I still don't understand...

The reasoning that VMK was closed because it was promotional material.

I mean, sure, VMK was a promotional game. It was a promo for Disneyland's 50th Anniversary. Everyone knows that.

But thing is, there's ALWAYS an in-park promotion going on at the Disney Parks.

Like, 2006-2008. Year of a Million Dreams. Well, the three years of a Million Dreams. We saw a bit of cross-promotion through VMK with the Dreams chairs, shirts, rooms, and other items.

And it's not like this stuff ended. Now, in 2009, it's the What Will You Celebrate? campaign.

VMK was enough of a standalone entity to be able to tie in perfectly with whatever Disney happened to be pushing at the time. I don't understand why it was closed, really. They could have made lots more money off of it, had they only marketed the game and the parks properly.

But if you can explain, by all means, do so.
