Attractions and shows and rides, oh my! It's time to put your ride building skills to use, and what better way to do it than with ride pieces? Visit Inner Space Shop, "its a small world" Imports, The Emporium, and Golden Horseshoe Mercantile through the end of the month to pick up your ride making essentials!
In addition to the thrills of ride making, kick back and relax with the spirit of aloha. Will these tiki walls help in your ride building excursions? Visit Shrunken Ned's through game closing on 8/10 to stock up!
Last but certainly not least, if you missed our 5th birthday parade, for this weekend only (until 8/3) grab a VMKL 5th Birthday hat in the Emporium!
Have you had any luck with the Sword in the Stone thus far?

Don't miss out ongoing festival series: E-TICKET THRILLS
Join us as we continue to explore thrilling attractions at the Disney Parks to celebrate the Legacy of Storytelling! So much creativity & dedication goes into developing these attractions in real life and we wanted to highlight just a tiny bit of that by experiencing it virtually here on VMKL!
We hope you enjoyed the OG VMK recreation of the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' ride and 'Tiana's Bayou Adventure' too!
Now that August has arrived, get ready to experience the magic of the remaining 2 rides! See you there!
We are pleased to present ‘The Key to Imagination!’ Throughout the rest of the festival, you have the opportunity to answer some fun trivia questions about the magic of Imagineering. How’s that for the legacy of storytelling?! Walt Disney Imagineering (WDI) has played a pivotal role in developing the attractions we have come to love at the various Disney parks. So much of the magic we experience at the parks are a direct result of the magic-like attention to detail that these skilled engineers and creatives put in. From sailing the seas on Pirates of the Caribbean to joyfully celebrating on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure: guests are whisked away from reality & dropped right into the story! Speaking of those two attractions… by now you’ve experienced our virtual recreation of those two rides through our E-Ticket Thrills Ride-A-Thon! “The Key to Imagination” is a companion activity to this event. In addition to the general imagineering questions, you’ll also be asked questions about the very ride you’re embarking on… so pay attention!
When the event starts: a google form will be posted for completion (& added to the event listing on our homepage for easy NON-DISCORD-ONLY access).The form will be available until the game closes tonight but the ride will only be available for the event time slot!
Your reward for answering all 10 questions correctly is a “E-Ticket Thrills: Pirates of the Caribbean” pin! There will be a total of FOUR Volumes (one for each E-Ticket Thrill!) and each will be run (2) times.
All guests who “unlock” the Key to Imagination (ha! Get it?!) by owning at least one of each “E-Ticket Thrill pin” will receive a special prize bundle!
Extra notes:
We will not be accepting resubmissions: complete your form carefully!
If you participate today, you are welcome to participate again tomorrow (& you can win another pin!)
Guests will only be able to redeem (1) prize for completing a full E-Ticket Thrills pinset.
The pins will not be tradable until after the festival!
