![]() ![]() Virtual Magic Kingdom was closed by Disney on May 21, 2008. Because of the need for human monitors, the time that the game was open had to be limited it was open to the public daily between 7:00am–10:00pm PST (10:00am–1:00am EST, 3:00pm–6:00am UTC). Due to the young age of the game's target users, it was patrolled by paid staff who watched out for inappropriate behavior and language. The target audience of the game was children between the ages of 8 and 14, although VMK was designed to be enjoyed by guests of all ages. Despite no long-term intentions, it gained popularity and eventually became a long-term venture on its own. VMK initially launched as part of the Happiest Celebration on Earth promotional campaign, commemorating Disneyland's 50th anniversary. ![]() Sorry, Dole Whip is not included (but here’s the official Dole DIY recipe if you’d like to complete the Walt Disney World experience).Fiona Romeo, Seth Mendelsohn, Jeremy Malillin Yes, there is an order in which to “do” Magic Kingdom.

The videos are so common that we were able to build an entire virtual ride through and walkthrough of the iconic landmarks at California’s Disneyland. ![]() Ride-through and walk-through videos are a big part of theme park culture, showcasing many attractions and interactive areas of the park. (Which explains how one mad genius covertly directed an entire black-and-white thriller inside the parks.) While Disney specifically prohibits selfie sticks at the parks, GoPros, iPhones, and DSLR cameras are all allowed. As long as filming doesn’t pose a safety hazard (which it would on Hollywood Studios’ Rock ‘N Roller coaster, which goes upside down) or involve using flash on dark rides like Haunted Mansion, cast members permit visitors to use recording devices on most rides. Walt Disney World’s doors are closed until July, but if you’re feeling a little squicky about venturing to the Magic Kingdom so soon, there’s good news: If a Disney attraction exists (or existed in the time of YouTube), then chances are a high-definition video ride-through, walk-through, or POV of the attraction exists, ready to be experienced from home.ĭisney parks have a lax policy when it comes to bringing cameras on rides to film the experience. ![]()
