For showing outstanding acts of kindness and spreading love throughout the community, this months award goes to.. Expect!
"I’d like to nominate Expect for being a respectable MyVMK citizen. He keeps to himself, never looking for drama. Whenever a friend needs help price checking items, looking for items, or asking for help; Expect is always there to lend a hand. I’ve seen him greet players in-game as well as via forums to make people feel welcomed into this community. I’ll never forget the first time I met him on MyVMK. I was fairly new to MyVMK. It was a struggle to acquire clothing items and pins; whatsoever, Expect had the patience, kindness, and honesty to help a sister out. I’m glad to have met Expect and wish for him the best! To me, he is a Big Brother! <3" -Tea
Create a Great Guest Room! Get Recognized!
Guest created Guest or Game Rooms demonstrate originality in concept and design. Our judges are looking for creativity, so try using traditional items in different and unique ways. Rooms are judged randomly by MyVMK Staff every month and selected from guest rooms.
INTRODUCING….
Best Guest Multi-Room!
Like building series of guest rooms that go together either alone or with friends? Now is your chance to shine! The rules are as follows:
1. You can choose to submit as an individual or with a group of up to 4 people. If you choose to submit as a group, you must list ALL of the members of your group’s names in the submission form. Only members on the form will receive prizes if chosen as the winner.
2. Minimum 3 rooms for entries of 1-3 users and minimum 4 rooms for groups of 4. Each player on a team must contribute at least one room.
3. Best Guest Multi-room submissions will be judged every other month. Submissions will be open for the entire time between winners chosen.
4. Submissions must be a coherent series of rooms containing either a ride or a game. We want you to be creative and tell a story. We will be judging based on creativity and originality of theme and building techniques.
5. You may not use rooms that were submitted in a prior competition or have won Best Guest/Game room previously.
6. As a reminder, this falls under a category of BGR and as such those rules apply to this as well (aside from, of course, the no multiple rooms rule because… that is the point of this category LOL). The 6 month rule applies even if you won as part of a group.

The Best Guest Room Winner receives:

Create a game room and play with friends and others, and a MyVMK staff member may notice your idea! Game rooms that get the nod offer a new game idea or a new twist on an old favorite. In all rooms we look for room owners who welcome everyone with a smile and show a willingness to answer questions about their room.
May 2018 Best Game Room
Check out The Black Lake (Harry Potter Game) by Lucia! The Goblet of Fire has chosen you as the Champion. Now, against all odds, you find yourself representing your House in the second task - at the bottom of the Black Lake... You must follow your wand through the murky waters to save your House Orb before you run out of moves, but beware! The other House Champions are lurking in these depths as well, and they will surely be determined to get their Orb back to the platform first!
To save your House Orb, begin by standing behind your proper wand. After spinning the number wheel to see who will go first, the Champions will spin to find the number of spaces they may follow their wands forward. Once they have made it to their Orbs, they will have TWO spins to make it back to the platform, or else their time will "run out" and their Orb will fly away! The first Champion to make it back wins first place - but alas, some Tournaments will end with no official winners, as the Orbs may all fly away! Are you up to the challenge, Champion?
Congratulations!
The Best Game Room Winner receives:
- 10,000 credits
- A Castle Suite Guest Room Pin - plus furniture!
- Best Game Room Award Pin
- Plus! A party in Club 33!

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, the world’s biggest Orange Bird fan... GA_Tiki!!
What is your favorite thing to do around the Kingdom?
I like collecting all the fun items that I can and showing them off by creating different outfits and rooms!
What program do you use for designing?
I use Photoshop CC for designing, but I also highly recommend FireAlpaca for anyone who can’t access Photoshop!
What has been your favorite item you’ve made thus far?
I really like the Orange Bird Shoulder Buddy I made! He’s a good friend! I also really like my July Hide and Seek hat that me and GA_Alice collaborated on since we made it together and it reminds me of our friendship!
What is your favorite mini-game in MyVMK?
For making creds, spending time with others, and getting keys, the choice is obviously Pirates, but I also really enjoy Jungle Cruise just for fun!
What is your favorite type of Guest Room?
Even though I don’t actually own one, I really like the Splash Mountain Bayou Guest Room because of the inclusion of the Swamp Boys! They may not look much like they do in-ride, but it’s still nice to see them in-game!
Favorite MyVMK memory?
I actually met my current girlfriend through MyVMK, so getting to know her is a super fond memory! I also loved chasing around BB8 during Star Wars month!
What is your favorite Public Room in the Kingdom?
I gotta say the Drive-In, simply because that’s where I remember hanging out most as a kid on OG VMK! Back then, I was never a super hardcore player because I technically wasn’t allowed to play VMK, but I loved the social aspect and talking to other players!
What is your favorite theme on VMK?
I’m not a long-timer like some players, so I haven’t seen ALL of the themes, but so far this month’s theme has been my favorite! I did a couple of hats and the SITS pins, so be sure to look out for those! ;)
What is your favorite Disney park?
Disneyland! It’s actually the only park I’ve ever been to, plus it’s Walt’s original Magic Kingdom! It’s got a very rich history, and I love learning all I can about it!
Who is your favorite Disney Character?
That’s a hard one… I’ll go with my favorite obscure Disney character instead— the bird from the Bird in a Gilded Cage scene from America Sings!
Is there any advice you would give to guests?
Surround yourself with positive influences rather than people who only want to drag you and others down.
