I really did like the enchanted month..

they came out with such cool furniture!!

I really loved the castle that shot off fireworks, but I never had enough credits to buy it.

[MLKnCookies]

I didn't really like the Royal Month, it was too similar to Dreams month in my opinion. I loved those leaf pins that they would release every week. They also did that with the ornament pins in December.

It was the Hyperspace Mountain game in the Arcade of VMK(which you could access from Tomorrowland Hub, it also included Airlock Escape and Blast In Space.)

[Noelle]

I was good at the Airlock Escape game but could never get very far in the other two.

[Pink_Bink]

Ah, I miss VMK. :[
I remember I would always play pirates to get those leaf pins, lol.

[Centurey]

WHOAH the space ride a thon was in 06? I severely forgot about that! I thought it was last year. Seems like yesterday i was in a sweater, in my basement with a heater on my old computer on VMK playing with friends.

[Pisces]

Now Im really really missing VMK again... THOUGHT I was over it but...

[MLKnCookies]

Some of the people in the pictures for the high score on quests were my friends! lol

The leaf pins were ok... I only bought 1 or 2 of them..

I did really like the Ornament Pins though!!

And did they release furniture at all during dreams month? I don't remember...

[GraspingClaw]

Beating Hyperspace Mountain was one of my crowning achievements on VMK, because as far as I know, I still hold the world record for fastest completion. It may not be scaling Mt. Everest, but it's somethin'.

Ah, the Sorcerer Mickey Hat. I loved that hat... And the Space Mountain Guest Room was always so awesome!

And just seeing the Bear Rug mentioned here is significant to me because the Bear Rug Cute-or-Boot was my very first VMK event. I remember waiting in my first extremely long queue to see a bear rug placed on the floor with people all around it. I had no idea what "cute-or-boot" meant but I went out and bought the "cute" shirt anyways.

So many little memories such as this make me really miss VMK. Man, if I could play one more time...
