I am sad they shut down. My best friend and I used to play all the time together as little kids. my grandma would let me stay up till 11 pm, that's when the server would shut down until the next day at 7 am. Best game I have ever played. Kept me busy. I never asked my grandma for toys. Just a computer to play VMK, And because of VMK I loved to read. I read lots of books about fantasy life. I played untill the very last day! Maybe they will come to there senses and reopen VMK, I'd pay a membership fee if i have to, to play.

It's crazy how I didn't find out VMK was shut down until 2010 ,I was going through a nostalgia moment and searched VMK jut to find out it had shut down 2008 ,I was so sad it felt like my heart had sunk not to mention I was two years too late.

I still have the Disney magazines with the clippings of VMK vouchers.Life can be so cruel.(Yes in early 2006 VMK was my life) I still don't Remember why I had stopped playing ,maybe I had school and just sidetracked with starting middle school? Idk but I really miss VMK and wish they would bring it back for at least a month or at least 2 weeks, this game is what made me appreciate Disney and their imagineers.

Hi Olive (BuggyBoo13 (also my sis) )I know. people who cant go to disney world could go on VMK but its all done. @ LuLu i know right!

EVERYONE!!!!!! READ KINGDOM KEEPERS IT BRINGS ORIGINAL DISNEY TO LIFE. WALTER DISNEY WOULD HAVE WANTED EVERYONE TO RELIVE THE MAGIC LIKE OLD TIMES WHEN HE FIRST INVENTED DISNEY WORLD. THAT WAS THE WHOLE POINT. TO MAKE KIDS EXPERIENCE MAGIC.

Someone! Make a petition to re-open Virtual Magic Kingdom . Do it for Walt. (walter disney)

- Thankyou

Omg! I had no idea they shut down VMK. Ive actually never played it. I recently read a book called Kingdom Keepers and that was in it so i decided to look it up because i wanted to play it. NO! They should have VMK again. It looked like a fun game where you can chat with friends and make it like your actually at disney world.

VMK was the awesome game from Disney. if we can't go to the real the parks we could go online playing VMK. I don't mind if we have to pay like Toontown, Clubpenguin, pixie and the pirate online games. I bet everyone who in 2005 until now people want VMK back. We want it so badly to come back

i really hope they put kingdom hearts on play station 2 before he ends it all together because it will help a lot of people how don't have one or can't get it cause they can't get enough money for it . kingdom hearts is my life and its so cool . i hope they can make one more and add in where you can create your own character and join sora and friends on one last adventure. to get sora, kiri, and riku's memory's back. and help them find out where they really belong. and their can be a part where you have all the disney worlds. in this one, plus sora, kiri, and riku would be adults with kids of their own cool right. and it can be on the play station 2 and on all the other ones to. sora and them would have new cloths and so would their kids and it would be their kids turn to go of and fight and they would be friends with the character that we created for the game cool right i wish it was created now for kingdom hearts 5 and it would be called kingdom hearts returning memory's. nice name right haha cool i wish this was a real game and it would be in english to.

I don't see why disney gave up on this game. It's almost like they lost their imagination with this game. There was so much that they could have done with vmk and expanded it more. They gave up too quickly on a game that was nothing more then just a promotional game to them but it was a game that we all could feel like we were in the parks and talking to one another and playing games and enjoying disney like walt disney would have wanted us too. We're not forgetting all the kids who had cancer or dissabilities that prevented them from going to the parks simply because they were too sick or couldn't go out in public for fear of getting sick. vmk gave them a way to leave that behind for a while. Was Disney in too big of a hurry to get rid of this game and put something else in it's place to make money? Did they really think it through before they closed down a game that meant the world to us? I think they did and didn't care about the outcome. they just gave us an excuse. it was never meant to be. but it was a special game to us

Unfortunately the project is no longer being worked on.

I also love the Kingdom Hearts games. Has Disney ever considered making a movie version? It seems like a natural and could even become a franchise series.

I'm very happy to see Kingdom Hearts as an article on Jim Hill Media. I've been a fan of the games since the first one came out when I was twelve and proud to have grown up with it for ten years. Despite the up and downs the games have had, I still love them and play them. I look forward to the next game this summer.

I do believe Nomura and his creative team from Kingdom Hearts II are working on a Final Fantasy project; Final Fantasy Versus XIII. Once that is done, I think the team can begin work on Kingdom Hearts III. This is what I hear on the internet but I'm willing to believe this what will happen. Of course, this could take longer than expected considering Versus XIII has been in development since 2006 and no sign of it coming out any time soon, unfortunately.

Still, I do hope Disney worlds and characters play a better role than they have in the handheld games. Disney was the reason I picked up the games in the first place and it makes me sad to see them play less of a role in each game. I agree with you that Epic Mickey was a breathe of fresh air when it came out and it was one of the reasons why I got Epic Mickey in the first place.

Hopefully, with the new console-based Kingdom Hearts means more Disney worlds and characters to interact with. I have a large list of characters and worlds I would love to see in the games.

Is it open source? Seems like a good project to contribute to...
