Join us for impromptu games 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 a special Gemstone 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.

We are proud to announce the release of our new Bug Reporting tool. We’re calling it the Cy-Bug Reports Google Form and you’ll have direct access to report any technical issues you find while exploring the kingdom. When reporting an issue, please be sure to fill out all required fields. Here are some examples of issues that could be reported (please do not report these as they’ve already been documented):
-Friends lists are not populating until you double click on the middle of the menu
-Puppet String hat gets stuck on avatar
-Photos are sometimes warped when you use the MyVMK Camera
Please note that the following issues should NOT be reported in this form, and should be reported as a Call for Help in game:
- Item(s) missing from your inventory
-Not receiving a HOST event prize when you believe you should have
-Issues with tasks in a Quest
To report an issue, you can access the form by clicking the link below. We recommend saving it as a bookmark for future reference!
Let’s work together to find and squash some Cy-Bugs!
Have you seen Maleficent Mistress of Evil, Frozen II, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Onward, Cruella, Raya and The Last Dragon, Luca, Black Widow, Soul, Jungle Cruise, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, The Eternals, or Encanto? 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 as 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!
Heigh-Ho! Heigh-Ho! It’s off to build we go!
In honor of both the month of love and our theme of Be Mine… Let’s welcome our newest competition! Freshly mined out of the MyVMK caves comes our first duos challenge. Now, what does this entail? Well, read below to find out. Be ready to have your pickaxes and shovels ready to dig into these details!
1. Each team must be a duo. No more and no less than TWO guests.
2. There is a minimum of FOUR rooms per duo. A maximum of EIGHT is allowed.
3. The rooms must be made using Everest/Yeti ride pieces and teleporters. You may use slow or fast dark ride starts to change your ride's speed.
4. You may create a duo name for your team. Make sure it is appropriate. Ex: Dynamic Duo, Fintastic Duo, Disney Duo, etc…
5. Decide who will be your team leader. Their room will be the first on the journey.
6. Your first room will be (Team Name) Duo - Start (owned by the team leader). Each room after the start must be named (Team Name) Duo 2, (Team Name) Duo 3, (Team Name) Duo 4, and so on.
7. BOTH team members must contribute to the competition. ONE team member cannot build everything. This is a teamwork event. Anyone found to be building alone or for others will be disqualified.
8. Make sure all rooms are connected. Once judging starts, if your rooms are not connected, they will not count.
9. Be aware, you may only be a part of ONE duo.
10. Please make rides long enough to enjoy the room. While there is no set minimum time overall or per room, make sure each room is a decent length and continuous (no breaks/stops).
11. Feel free to be creative. While our primary theme is mining and the tracks are Everest related, this does not limit you to either. Have fun trying to get creative with it!
12. All ride rooms must show a MINIMUM EFFORT. Any rooms found to show no effort or attempt will be disqualified.
13. All rooms must be completed by the dates listed in the next set of guidelines.
The guidelines for registering are as follows:
1. Sign-ups begin on Monday, February 14th, 2022 at 12:00 AM EST.
2. Registration will close on Monday, February 28th, 2022 at 11:59 EST.
3. All rooms must be completed by Sunday, March 13th, 2022 at 11:59 EST.
4. Once signed up, you may change any info (whether it be teammate, team leader, or duo name) until Monday, February 28th, 2022 at 11:59 PM EST. After that, all duos are final and may not be changed.
5. Only your team leader should register.
6. Please list both your name and your partner's name on the signup form.
7. Submit a name for your duo, that you both agree on.
8. Provide us with the email associated with your in-game account. This will help us verify you registered for this competition and help deter any potential false submissions.
9. About the above: This information will remain private and not be shared with anyone.
All rides will be judged on four categories:
Best Theme, Most Creative, Players Choice, and Best Overall
For each category, there will be ONE Grand Prize team and FOUR Runner Up teams. The staff judges will decide what category your room falls under. The final category will be based on a player vote, where all rides will be shown via a YouTube link. Players will vote for their Top Five rooms. This category will be determined during staff voting and will help determine our winners.
Judging will begin on Monday, March 14th, 2022 at 12:00 AM. Your rooms must be completed before then. Judging time may vary. We will be giving you more information regarding this as the time comes.
A staff member will place a flag in your room once it has been judged. Please do not empty or clear any rooms until judging has been completed. Feel free to leave your rooms open for the public to see!
Please make a note: Neglecting to follow any of the rules stated above may put your duo at risk of disqualification. No clones or multiple accounts are permitted to be used during this competition.
We cannot wait to see all your creations! Let’s see who shines like diamonds or who will be our diamond in the rough! All prizes will be announced at the end of the judging. Happy mining!

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_Dante
What is your favorite thing to do around the Kingdom?
My favorite thing to do around the Kingdom has to be my pop-up photo events. I love interacting with the guests and how they get to be a part of a magical picture moment. Gotta do them more 2022!!
What is your favorite thing to do behind the scenes?
I love talking to staff and just having these “omg what if we do this?” and seeing how everyone goes LETS DO IT, and we end up doing it. Oh and obviously the bingos! I wish I could say more ;)
Have you ever helped out with hosting or designing?
This doggo has helped out with hosting a few events and helping with others like forum contests and Bingos, but I don’t really design. I do love brainstorming amazing great ideas that eventually are in game. Wow without the GA’s I do not know what I would do though!
What is your favorite type of Guest Room?
Beauty and the Beast Ballroom, it was my first room pin that I ever owned and the detail in it is amazing. Not to mention that I love that movie so much. Having it in game felt like it was meant to be.
What is your favorite Public Room in the Kingdom?
I have to say Explorer’s Tent. I have such good memories there with my friends and I am an expert in that room when playing Jungle Cruise. I crush it EVERY TIME.
What is your favorite mini-game in MyVMK?
I have to say Haunted Mansion, I love to chat and still slurp up some ghosts. Not to mention that I do have a personal high score, hopefully I beat it soon.. Wanna guess how many?
What is your favorite theme on VMK?
I feel like I am one of the few, but Star Wars. I love the franchise and it’s just so fun to see what new items, quests and events can be done with it!
Favorite MyVMK memory?
On my birthday I had the honor of having a party made for me and we had such a good time that I literally fell off my bed laughing about a glitch that happened in game.
What is your favorite Disney park?
Easy: Hollywood Studios. I love the combination of the different themes that are available to explore in that park. Also let’s be real, it is because of Star Wars.
Who is your favorite Disney Character?
I obviously LOVE Dante, but I am in love with Moana. The way she is and how she loves water, is very similar of who I am in real life.
Is there any advice you would give to guests?
This is actually advice I got my first day into joining the game, but literally explore around the kingdom and just say hi. You never know who says it back and becomes your best friend. I actually did that, and I made so many friends that way, specially in the mini game lobbies. Also, don’t be afraid to make personal goals! It feels so good once you accomplish them, it can be anything like a high score of a mini game or getting a dream item. Don’t ever give up, trust me.
