Find one and you will receive a special Hot Air Balloon Pin at random! 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 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.

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... GA_Thor
What is your favorite thing to do around the Kingdom?
Check out cool room builds! I love seeing what guests do with a given space / room layout and I’m ALWAYS blown away, even after having played this game since 2003, how you all can find new ways to tell a story with the given items and environments!
What has been your favorite item you've made thus far?
Working on the Animal Kingdom Expansion and being a part of that team has definitely been a treat! I’m especially proud of the Ice-Cream stand Bus in Anandpur. As a whole though, I love dialing in the feel of a space. There’s so much nuance in getting a room to feel like its real-life counterpart from materials used, to lighting, to subtle noises in the background you never thought you’d notice. All of that plays into what this game is about for me; having a small bit of the real thing, real Disney Magic, wherever you are and getting to experience it whenever you want!
What program do you use for designing?
I primarily use Blender for most of my designs. Blender is a free 3D design software (similar to Maya) but can be used for a wide variety of applications from rough designing or 2D animatics, to poly modeling, to a full-blown sculpting software similar in function to Zbrush. It’s fun to just mess around with and let your imagination run wild; you surprise yourself with what you can make!
What is your favorite type of Guest Room?
I’m partial to heavily themed guest rooms that find unique ways of using items to tell a story! I’ve been in the position as a guest where I can’t find that ONE item that would tie a rooms theme together and am always blown away by how other community members can repurpose different designs!
What is your favorite Public Room in the Kingdom?
Anandpur! When I’m at Animal Kingdom, that spot is about the point on the walk up to Everest that the anticipation for riding my favorite Disney coaster starts to build. The buildings begin to tell the story of the region and that story is reinforced by the sounds of the distant trains and howl of wind through the mountain range. All of this builds as you get closer and eventually see the mountain in the distance! We really tried to capture that same feeling in game. When you enter Anandpur, you see the shadow of the forbidden mountain on the ground to the right of the room, you hear the whistle of distant trains departing the rides load station, as well as the occasional boom of thunder, as if a warm afternoon Florida shower could be blowing in from the west.
What is your favorite mini-game in MyVMK?
I’ll admit it, I’m a Jungle Cruise stan all the way. Ironically enough, I almost never ride it when I’m at the parks!
What is your favorite theme on VMK?
Month wise, Tech month and Tech crates were a lot of fun to design for! Overall themes however, I really enjoy doing the 50th themed stuff! The overlays for the Esplanade and VMK Central as well as the statues are a lot of fun to dial in the look on!
Favorite MyVMK memory?
The first time I saw Festival of Fantasy as a guest! I had no idea something like that could be done in a game from the early 2000’s and it blew me away. It’s also what made me want to design for the game and convinced me that I could learn to make similar stuff!.
What is your favorite Disney park?
It depends on the time of day! I love a good early morning at Magic or Animal Kingdom. Crowds are less and the sun is bright, and the air is clean. I enjoy spending my nights at the parks at Hollywood Studios or Epcot. Nothing beats walking down sunset boulevard or around World Showcase at sunset for a late night wind down or a nightcap, you can find me at Disney Springs walking around taking in the sounds, smells, and probably downing a white chocolate candy apply from Goofy’s Candy Co.! (with peanut butter chips of course)
Who is your favorite Disney Character?
Figment! Got to love the embodiment of imagination and creativity!.
Is there any advice you would give to guests?
Remember why you started playing in the first place and make some magic for yourself and others! Most of us started playing so we could have access to a piece of something we love and experience a bit of Disney magic from home. Its easy to get caught up in the rush of rares, item values, events, etc. but make sure you’re still taking that time to find that magic that made you want to play in the first place; whatever that means for you. If you’re having trouble finding it today, try making it for someone else. Making someone else’s day better is magical in and of itself!
