You know how VMK was originally released as a promotional game for Disneyland's 50th anniversary?

You see, i was never really too interested in Disney before VMK. I had only visited a Disney park once before as a child, not giving much thought to it. Well, I first joined VMK around October 2005, i know this because i vividly remember the Halloween motif; along with the superhero and Monsters Inc. events at the start of 2006. I do not live in the US, so i figured "ahaha you have no power here!".

Well, thinking about it now. I just realised how effective VMK was, oh dear. Ever since i started VMK, i have visited Disney World, Disneyland CA, Disneyland Paris (too many to count), Tokyo Disney... probably in total have bought a lot (well... more like a moderate amount tbh) of merchandise: a few pins, a few collectable figurines, Imagineering & other park related books, plush, food, Stitch in a Sorcerer Mickey outfit. Even staying on Disney property hotels!

I've been bamboozled all these years! I'm the cash cow! ....jk i still love the Dis, maybe don't spend so much money on Mickey.

Never enjoyed the merchandise, movies, and parks until VMK, too. Cut back on spending money on merchandise because I usually get buyer's remorse unless it's a gift for someone else lol. However, the park experience is well worth the money spent.

Strong competitive brand imaging is the magic of Disney ;)

Nice to hear you are as addicted to Disney as the rest of us by now. When I first joined myvmk way back in Nov. '13 and I heard you had never been to a Disney park or were not previously a Disney fan I was a bit worried you would lose interest in keeping the game going. So happy that was not the case. Keep up the great work that you and all the staff do. <3 <3 to you all.

I've always loved Disney but when VMK came out it sealed the deal for me. If I could go to the parks, I would all the time. I was absolutely devastated as a tween when VMK shut down, but the love for Disney kept going!
