[PrincessTiffani]

I was gunna say...... What about 2008! But then I realized, VMK closed in May so you really cant say this year

[StitchMad]

Gonna go ahead and reply to this before the next weeks is posted...

Blast in Space game.. well well well.. I do remember getting stressed over this game. I couldn't do it, yet Wendot and my good friend BigRrgh come on and get 60 million codes a day. Good times.. thanks to you two for the tips on that game, however they really didn't help.. or change my opinion how how bad that game was.. haha.

Pumpkin pin? Woot. I remember buying that, along with seeing that Halloween Bag for the very first time!! I think on my time on VMK, I ended up with about 30 of those candy bags.. they were one of my favorite pieces of furniture in game. Never did see a point in the Super Hero suit though, or the jafar hat..

Wait... wait.. is that a quest I see? Oh the joy of loading your clones and getting as many orange bags as you want!
Orange mickey pumpkin... only ever owned about 4 of them. White were way better imo..

Thanks so much for posting Up, can't wait to see next weeks!

Yeah i remember those good old days *sniff* especially the blast in space. That was considered EPIC back then lol

[UpInTheAir]

It's back again

[Ms.PrincessLucy]

Awe... I loved the halloween items from VMK!

[wombat]

I really like these posts as it is a little trip down memory lane. It also reminds me of all the different themed rooms I had and what were in them. I liked my halloween room but really liked my 10 room christmas train ride.

Sometimes I wish I had taken pictures but other times I am kinda glad I didn't.

I still have my big stack of VMK cards by the computer. I just haven't thrown them away yet.

[la4gator]

it was always funny how crowded the stores were

[Destination]

Awwww, I remember when I use to play Pirates all day to try and get all of the costumes.

And then I bought like a million of the Halloween Mickey Ghosts. lol

[GoodPolarGirl]

Those ghosts were just the cutest Halloween decorations ever. I saw a little ghost Mickey in the store, and that was the first thing that popped in my head. If it was large, floated up and down, and turned orange, I might have bought it.

[Jezzi]

I really, really miss the Halloween Mickey Ghost Orange, it was soooo cute!

I loved the Halloween Candy Dispenser too, and the clothes *sighs* I miss halloween on VMK, it was awesome.
