- Virtual Magic Kingdom (VMK) was an Massively Multiplayer Online Game for Kids and Teens by Disney. Gameplay consisted of avatar creation and customization, minigames, quests, social communication, public rooms, private (player-owned) rooms, and more. On April 8th, 2008, Disney announced that VMK would be 'closing its virtual gates for the last time' on May 21st, 2008, VMK.
- Unlike many online games, VMK does not have much combat or violence. Instead, it focuses on exploration and socializing among players. Players can customize their avatar with items they earn while in the game as well as a room that they are given at the beginning of the game. VMK has six different areas: Main Street, Fantasyland, Tomorrowland, Adventureland, Frontierland, and New Orleans Square.
- In the game, players could chat and play together in a virtual version of Disneyland. The game was developed by Sulake Corporation with Macromedia Shockwave. A new player began the game by registering an account at VMK.com. The player then set up a character (an avatar) and selected the character's gender and appearance (shirt, shoes, pants, hair, hat, face, and colors for skin and hair). The player typed in a name, but until the VMK staff approved the name they requested, their name would be Guest, followed by the number of player that they are (E.x. Guest7402548). If the name was not approved the VMK staff would let them create another name.

If the name was not approved the VMK staff would let them create another name. A player could also choose from a list of randomly-selected adjective-adjective-noun names presented to him or her; if he chose one of these names, it required no approval from VMK staff. The player also selected a "guest room", his or her own themed area which could be decorated with furniture, posters, game items, or other material. One room was provided for free, and additional rooms could be purchased later with in-game credits. The player could enter a few lines of text, known as a "(signature)", which would be displayed in the character's publicly-visible profile. The character was then given a few tradeable items (mostly T-shirts), and was placed in the game. Disneyland and Magic Kingdom visitors were able to create accounts at special VMK kiosks located in those parks.
