There’s still time! 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 Staff as Boba Pins 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.

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

-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!).

Congratulations! Here is one of the comments made by our staff members:
I love the use of igloo pieces to create depth in the room. Their transparencies create a unique feel to it as the base structure. The use of firework emitters as a time was clever as well. Overall a clean and well constructed room! – HOST_Ariel

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… QA_Wall-E
What is your favorite thing to do around the Kingdom?
I love interacting with guests and trying to play video games. I wasn’t exactly optimized to win but participating is the fun part for me!
What is your favorite thing to do behind the scenes?
Recreating and documenting player reported issues can be challenging but it keeps me busy! (Please, please, PLEASE be as detailed as possible when submitting issues so the team can narrow down the cause sooner!)
Have you ever helped out with hosting or designing?
I don’t know if you’ve heard of the movie Wall-E before but I’m only good at collecting garbage, so I like to leave the hosting and designing to the professionals.
What is your favorite type of Guest Room?
I find the Tiki Tiki guest room one of the most relaxing rooms in the game. Small, simple, and calming! But that arcade room recently had me like (surprised Mickey emote icon).
What is your favorite Public Room in the Kingdom?
Captain’s Quest Quarters is one of my favorite rooms to pop in and interact with guests. Plus it’s nice to see other people picking up stuff for a change. (winking Mickey emote icon)
What is your favorite mini-game in MyVMK?
I really enjoy POTC for the team aspect, I just wish it was a littttle less violent. I’m usually sinking within the first 30 seconds.
What is your favorite theme on VMK?
Halloween is my absolute favorite time of the year. From the decorations to the tricks and treats there’s something for everyone to enjoy!
Favorite MyVMK memory?
My welcome party was probably one of my most memorable experiences. The team went all out for the decorations and the community was so warm and inviting. (plus the sparkles!)
What is your favorite Disney park?
Disneyland California is probably the most iconic. Saying anything else would be an insult!
Who is your favorite Disney Character?
I’d offer to give a hint but I think that it’s already pretty obvious!
Is there any advice you would give to guests?
Have fun and enjoy all the game has to offer. If someone is bringing the mood down in a room there are sooooo many other rooms to go see and find the atmosphere you’d like to be a part of!
