Good Morning MyVMK,

Today is a very special day for our community. On May 21st, 2008, Disney closed the VMK gates for what was intended to be a permanent closure. Over the next 5 years, various projects like VMKUnleashed and GPVMK/VMK Revisited, and more recently OpenVMK, were supposed to be replacements for our game. Though through one reason or another, these projects fizzled out with little more than early alphas and unfinished ideas. It was not until 2013, with the help of Amy, that we were once again able to reopen the gates and come back to the Kingdom that we had loved for 4 years. We are able to relive our old memories of getting the high score on Jungle Cruise and POTC, but now there are new things to do like the Star Commander minigame and several new items exclusive to this remake!

In conclusion, I hope you will take some time today to reflect on your own memories with this extraordinary game on this special "VMK Day". I know I will...

And to quote Mickey and the last staff message from 2008, "See ya real soon"
