Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resorts bring the magical theme park experience to life online with the launch of Virtual Magic Kingdom at www.vmk.com. This site offers free and fun access to the newest and coolest multi-player online community.

This site is geared towards tweens and teens but is fun for all ages. At vmk.com, you can create and control your own virtual character (and wardrobe!), design your own virtual room, and compete against others in action-packed games! You can even win free stuff!

Players earn credits by competing in online quests, contests and games. Prizes range from special virtual powers to real prizes like wrist bands and exclusive park tours at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida and Disneyland Resort in California. Players can also chat, trade, hang out and create their own games and entertainment. Players can explore virtual Disney parks and play games based on popular rides and attractions, like the Pirates of the Caribbean adventure. Kids can even choreograph fireworks shows! Gamers who visit the real Disney parks can visit VMK Central at the park and participate in real-world quests, and can earn secret codes to enhance online game play.

(Parents there is a special page on the site to answer all of your questions about online safety. The VMK site is only open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and is always monitored by trained staff.)
Happy New Year!
