Virtual Magic Kingdom is a virtual re-creation of Disney's theme parks. Registration is free and VMK visitors will find beautifully rendered rooms based on familiar Disney themes, such as "Snow White's Hide and Seek Forest" and "It's a Small World Imports." Each visitor can also create a personalized room which can be decorated with items earned by playing games, completing quests, and trading with other players.

Virtual Magic Kingdom is the first virtual world that lets visitors supplement their online experience with a visit to a real world theme park. Each Disney resort in Florida and California has a "VMK Central" area that lets players visit VMK to earn rare items. Characters created in person at a VMK Central area will be able to display a special "Born in Park" icon.

Disney fans of all ages will enjoy a visit to Virtual Magic Kingdom, however keep in mind this virtual world is meant for children ages 10 to 14. To help keep the conversation appropriate for this age group, VMK only allows visitors to chat with a selection of pre-approved words and all usernames must be approved before use (new users can still enter the world immediately with a "Guest" login). If you need help in VMK just call on a friendly "Cast Member" and enjoy the friendly vibe of this "magical" virtual world.
