Fancy an impromptu game of Hide and seek with MyVMK Staff? All throughout the month, the staff will be hosting Hide and Seek games and hiding in public rooms only. Find one and you will receive an eyepatch! 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_/GR_) 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.

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!).

Two players will face off, racing first to get their generators to 12/25. When you've got Christmas' date on the board, dive into the lake! Take one of five paths back (use the ice crystals' points to find the ride starts). If you are seated on the throne, you win! If you come back elsewhere, try again, using another path.

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... HOST_Heimlich
What is your favorite thing to do around the Kingdom?
I love visiting guests with HOST_Barbossa and HOST_Zazu! We always have a lot of fun wandering rooms or playing games with guests. Never a dull moment!
What is the best item for building your rooms?
I love to use natural items in my rooms! So different trees and plants really make them pop!
What has been your favorite HOST event thus far?
I honestly think my host event this month, Battleship Galactica, is my favorite! It’s so fun and competitive, and I think guests enjoy it! I love having memorable catch phrases from my event, and I think my favorite is “let’s get this bread”.
What is your favorite mini-game in MyVMK?
My favorite mini game is definitely fireworks. I find it very relaxing!
What is your favorite type of Guest Room?
My favorite guest room is ‘bewitched bayou’. I LOVE ‘Princess and the Frog’, and it’s so beautifully made!
Favorite MyVMK memory?
I think my favorite memory is the first time HOST_Barbossa, HOST_Zazu, and I were testing our first ever host events together. We were all hired at the same time, so we really bonded over that experience, and it made me more confident to run my own events! It’s amazing to see how far we have come from that.
What is your favorite Public Room in the Kingdom?
Africa! I love to hang out there. There is always a party going on, I love it.
What is your favorite theme on VMK?
HMM... That’s a hard one. I really enjoyed the animal themed month we had this summer. Still hoping for a bug’s life month.... am I right?
What is your favorite Disney park?
Animal Kingdom for sure! I have never been to Disney, but that will be the first stop when I finally get to go !
Who is your favorite Disney Character?
HEIMLICH!!! Someday I will be a beautiful butterfly!! I have a Heimlich collection of items. I love him so so much!!
Is there any advice you would give to guests?
My advice is to just keep going. On the game and in life in general. Sometimes things are hard, but there is always a light at the end of the tunnel! I think Gr_Dory would be proud of me saying: “Just keep swimming!”
