Animal Kingdom is here! Visit the Africa section and take a ride on Kilimanjaro Safari to see some animals and earn SITS pins! No single riders -- you can ride with your friends! Because of this, there is a boarding queue of up to 30 seconds. To compensate for the extra time, you will get the chance of earning a random extra SITS pin. We hope you enjoy it!
-The first set of store releases are now available in Shrunken Ned’s from June 4th through June 14th!
-SITS will expire in a week, just like POTC keys. Any current stockpiles from before the first week of June will have expired. With this change, the odds from the Stone will be more in your favor.
-Surprise! The beloved Quest Kiosk will also be fixed sometime this month!
-We will be updating the rules page to outline anything we have missed or worded poorly with an explanation if needed.
-Wilderness Explorer quests will be available every day this month! Keep reading to find out more about this exciting new series!
To show our support for Black Lives Matter, two new pins are available in Shrunken Ned's for 1 credit each. Please click here to read our Statement on Social Injustice.
Head on over the Shrunken Ned’s for the first set of releases this month! Craft a lush safari room with some Anandapur Flats, Dirt and Mud Paths! Celebrate the creatures of the world with some Antelope Horns, Mouse Ears and Ram Horns!

Bzzz like a bee with an adorable Bumble Bee Outfit, and go out for an adventure with an Explorer’s Green Outfit. Show your love for the environment on your lanyard with Wildlife Conservation and Love the Land pins! And finally, there are new hairstyles available in the store -- Natural Curls and Curly Side Pony! These releases will be available through June 14th!
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 first week of June, winners will receive a T-Shirt - Young Nala, those defeated will receive a Lanyard - Lion King, and the queue prize is a Mickey Head - Giraffe!

Join the MyVMK Staff for an impromptu game of Hide and Seek! All throughout the month, the staff will be hosting Hide and Seek games and hiding in public rooms only. Games will be announced as an in-game announcement and on our Twitter (@MyVMK) 15 minutes before the game begins. To win, you must find a staff member that is hidden, STAND NEXT to them, and be the first to say the following statement: “I found you (StaffMemberName)!”
Please note that the rules have recently changed, and players must WAIT to say the winning phrase until standing NEXT to the hidden staff member, rather than saying the winning statement as they enter the room, or while walking towards the staff member. Perfect grammar and punctuation is not required, but make sure to use the correct prefix (VMK_/HOST_/GA_/PROMO_/QA_) and try your best to type the statement correctly. Any magic used for an unfair advantage will result in a disqualification in the room the player is currently in. Winners will be up to the discretion of the staff member hiding.

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.

Submissions for the Anniversary Room contest are now closed. Thank you to everyone who submitted -- the rooms are all incredible! Winners will be announced later this month!

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!).

Ever wanted to know more about your favorite staff member? Now you can! Every month we will be interviewing a different member of the MyVMK Staff. Here is the most recent interview!
Say hello to this month's staff of the month... PROMO_Mochi
What is your favorite thing to do around the Kingdom?
Completing quests with my friends! I also like to see all the room designs people are working on -- there are so many talented people in our community.
What is the best item for building your rooms?
I use the ALR Painted Carpets to help soften a room’s edges and give more depth. Floating stars as extra decoration are nice too! Simple, but effective.
What has been your favorite HOST event thus far?
The Adventurer’s Club quest series in March was such a blast! Kungaloosh!
What is your favorite mini-game in MyVMK?
Castle Fireworks: Remixed. I love both the supportive and competitive nature of the game!
What is your favorite type of Guest Room?
The dark room for building, and Cave of Wonders room for newsletter photos!
Favorite MyVMK memory?
Probably the feeling of when I first joined in 2018! I had so much fun trying all the host events, trading for items, and making new friends.
What is your favorite Public Room in the Kingdom?
New Orleans Square
What is your favorite theme on VMK?
I enjoy the variety, but my favorite so far has been Mythical Nature. The furniture designed for that month is great for room-designing!
What is your favorite Disney park?
Magic Kingdom! I can’t resist the rides there. The PeopleMover, Haunted Mansion, Big Thunder Mountain...the list goes on and on!
Who is your favorite Disney Character?
If I can only choose one, then Yzma. WALL-E is a close runner-up!
Is there any advice you would give to guests?
I might be biased, but read the newsletter! Whether you’ve been in the community for years or you’ve just joined us — there’s a lot of helpful information posted here every week!
