Virtual Magic Kingdom

Context

Virtual Magic Kingdom was an online multiplayer recreation of the Disney parks that operated between 2005 and 2008.

Nowadays, fans have managed to set up unofficial recreations. Of note are VMK Legacy and MyVMK.

In these pages, I've tried to assemble VMK-related content that's not always easy to find. I'd also like to thank VJ of WML95 for his invaluable input.

Music of VMK

In VMK, snippets of stock music and Disney music were combined with ambient sound effects to evoke the feeling of the parks.

You can experience a mix of original tracks combined with VMK's sound effects on WML95!

In this list I have also copied over the descriptions, if available, in case they ever disappear from the website. They provide some context.
