"Save VMK Unite" has filed the proper paperwork and has been issued permits by the city for the protests. More information about the event can be found here. http://www.vmkkidsunite.com/index.cfm

3	Elderp Mon 5/5/2008 4:25p	I am trying not to laugh but this is a bit over the top to me. It is a game, it was a nice game, but it is just a game. I am sure there will be others in the future. There are so many worthy causes out there to fight for, I just don't see this as one of them.

9	Mickeyfan1 Tue 5/6/2008 7:52a	Oh I have so much I would like to say but will resist. If I remember correctly Disney has said from the start this was only a temporary item and would not be ongoing. Welcome to reality kids. If you want to save the VMK, the pony up some money! If you are really going to protest there are some other major causes that you could channel your energy towards. Computers adn computer games are great, but sometimes you just need to experience the real world and not a "virtual" one. Gee, and I said I was going to resist making comments. Oh well.
10	Darkbeer Tue 5/6/2008 8:02a	I never heard that VMK was temporary until just recently, when Disney announced the closure. It was never mentioned when the website opened, or when they marketed it. Even the deal with Disney Pins was kept active until last month. Many folks think that Disney claiming it was designed to be temporary from the beginning is just more Disney "spin".
