Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Loosely modeled after Sulake’s existing venture, Habbo Hotel, VMK invited players to explore its Disney theme park-inspired Public Rooms and to create their own Guest Rooms with furniture bought via in-game Credits from themed shops in each of VMK’s five original lands: Main Street, Adventureland, Frontierland, Fantasyland and Tomorrowland, with New Orleans Square being added later in the game’s lifespan.

Disney announced the closure of VMK, to widespread dismay, in 2008. Players refer to the original, official version as “OG” or “OG VMK”.

The goal of VMK Legacy is to stay true to the original ideals and philosophies of the Virtual Magic Kingdom team and to create an experience that is as true to the original game as possible while moving it forward into the future. VMK Legacy is a showcase of everything that VMK was, and everything it still can be.

Festivals in VMK Legacy are conceptually inspired by (and named after) the festivals held year-round at EPCOT, but in practice are closer to OG VMK’s themed months - designed with the freedom to extend Festivals past a single month if necessary. Festivals are always scheduled to begin on the first day of the month. When a Festival isn’t going on, we call that period Off Season.

Off Season in VMK Legacy is much like off season in the Parks: a chance for both VMKL Staff and Guests to take time to slow down between Festivals and prepare for more exciting happenings to come. During this period, there are typically limited HOST events and no regular shop releases. Off Season normally lasts a few days to a few weeks - you can usually predict the length of a given Off Season by the time left in the month after a Festival ends, because Festivals always begin on the first day of the month.

VMK Legacy Staff are a team of dedicated volunteers who provide a safe and fun environment for all who love to reminesce on one of their favorite games of the past!

Each staff member is provided training in their respective department and specific duties.

You can identify a staff member by the prefix in their name, or by the badge on their lanyard that is an orange background with Mickey Mouse. Clicking the badge will show "VMK Legacy Staff" for further confirmation! VMKL Staff wear the blue vested shirt and red Mickey ears to further identify themselves when you find them in-game.

Here are the specific Departments on the VMK Legacy Staff team, as well as their primary duties:

• Guest Experience Team (GET) Department: Prefixed with "GET_" - GETs are the moderators of VMK Legacy. They ensure everyone is safe and having fun! They respond to Calls for Help (CFH) and emails.
• HOST Department: Prefixed with "HOST_" - HOSTs are the event hosts of the game! They put on HOST events, festivals, and other fun activities!
• Public Relations Department: Prefixed with "PR_" - PR staff are responisble for the messaging and graphical content you see around the website and in-game. They bring all the pieces of the game and make sure they are cohesive.
• Developer Department: Prefixed with "DEV_" - DEVs are responsible for creating the code that makes the game run! They respond and handle bug reports.
• Digital Artist Department: Prefixed with "DA_" - DAs are responsible for creating in-game content, like pins, clothing, furniture, magic, and more!

Attend Events

Types of Events to attend:

• HOST Events: Regular events scheduled by the HOSTs. New HOST prizes are added each month, so show up regularly to get as many as you can!
• Festival Events: A Festival Event is a themed event or event series that typically spans the entirety of a festival. These events are unique to the festival and usually give out their own special prizes!
• Community Events: These events are official social activities run by VMKL Staff. They usually do not award prizes and are focused on socializing with the community!
• Pin Trading: This even is held once a month and allows players to trade their currently owned pins for staff-exclusive pins. Each pin traded by a player is swapped onto the Staff's lanyard for other players to potentially trade for!
