Grab your Mickey Ears and pop some confetti because we’re about to celebrate VMK’s 15th Anniversary! We’re going back to the basics by re-releasing some of the classic VMK items along with some new celebratory items!
The MyVMK Staff
Please note that the store releases will occur every two weeks this month! The second set of releases will be available in the Emporium beginning May 15th through May 31st!
MyVMK is now on social media!

We are changing the way keys are earned from mini-games. Instead of being based on number of wins or completed games, keys will be distributed based on the total amount of time spent playing mini-games. You will only be able to earn keys from Pirates of the Carribean, Haunted Mansion, Jungle Cruise, and Castle Fireworks: Remixed.
Bronze keys will be awarded every 25 minutes.
Silver keys will be awarded every 40 minutes.
Gold keys will be awarded every 55 minutes.
It does not matter if you switch mini-games; it is based on an overall timer. Meaning you can play 20 minutes of Jungle Cruise, switch over to Haunted Mansion for a 5-minute game, and earn a bronze key.
Previously, guests were awarded the rarer key if they were eligible for more than one. Now if the key times overlap, guests will be awarded all keys.
In addition, there are some small requirements that must be met:
In Castle Fireworks: Remixed, you must complete the game with a score of 2,000.
In Jungle Cruise, you must complete the game with a score of 30,000.
In Haunted Mansion, you must complete the game with a score of 25 ghosts per person.
If you find any bugs or exploits, we encourage you to report them so we can adjust this system as needed. This system is subject to change at any time and without notice. We will provide updates here if necessary. We hope you find this distribution method more fair and reasonable!
At the end of host events, the queue will no longer pull guests to the Esplanade. Instead, guests will receive the queue prize in their inventory regardless of where they are in the kingdom!
Pirates of the Caribbean Fixes: There is now an instruction manual! Retro levels work -- it can only be played in Ship Battle as it never supported CTF. The ammo glitch is fixed and now updates to show the true amount. Pirates invisible ships are gone -- No one will become invisible if someone leaves the game. Scores update properly to reflect the true score you have. Key distribution is no longer based on wins.
Haunted Mansion Fixes: There is now an instruction manual! The "Join Game" button is fixed. Teleporters are smooth to access and you don't jump across the screen. No more invisible walls (that we could find) and improved movement!
Jungle Cruise Fixes: The game will no longer have a lot of excess fuel/film.
Head over to the Emporium for the next set of releases! Reach for the sky with a set of Skyway Couches in Red, Yellow, Green, and Blue! Decorate your walls with a Tron MCP Poster. Throw it back to 2006 with a Expedition Everest Pin! Back by popular demand, you can now purchase Magic - Teleportation as well. Channel your inner pirate with Pirate Girl and Boy Outfits, and top them off with a Pirate Hat with Seagull's Nest. Don’t forget to plunder a Captain’s Quarters Couch, Pirate Map Table, and PPR Tiny Pirate Ship! And finally, feel fresh from the salon with Man Bun, Short Curlies, and Long Curlies hairstyles!
We are re-releasing the Anniversary Room! You will find it under the Rooms tab through the Shop Menu! Keep reading to find out about our next Room Building Competition and more information about how the rooms work!
We are also holding a special raffle in honor of VMK’s 15th Anniversary! You can buy as many tickets as you want -- more tickets means more chances to win! There will be several bundles raffled off, both old and new items! Winners will be announced on the 23rd. Check the Events page for more information!
Join us for our HOST events this month and see what some of your favorite HOSTs have been working on just for you! During the final week of May, winners will receive a Death Star Hologram Projector, those defeated will receive a Starry Galaxy Flat, and the queue prize is a Metal Spaceship Floor!
Join us throughout the month for our exciting Tortuga Trade pin-trading events! You will select a pin from the HOST's lanyard, shown above, and trade them one of your pins in return.
We do not accept Free (Log-in), NPC, or 1 Credit Pins!
Pull this month's exclusive pins from the Sword in the Stone! For a chance to win, ride the rides in the Fantasyland Courtyard and you will have a chance at getting a Sword in the Stone pin! You can use this pin to have a chance at pulling the sword from the stone, and if you succeed, you will win one of these pins as a prize or some credits!
Avast there mateys! Sail on over to the Pirates Treasure room for a chance to plunder some great loot! Be sure to collect as many of these treasures as ye can before they are sent back to Davy Jones Locker! Available all month!
Be sure to log in during the last two Sundays this month to attempt one of Crash's Sunday Quests and earn some wonderful prizes by GA_Genie! On May 24th, enjoy the Friend Like Me Sing-Along Quest starting at the Adventureland Bazaar! This quest will run for 24 hours and requires scores of 15,000 in Jungle Cruise and 1,000 in Castle Fireworks: Remixed.
The following weekend, on May 31st, there will be two quest paths to choose from. The more challenging Villains After Hours Quest will be available on Tiki Tiki Tiki Island. This quest requires scores of 51,000 in Jungle Cruise, 6,000 in Castle Fireworks: Remixed, and 100 Ghosts in Haunted Mansion. Prizes for this quest are a Maleficent Robe and Staff, as well as an animated Villains After Hours Castle pin! For those who would prefer an easier path, the Oogie Boogie Bash Quest will be available in the Adventureland Bazaar. This quest requires scores of 30,000 in Jungle Cruise, 3,000 in Castle Fireworks: Remixed, and 52 Ghosts in Haunted Mansion. Prizes for this quest are a Hades Robe and Skull pin! Thank you to GA_Genie for designing these prizes! Both of these quests will be available for 48 hours, but you may only complete one!
As a reminder, cheating during quests is forbidden. This includes doing quests for other players, having other players do tasks for you, or using other accounts to gain more than one prize. This means that you cannot complete one challenge quest on one account and the other quest on another account. Cheating will lead to infractions on your account(s) and the removal of your prizes!
Have you seen Maleficent Mistress of Evil, Frozen II, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, or Onward? After you log-in on the homepage, click on the Claim Movie Ticket Pins hyperlink and submit an image of your ticket to receive an exclusive pin! Due to current circumstances, players may submit a photo of any of these four movies on their screen (including Disney+ and Blu-ray) with their avatar in the picture. You may need to reduce the size of the screenshot if the file size is too large for your submission. It may take a few days for the pin to appear in your inventory, so please be patient with us our moderation team reviews them! Guests may only submit one screenshot for each movie. Multiple submissions will not be accepted.
Join us throughout the month for Meet & Greet and Penny Press pop-up events! In order to participate, you will need a Pressed Penny Collection Book and one Autograph Book (either Mickey or Minnie!). Both are available in the Emporium for 5,000 credits. You only need one of each to participate, but you may purchase multiple if you wish to decorate your lanyard with them!
In honor of VMK’s 15th Anniversary, we are re-releasing the Anniversary Room for another exciting Room Building Competition! You will have until May 25th to submit a design using one of these special rooms. With a dark room and an unlimited inventory of VMK items at your fingertips, we want you to wow us with an original room design!
Please note that teleporters will not work in these rooms, the furniture cannot be added to your personal inventory, and these rooms cannot be turned into a pin after purchasing. If you run into any issues while building, please send us a Call For Help.
The rooms will be judged on the following categories: Most Creative, Best Theme, and Best Overall. The judges will determine which category your room falls under.
Only one entry per guest is permitted. Using clones is considered an unfair advantage and will lead to the disqualification of your submission(s). Anyone caught doing so, even after prizes are distributed, will have their prizes removed from their accounts. Please put all of your efforts into a single submission! Rooms that show minimal effort will be disqualified.
To submit your entry, you will need to provide your in-game name, room name and description, as well as an image of your room design! Please Click Here and carefully complete the form by May 25th at 11:59pm EDT so we can ensure your room is judged! Any submissions received after this time will not be eligible. After you submit your room, please do not make any edits to your room. If you make any edits, please resubmit your room. Staff will be visiting your rooms to judge and we will need designs to stay consistent!
Winners for this room competition will be announced in June! Good luck and have fun!

Say hello to this month's staff of the month... HOST_Sprite!

I love to create and host events for the players.
What is the best item for building your rooms?
My favorite things are plants/trees, rugs and small items that can be used to give a room detail.

I would have to say Haunted Mansion.
