I liked just hanging around main street, instead of someones room. I met more people that way, but I had close friends as well. I also remember the items and though I never had a lot saved up to buy them, I got them one way or another haha. The holidays were always when the best stuff came out, and it was also a time when VMK seemed most happy

Wow, these pictures bring back memories! I totally remember visiting your gingerbread house in VMK before the contest. I thought it was the coolest thing ever.....(still do. )

I was waaaay too lazy to make a gingerbread house when the contest came along.

Wow, I totally remember that room! I hung out there a lot with you during December! (This is Harry_Fan btw)

My favorite part about December was the big New Year's Eve Party. I only made it to one New Year's party, but I had tons of fun, took lots of pictures, and I think we were even visited by some staff members. Plus it was the year confetti magic came out, so it was fun playing with that too.

I was never super rich on VMK. I never had a lot of credits or lots of rare items, but that's ok. I had fun, and made lots of friends, and it's the memories that have lasted now that the game is over.

I'm looking forward to seeing more pictures from people though! I can't find where I saved mine onto my computer. Otherwise I would share!

Nice, makes feel like I want to create something like that again. I miss it so much.

Cookies, your gingerbread house is amazing!!! I was always too busy around the holidays. Or maybe I was too lazy to earn enough credits. It was one of those two. Maybe both.

I believe I have some holiday screenshots somewhere on this computer. Found a couple:

Winter is what resembles VMK for me mostly. The gingerbread houses, the lights on main street, the VMK christmas music.... It was so magical and now that VMK is closed every time It's winter I get sad not being in my snowy gingerbread/candycane room
