thank GOD someone covered this. i was so deep into this game as a kid that when they announced that it was going to shut down, i remember sitting with my parents to talk about how big of a blow it was. i made a handwritten petition that i had people in my class at school sign (who, granted, had never once played this game before) so that i could send it to Michael Eisner. i migrated to VFK for years after, which wasn't the same but still had such charm. i was also an avid toontown, club penguin, and pixie hollow kid (how did i have the time????) but nothing hit the same as VMK. my cousin and his now fiance literally met on VMK and are getting married this year. all to say, this game holds fond memories and was a core piece of my childhood, so thank you for documenting it. final thought: if you've ever played cute or boot, then you deserve a veterans discount and therapy to unpack all of the rejection.
This game occupied my entire life from ages 10-12. I cried when it closed. I then joined the VMK Magic (VMKM) forums, which eventually turned into Disney MMO, and am still friends with many forum members to this day. I even went to the same college as one of them worked at, and was constantly within 500 feet of him at all times. Fun fact: My cringey VMK music videos still exist on my old RU-vid channel. I spent HOURS on them.
genuinely baffling to me how Disney chose the company responsible for Habbo Hotel to make this. like they saw the rampant teenage capitalism and gambling issues and thought, "yeah that's the game company we want to be associated with!"
I loved vmk so much, I was local to Disneyland and had a family friend who worked at the parks so I was the 1% in vmk despite never going to the parks the entire time it was running lol. I got banned for 999 years because a Community Leader baited 10 year old me into asking where they lived which was a HUGE bannable offense. I was devastated. It was the first major virtual world I played besides neopets lol. It gave me my first online nickname. It would auto-generate them. My government assigned vmk name was lolobanana
Oh wow! I said the state where I lived and only got banned for a week! Looks like it was really just up to the CL whatever they felt like punishing people with! I was MysteryDiamond.
I played the original VMK a lot as a kid. The most fun part was going to different private rooms and winning prizes from them to wear or put in your own personal room. People would come up with really fun games or interesting room designs and sometimes, people would just randomly give you furniture and clothes for free. I had the Alice in wonderland themed room and the music that plays when you enter is still extremely nostalgic for me!
Are those earrings of the tbh creature?? 😭❤️ Idk how well documented this is, but I remember a prevalent feature of the original VMK was that clicking someone's avatar would pull up a little window with their username and a short bio. It was pretty standard to see bios that said "single" or "taken" at the end as vmk had the average kids' virtual world problem of everyone trying to date each other. There were also pigtails or bald heads, primarily worn by people who were doing adoption roleplay.
oh my god i've been DYING for someone to cover this. i remember my brother and i building a "rollercoaster" in our little house from the parts of the Mt. Everest ride-- people would visit us and then leave immediately because it was really small and they though it was lame. I also remember going to Disney World one year and looking for specific items in the gift shops to get items in the games!
The shrinking rooms are actually a reference to a long defunct Tomorrowland ride called "Adventure Through Inner Space"! Defunctland did a great mini documentary on it. Kind of warms my heart that the designers of this game put so much thought into callbacks like that, it really feels like a labor of love. Also, the Alice in Wonderland ride in VMK also has a feature similar to Peter Pan, where you can travel through the scenes the same way you would irl. As a major Disney parks nut with a great fondness for the Wonderland area of Fantasyland, I was totally obsessed with it as a kid. Thanks for your overview on this, brought back a lot of fond memories.
remember kids, "when profits begin to dip, its time to jump ship" - izzzyzzz wonderful video li !! i love this series no matter how unintentional its existence may be lol, watching this while i recovery from sickness lol
The social element of the game really was everything, it was like if the point of Club Penguin was to trade items and host igloo parties. VMK had roleplay rooms, fashion contests, user-built rides, and tons of other activities made primarily by the players. There were always new items and collectibles, and always someone hosting an event with the Shiny Thing TM that you desperately wanted as the grand prize. When I was very young I made the mistake of offering my first rare item as a prize for a game I was hosting in my room, and was so excited that people showed up that I forgot I'd have to give the item away. I tried to change the prize midway through the game, and one of my guests reported me lol. The legacy remakes are a great resource and I'm glad they exist, but me and my sister tried playing recently and it just wasn't the same at all. I also remember playing VFK at school! It was super clunky and even as a kid I was confused about what you were supposed to do in the game. I wish they'd kept VMK going if only so I could log in and relive the nostalgia that all of the furniture items give me
I guess i'm a 1%er (grew up in Kissimmee, went to the parks most weekends and some days after school, 1-2 times a week in the summers) so I had all the park quest items now I have a lot of useless VMK trivia etched in my brain! My family played constantly, and we had stacks and stacks and stacks of in park quest items. My parents used to have VMK date nights and my mom and I were very competitive with the fireworks game. The reason you can't walk in space is because it's another area you need an outfit to access. Another day 1 item that became a status symbol was green flip flops. A close family friend who was a monorail operator was friends with Yavin, and the moderator consensus seemed to be that it finally closed because it cost money to run and wasn't a draw for the parks anymore. The most active players were often people with annual passes and closing VMK wouldn't really hurt those numbers so Disney ditched that money pit. Because of exclusive item scarcity people would often sell cards online, I recall the Disco Inferno effect going for up to $400 on eBay. Some people would mail cards to friends who didnt live near the parks, and if you did live near the parks you probably had a stockpile of unredeemed exclusive promo cards to give to visiting family and friends. Some items were limited promotions, often player rooms and things related to TV and movie IP like a piano from High School Musical park exclusive card. The whitelist chat feature created a series of workarounds known to players. You could say nonsense and spell out swears with the first letter of random words, and one of the most common chat workarounds was saying "I glove you" because for some reason you could not tell another player you "love" them. I think that was to discourage the whole virtual relationship thing, they didn't want a culture of VMK boyfriends and girlfriends like you'd find on Club Penguin with 12 year olds. There were also a lot of scammers who would use the trade system and emotional manipulation to convince you to give them rare and status symbol items to "borrow" and run off with. Moderators couldn't do much about it, the trade system was just a pop up menu that allowed you to set up trading or gifting. There was no even trade requirement, so you could give someone something for nothing and thats how kids would get scammed. I got scammed out of a pink princess shirt once. My mom just gave me hers and told me not to trade with anyone we didn't know irl, but for most kids it was kinda devastating because they couldn't just go to the parks for another item card and rarely had people who would simply replace the item for them. I can probably answer some questions and fill in some blanks, but I was a child at the time. My parents played more than I did, so I have access to other expert daily players who might remember niche things.
There was also the work arounds that "hosts" actually taught us when they would host games that needed numbers, so to count to ten you had "on, too, tree, for, ive, fix or mix basically a few words worked for six, even, mine, and tent." higher numbers were just a combo of the "new" replacement words.
And here it is! I was super addicted to this game for the last-ish year it was active. What boggles me though is that they never really advertised this game. Or, if they did, then it must have passed by me completely. I was one of the kids who grew up close to a Disney Park and, to be blunt, privileged enough to have an annual pass. Unfortunately, by the time I started playing, they'd mostly stopped doing special, free quests at Disneyland and I had to rely on eBay for a couple of special items (cough cough the High School Musical room). But, yes, most of the magic was with the friends I had met through there, and even though I have trouble recalling most of what I did on there nowadays, there are some memories from there that I'll always treasure.
i learned about VMK through a promotional video mailed to our house after my family booked our first WDW vacation. it had just recently launched and i was absolutely sucked in, played it all years of operation. that's how i learned about it tho!
So how I found the game was actually in the pin shop at downtown disney, they had a brochure by the checkout counter that said "join VMK!" and had a bunch of pictures of the website and rooms and was how I asked my parents if I could play it. The marketing almost feels like it was going for people who were already at the parks since the kiosks where in the parks for you to make an account. A lot of the quests were also given to you on a sheet a paper or in their own brochures with scratch off answers. I believe like the "Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom" interactive "games" was to give families something to do besides adding to wait times in the parks. Yes some of the quests you had to ride a ride to get the answer to scratch off, most of the quests had you walk all around the magic kingdom, like looking for hidden mickeys or doing the cookie strolls in epcot.
I didn’t go to school until 9th grade, and my parents never supervised my computer time. In 2008, I played VMK from opening to closing. It taught me how to type quickly (not efficiently though lol), learn internet shorthand and I enjoyed it a lot. I don’t remember about half of the mini games you covered in this video, which makes sense since my main focus was acquiring rare items. I did this through quests and playing “Cute or Boot,” a popular player-hosted game show. The two items I wanted the most were the red “Stitch ship” hat and the cowboy pants. Unfortunately I never got the former. I had the chance to get it, but I let another player trick me out of my rare Tron suit because they were “mediating the trade.” I cried a lot after that. Sadly, although this game was heavily moderated, I experienced my first instances of racism through players refusing to play certain games with me since my character had dark skin. After the second incident, I gave my character pink skin and hair which I wish I didn’t feel required to do in order to have a fun time.
bro i was on youtube for the VMK closure, there was a whole fandom video of people singing a song to save vmk, it gets stuck in my head sometimes but the vid is long since gone. core memory
OH MY GOD I"M SO EXCITED TO SEE U TALK ABOUT THIS. i played VMK for hours every day for an entire summer when i was a kid, it was my favourite kids online world ever and nobody i've asked has ever even HEARD of it
Once again I'll sit down for a good part of my day to hear about a virtual world I was literally never even aware used to exist :) Also loved the ad hehe
vmk was quite literally my favourite game as an elementary-aged kiddo! and i have been WAITING for your deep dive video into it so thank you very much for this nostalgia kick! :) PS: the reason you couldn't access that walking area in the space place is because you didn't have space suit magic activated. ;D
i was too young to play VMK, but i knew about it from a series called Kingdom Keepers by Ridley Pearson. the main characters played it, and it's just been stuck in my head since i first read it. so cool to finally learn about it! awesome video! 💜
Oh man I remember reading that series as a kid after VMK had closed and not knowing what VMK was so I just figured it was a made up thing for the book series.
(My first comment disappeared but) I just wanted to express how grateful I am for your presence in this newly discovered rare niche I’ve discovered through your Barbie girls video. Flash player games are just so nostalgic I miss them so much but not as much as I miss the virtual world game “Wiglington & Wenks” where you learn world history by teaming up with two archeologists who happen to be two “mice people” by going back in time and putting back misplaced historical artifacts that have been scattered throughout time by a villain. Does anyone remember this game because I am starting to feel like the only who remembers and was devastated when the site closed as a kid😢
Oh my god im only a minute into the video but i had to pause just to applaud your incredible ad performance, whatever theyre paying you is not enough. Edit now that I've watched the full video: I just wanna say I love all your videos and appreciate the effort you put in to making them. This video has made me interested in something I've never even heard of!
I found li through her Polly pocket video and honestly I love her voice it’s so calming and she talks about such niche topics that no one talks about :)
As diehard theme park fan, Virtual Magic Kingdom is fascinating to me. So many areas are less 1-to-1 recreations of the Disneyland park and more like a fanciful blend of many different parks, extinct rides and attractions, and things that could never actually exist. Seeing you explore the virtual world while knowing how the real parks are laid out is like having a dream about walking around your house. Everything is just slightly off and surreal. It honestly makes me want to play it just for that experience
Someone HAS to remember the nick online game. You could dress up and walk around places, similar to msp or any virtual world that was around at the time. i don't remember much but I KNOW FOR A FACT IT WAS REAL
@@meaghansadventures1641there was nicktropolis and another nick virtural world as well. You could go to a music lounge and chat while they played music videos in the background
thank you so much for this!! i've been DYING for your vid on vmk-it was basically my entire life as a middle schooler. i basically learned how to type from playing it! i was so devastated when it was announced it was closing & vividly remember spending the last hour doing the dumb default dance in the esplanade with my friend (who'd gotten me into the game) til they pulled the plug. i play a bit of myvmk as an adult but you're right, it's seriously not the same without the massive playerbase and huge social aspect. it's so sad.
Never played this one myself, but I remember reading a children's book series that used the theme parks as a setting and they mentioned VMK CONSTANTLY... the way it was described, it always seemed way cooler than it actually was lol as an aside I love the tbh earrings
FINALLY someone remembers VMK. My favorite was going to the theme parks to do the real quests and get the redeemable code cards. They even had a VMK tour that you could earn at the parks and you would get super rare card items. I never got the Stitch Hat card, which you could only get by staying at the Disney Hotels. I remember writing emails with a much of my VMK online buddies where we said we would pay for a subscription. We listed out of allowances (or in my case, willingness to get a job) to have the game stay open. I miss that website, and the people I met.
I really drafted up a hand written petition to the CEO of Disney that i had my class of like 20 kids sign (who, btw did not play the game and must have thought i was so weird). Hate to think that my activist roots trace back to trying to raise allowance money to give corpo giant Disney to keep open my fav game
Disney adult fans are THE WORST online, speaking as someone who used to sell merch on Depop. I straight up stopped bc off how awful almost every interaction was. This really doesn’t surprise me all that crazy stuff happened considering online communities are already. Combining that with my personal Disney adults experiences? 😬
i remember as a kid knowing about the in park rewards, and finally when we went to disneyland the park had stopped implementing the in park quest related stuff so there was nothing we could do, also at the same time that was when the finding nemo ride opened in 2007 and they were giving away free VMK furniture codes for a submarine piece you could put in your room that was related to the finding nemo ride
Thank you for making this video. I played VMK when I was a kid and the people I befriended on there were the friends I had growing up. I didn’t know anyone in the real world that knew this game and even growing up and turning 30, I still cherish the times I had with the people on there. I wish I was able to get their information before it shut down.
vmk meant so much to me! it was such a mess, but i have fond memories of completing the quests for diving/autopia/space magic, chatting with people in various overworld spaces (the blizzard beach pool area was a vibe), grinding minigames for cash so i could decorate my room, mixing garbage beats, and generally getting up to as much mischief as i could without getting banned. much like free realms, i just sort of let it go with a heavy heart - i'd heard of restoration projects but did not witness the drama first-hand.
I was waiting for this video! 🥺 Literally made my acc with this name when I was younger bc I was so obsessed with VMK, even my profile pic is from VMK LMAO I’m never changing it for purely nostalgic purposes
I found this, like… days? Maybe? Before it closed. I was captivated, mesmerized, in love, and then it disappeared and since it was such a short experience for me it sort of just faded into a vague background memory. I didn’t know it that well, so seeing JUST how much was in it blows me away. Plus, being intensely too into Disney now it’s neat to see the many Easter eggs and references and places I’ve come to love in the actual parks. The team that built this really knew what they were doing!
IM SO FREAKING HAPPY YOU DID THIS. I spent my childhood on VMK. I was there when the gates closed. I had collected so much random stuff that I was obsessed with. Miss it still.
Im going to cry this was my favorite game of all time and I have played some private servers and I cant even get into it anymore because theres a bunch of bullies and zero community rip
I played MyVMK on Day 1 in 2013 and the drama was so bad. So i left for a few years and then came back to see what the game had added and what not. I started playing it alot more because there was so much more stuff to get. However, the drama with trading was getting bad, drama with lots of players attacking others non-stop, the drama on the discord with players, staff and etc. I only go on it to just say Hi to friends now because i needed a break from the game. Im hoping more people join the game and change the way the game has been going for many years. We need more nice players on the game.
@@scorpiovenom4742As did I, and I seriously hate how immature most people are unfortunately, I hop in once in a while just to go into rooms but thats about it. Sad how it is , but usually it happens to these reborn/rewritten games.
I just want to point out the magnificent music selection! I always catch FF 7 songs in other videos, but starting this one with Kingdom Hearts made my heart happy :D I definitely would be interested in a video about your favorite JRPGs (?)
VMK was a core piece of my childhood from about 9-12. Played it every single day with my friends. Spent so much time trading to work my way up to getting a stitch hat, eye pin, and green pants. Had so many online friends on there, some of which I still am friends with. I was on VMK Magic forums as well. I was lucky enough to be a moderator for a while on there. When VMK announced it was closing I cried. I had spent so much time in this game building friendships, trading items, and playing games. I signed petitions and emailed Disney execs to try and get them to not close it down. Unfortunately, none of that worked. I remember when the game closed there were hundreds, if not thousands, of players in (I think the esplanade) all standing side by side waiting for the clock to strike midnight when they were shutting it down. I still have VMK cards and pins. I tried the fan run VMK for a while but it just wasn’t the same.
could you do a video on like those virtual worlds by cereal companies? there was my personal favorite which was millsberry, and i think post cereal made one too (like fruity pebbles and stuff) that i used to go on. It might be fun if you're still on the virtual world kick
I love these videos! You should definitely look into a virtual world called Imagine Town! It had a small community that was super dedicated and it was an odd scenario when it was shut down.
I saw a few new players join the game yesterday, and it's bc of your video and jenn video. I'm hoping to see more people join the game and just have fun.
I entirely thought I hallucinated this game! I stumbled upon it one day as a kid, played it obsessively for a week and then forgot about it. After having some vague memories I tried to find it again, however I most certainly couldn't remember the name and found nothing as it had been shut down. Seeing the thumbnail for this video in my recommended made me so happy!
I was a VMK player who ended up migrating to VFK for many years - definitely a bootleg version, but it had a pretty big player base back in the day, and much more of a game element with its quests and events. I picked it up for a few months during the first half of the pandemic and there was still a small but respectable group of loyal players and new events, but the social aspect is still the most important and is sadly missing with how cliquey longtime players get. The history presented is also not fantastic, it's often very whitewashed, especially in the Australian and Colonial eras, and IIRC there aren't any avatar options for darker skin tones. The holiday quests are also overtly Christian, like they talk about pagans being heathens. Going back to it was, um... interesting! I don't know who runs it, but I don't trust them.
Gator waiter may have lived and died with this game, but it looks like it might be based on the gator statues at the Port Orleans French Quarter resort in Disney World! They have the exact same look to them :)
A virtual world I'd love to see you cover is the online game Panfu. I don't know how popular of a game it was overseas but it was vastly popular in Europe in its heyday
Omg, I remember playing this! I got in trouble for playing it because I wasn't allowed to play multiplayer games which let me talk to people on the internet when I was 10 years old lol. I remember one time I hung out with a mod on Main Street, then had a dance party with at least thirty other people who were following them around. I was really young then but I remember only having positive interactions with the mods, if you reported someone for bullying they typically responded fast. I think one time after I reported someone I got a personal message from a mod saying something along the lines of 'We handled it, the player was banned.' Or something like that. I remember the DJ game was my favourite tho, I thought I was so good at it despite the terrible sound clips, but the queue to play your tune on stage was always insanely long. I vividly remember the restrictive chat features. We would typically use slang or other ways to get around it, for example I remember 'sys' meant 'Sister.' If we wanted to tell each other our irl names, we would use the first letters of words, i.e. if your name was Carl, you would go 'First of Coconut, first of Art, first of Rain, first of Land.' I would spend hours decorating my private room, I remember I had two specific locations in them: one looked like the inside or a pirate ship or was underwater, and the other was some kind of castle which I turned into a fighting arena. You're right whne you say that the social aspect was the whole reason for playing, I don't remember playing many of the games at all. I made so many friends, and I would have hang outs with specific people. We would get together and chill and it was a lot of fun!My parents were sure I was getting lured tho, haha. I remember going to one person's private room where they were offering makeovers. I got one, but I hated the way it made me look so the moment I left the room I changed back to my original outfit. I also remember I had a coveted rare item, a tiara! I ended up wearing it everywhere. I ended up roleplaying as an ordinary kid who could transform into a dragon form thanks to their magical tiara, so I had one 'regular' outfit, and then another all-red outfit with a tiara which was my dragon form. If there's anyone out there who remembers hanging with a kid with red hair, all-red outfit, a tiara, and insisted they were a dragon...that was me. Good memories all around. Worth getting grounded for for talking to people on the internet. I was sad when I heard VMK closed because it would've been nice to go back and relive the memories but I'm glad some form of it is preserved out there.
ive been wanting to see a VMK video for so long now, i was like 5-7 yrs old when i played and i was absolutely in love with it. my dad and sister were on it too and my aunt, uncle, and cousins (they went to disney world often which i was always jealous of lol). i remember it being so much fun and this definitely satisfied my crave of wanting to play it again
I’m so bummed I missed out on this gem when I was younger! I’m a huge fan of Disney and I loved online game sites like Neopets and Barbie (back when Barbie had fun games)! I’m so sad I never heard of this before it looks like so much fun! And different from the other Disneyland/Disney Magic Kingdom games out there! 😭
I'm dying For a video like this on Littlest petshop online. I was obsessed with that particular virtual world from almost Its launch Till The eventual sunsetting. I still own a few of the associated plushies somewhere. Love your content and can't wait to see More❤️
omg I never knew VFK was based on another virtual world...! I played it so much as a kid, I remember doing my epic dailies so diligently so I could get the fairy and mermaid enchantments 🥺!!
VMK was my first proper MMO and I remember the queue times being SO frustrating, but once you got in you were IN and it really did feel magical. Forgot how much the soundtrack absolutely slaps. I remember seeing 2 users sitting on a bench wearing matching outfits, who were talking to each other, and I walked up and asked them if they were real lmaooooo. I didn't understand that the game was really online and connected to real people until that moment, and the beginning of a life long obsession w/ virtual worlds :')
One of my fave little details in your videos is your choice in background music - you have no idea how happy it made me when I realised you were playing the fireworks music from Ōkami (my fave underrated game!!) during the little fireworks cutscene from the Disney game!!
This game was my life when it was open. I was tore up when it closed. I was there on the very last day and said my goodbyes with everyone. Everyone would face their avatar to look at the screen and wave, like we were waving goodbye and thanking the staff for their work. In the og game, if you sat down at the Bayou restaurant and said the magic word "Neverland", the gator waiter would bring you food. The fantasy land rides were always super packed when they were released, bc a random few riders would get a a special pin. I was obsessed with this game, and I remember it very fondly. My only friends were friends I made on that game. Thanks for making this video, I always love your stuff!
Dude you're really cool and great at this youtube thing ! I hope you have fun doing it and I know you're gonna go far ❤ Gonna enjoy what you make for a while i hope !!
the moment i saw this pop up in my recommends, i got super excited. hopefully this'll lead to a video about habbo someday, i was obsessed with that game growing up
I'm so happy someone finally talked about VMK, I was OBSESSED wit this game from like age 11-13! I have a super specific memory of them making like red and blue shirts for voting on new items i think? I feel like it was called "cute or boot" or something, and I remember there being a lot of debate over a bear skin rug?? Excellent video, thank you so much for covering this!
I’m here after being curious about what VMK was from a 1 minute 25 second video by *CrystalPrism.* After seeing the video length I’ll save this to watch later, for when my brain has the capacity to learn about this.
I remember playing this. The load times were so long I had to upgrade my 56K dialup modem to a DSL line. Not much of an improvement. My biggest neg was living in fear of the moderators who monitored the limited chat exclusively. I guess that's why I wasn't impacted when the thing was shut down. In fact, looking back at this, I was like "Good Riddance!"
That's wild that it came out in 2005. I have the distinct memory of watching a "Come to Disney!" vacation video at age 9 and going on VMK cause we didn't know if I'd ever get to go. Eventually got there at 15, but I would've been 9 in 2005 so I got in the year it came out :0
THANK YOU for covering this game!! It was my absolute favorite growing up and I'm glad to see it being talked about💞 I was one of the first 100 players to play VMK and had a special badge for it - it was my entire life for a LONG time😅 Also, I only went to Disney once at got VMK items as a bonus, never went there specifically for them..most of my special items were from trading with other players, never had to pay a cent for them! And I also remember Hosts giving away items, player auction and game rooms to acquire prizes in the form of rare/desired items!
Love this, love you- I’ve been binging your videos for the last couple of days. …….. but had to come into the comments to be an obsessed Kingdom Hearts fan for a second and say the track you credited as “Title Screen” is Dearly Beloved. I’m not super well versed in telling the versions apart but my guess is you used KH1 or CoM’s variant. Just in case you end up using that track again in a future video or feel like falling down a rabbit hole listening to all the different versions. Thanks for making amazing videos and diving in deep to flash games and virtual worlds! Your deep dives keep bringing me so much nostalgia, even if I didn’t play the specific media in question. Growing up in that era of the internet was special.
Can you maybe do a Bella Sara version please? With the old game of taking care and feeding the horses you collected through cards rather than the weirdish "open" world mmo.
Hey, have you considered looking into Nicktropolis? It was an old Nickelodeon Virtual World much like this one! It was my favorite, alongside RuneScape and GirlSense (loved that video btw!!❤️)
Thank you so much for this video! I remember discovering this game as a kid and telling all my friends at school the next day. They all made accounts and we'd hang out in game after school. This video is a really nice walk down memory lane. Some of the rooms you showed off i still vividly remember! I find it impressive how many rooms and minigames vmk had compared to other disney virtual worlds like pixie hollow or club penguin. I think the reason why i liked this game as much as i did was because we don't have disneyland in my country. The closest disneyland was tens of thousands of miles away and my family weren't nearly as wealthy enough to take a trip to another country despite me desperately wanting to go. VMK was the closest i could get to experiencing disneyland. Anyways, thanks again for reminding me of this great childhood memory!
I remember saying goodbye to all my friends during the countdown to the site closing :( I miss you, scooterjake Then the vmk site would redirect to pixie hollow which I tried to play but nothing could fill the void
You're currently one of my favorite channels and I feel so relaxed and entertained when watching your videos. I would love to hear you talk about the Papa Louie game series.
