The weather is getting cooler, you can see the leaves starting to change, smell that sweet pumpkin spice in the air! It’s Halloween night and you’re out trick-or-treating… but you stumble upon a plain house, no sign of the Halloween spirit anywhere!
Let’s jump on that bus Grandma Aggie always arrives in on the one day she gets to visit her family! Tag along with Marnie, Dylan, and Sophie as they learn about the magical place their Grandmother lives - Halloweentown!
Check out the October calendar to see when you can ride again!
Every monday the VMKL staff will be hosting Hide N Seek for 1 of 4 Haunted Mansion pins!
- You may only win (3) THREE times per calendar day (i.e: if a pop-up HnS is announced later in the day but you've already won 3 times then you may not participate)
- You must be standing NEAR THE STAFF MEMBER you've found, and you must include their name (w/ prefix!) in the WINNING PHRASE
- The winning phrase changes per HnS day, so pay close attention to the event notifications!
This Halloween season: join VMKL staff and the 999 happy haunts of the Haunted Mansion in throwing 'A Swinging Wake'. This festival event is unique because there is no specific way to participate! From the second you step foot in the Haunted Mansion, your fate is up to you. Whether that be chatting with friends or taking pictures together, trick or treating, or venturing off to regions beyond with Spectral Sights! Below is some more information about this supernatural gathering:
How To: TRICK OR TREAT
- You may only 'trick or treat' (5) FIVE times during this event. (it is okay to get back in line right after spinning if you can still participate more times!)
- If you spin 1 - 5 you'll win that respective Halloween Pinwheel Cookie
- If you spin a 6 you'll win a Halloween Pinwheel Cookie of your choice!
- Our secondary trick or treat station may be open depending on attendance and availability!
How To: see the SPECTRAL SIGHTS
- Each of the four doors take you to a different Spectral Sight (1 = Haunted Mansion from Disneyland, 2 = Haunted Mansion from Magic Kingdom, 3 = Phantom Manor from Disneyland Paris, 4 = Mystic Manor from Hong Kong Disneyland)
- You may participate in any of these games as many times as possible during the event duration
- We recommend getting a 'VMK Pass' so that you can freely return to the Haunted Mansion Ballroom for chatting or trick or treating! (note: you may be pulled away from the trick or treating line at any point if you're in queue for the rooms!)
- Collecting the FOUR Spectral Sights pins will earn you the final "logo pin"! The pins will be un-tradable throughout the duration of the event so that you may win another logo pin for every additional set that you complete. Be on the lookout for a submission form that you'll submit every time you have a complete set!
Good Luck! We hope to see you soon!
When hinges creak in doorless chambers, and strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls. Whenever candlelights flicker where the air is deathly still... that is the time when ghosts are present, practicing their terror with ghoulish delight!
Are you ready for a chilling challenge? Throughout the rest of October a 'Chilling Challenge' will become available to complete within 48-hours. All four challenges have the same prize(s) but you'll want to participate & complete at least (2) TWO challenge windows to unlock a final prize for the fourth and final challenge! Stay tuned for the grand reveal starting on 10/20 -- that is... if you aren't afraid of ghosts... muahahaha

Thank you for your interest in keeping the magic alive!
Here at VMK Legacy, we continually strive to mix our own passions for VMK and work to honor the OG game by creating content that we think would fit within the scope of the game’s origins. We also try our best to recognize that we will continually work towards the heights of the OG game, but the reality of our situation is something we keep in mind while producing VMKL.
As VMK stood, it was a gathering place for thousands of players around the world, with paid full time staff to moderate, maintain, and update the game. We at VMK Legacy are a group of passionate volunteers serving a small community of passionate players. Our small team dedicates countless hours of free time to produce new content each month, creating new and exciting items, events, and connections with the community. While our team members are able to volunteer an uncountable amount of time, we understand that this is not applicable to individuals who may want to contribute to the progression of the game but do not have countless hours available. With a recognition of our differences from the original game, we realize we need to change some aspects from the original to better fit the needs of our community while still working to honor the roots of the game. We have spent months curating the perfect use of a staple VMK program that was well loved by players, and we hope our new use of the program will live up to the legacy of its predecessor.
To honor a unique aspect of the original game that will also help serve needs found within our team, we are launching a program akin to the Community Leader (CL) program. Our small community is full of many leaders bringing help and kindness to new and old players alike. Our wonderful playerbase makes the need for the CL program as it existed not necessary for our game. Instead, we want to flip the script of the program to better suit the needs of our community and honor the legacy of the Community Leaders initiative at the same time. We proudly introduce to our guests the Legacy Contributor (LC) Program!
This new program will allow players to contribute in more meaningful and tangible ways to the progression and production of new game content. The program allows players to have the flexibility of contributing on their own time without the additional responsibilities that come with being a staff member. All LC program participants will continue to be regular players and receive no special benefits or staff privileges through their participation in the program.
To start, our Legacy Contributor Program will be looking for guests with skills in Digital Art and Graphic Design. The program will allow for LC members to submit their art and designs to be considered for use in-game and in the community. We realize there are many players who have significant nostalgia related to the CL program, so we plan to expand the scope of our LC program to allow for players to contribute in ways that do not require digital art or graphic design skills in the future.
Individuals who are interested in applying for the Legacy Contributor role must meet the following criteria:
- Must be active within the community within the past two months. To be an active player, you must be showing activity a couple days each week over a two month period.
- Have the ability to take feedback and understand that submitted art may not be utilized in the way it was intended to be used upon submitting to the VMKL team.
- Understand that submitting art as a Legacy Contributor will give the VMK Legacy team the right to utilize, distribute, alter, or publish the art in any way they see fit.
The following criteria is preferred for those interested in the Legacy Contributor Program, but not required:
- Ability to successfully design in a way that honors the OG VMK art style
- Preferred to see individuals who understand and use isometric perspective in designs
Players who are accepted to become a Legacy Contributor will receive the following:
- The LC_ prefix added to their player account
- The Legacy Contributor Badge (Sorcerer Mickey Hat)
- Additional perks for the program will be announced after an initial assessment of player interest in participating in the program is accomplished. The announcement of additional perks will be shared before any players are formally accepted into the Legacy Contributor role.
Those interested in applying may complete the Application Questionnaire linked here: https://forms.gle/t7cCj7y5TRaa6AVq7
