Discussion community comments archived from Talk:VMK Timeline and Important Updates

Thanks to JackeryB for starting this guide as a thread on the VMKForums.

TODO

  • TODO: Jungle Cruise sound update
  • TODO: Hyperspace Mountain release date
  • TODO: Change all general "costume" links to individual item links. (Sometimes changing them back to how they were.)

Garfieldo

Hmmm... Do you think it would look a bit better if it listed the most recent updates on top, and past ones further down?

With the TOC I don't think it makes a difference to be honest. --SpinMarty 00:21, 16 October 2006 (CDT)

I think this page is getting way too long. Let's split it into 2005 and 2006 pages, and when 2007 make a 2007 page. Yay, nay?

I'll say it again, with the TOC, does it really matter? I don't scroll down to October, I just click the TOC. --SpinMarty 09:53, 23 October 2006 (CDT)

I thought about this when I first created the page, but given how I expect it is commonly used (to reference a particular event, or to search for when an event happened), I think one list is better at least for the moment. I did try to figure out some of the timeline options that are available through MediaWiki, but they all looked overly complex to get working, so I gave up on the project. My vote - leave it alone for the moment, and lets see how things go. --Prisoner 12:01, 23 October 2006 (CDT)

Green Emporium Items

Instead of asking on all the individual item talk pages, I'm asking here :)

Does anyone know when the re-released green items from March Think Green month were retired?

I know they were still buyable on 1 April and no longer in stores on 3 April. I tend to believe that they were retired on 2 April (since that's when the Epcot Quests disappeared), but alas, I forgot to check. Looking for confirmation :)

--UpInTheAir 19:32, 3 April 2007 (CDT)

2 April is the date I would use (things usually retire on a Monday!) --SpinMarty 20:04, 3 April 2007 (CDT)

They were there in the morning of 2 April. I don't know if they were retired later in the day or not. --Prisoner 03:55, 4 April 2007 (CDT)

Table of Contents

I like the new TOC, Spin. Nicely placed. Is there anyway to edit the light blue colouring of it though? --Schmoofytalk 12:57, 11 June 2007 (CDT)

I can change it to any color we want. Did you not like the blue? I was trying to use a color to distinguish the titles. --SpinMarty 13:31, 11 June 2007 (CDT)

No no no, I like the blue. I was wondering just in case it becomes used on other pages.

On a side note..

At first glance, the clock picture looks a bit eerie, doesn't it? --Schmoofytalk 13:34, 11 June 2007 (CDT)

No offense to Spin, but I wanted to try out an alternate image for the VMK Timeline page. Like Schmoofy noted, I found the image to be a little eerie at first glance. Trying this one out for now, please let me know what you think! --UpInTheAir 01:25, 27 June 2007 (CDT)

Either is fine with me. My whole desire was to find a Mickey with a clock. The one I used was a rough animation sketch from the Mickey short "The Clock Cleaners". :) --SpinMarty 01:26, 27 June 2007 (CDT)

Epcot Trivia Quests

I did a rollback to the dates that were originally there as those dates are correct. Thanks --SpinMarty 11:37, 30 June 2007 (CDT)

Items being Moved in Stores

I updated some of the stuff on the wiki that was moved to different stores today. Is that how you want the moves to look on the timeline page? It's listed under September 7th. --TravisSch 17:20, 7 September 2007 (CDT)

What are you trying to do?

For Xiaolin, CL_Haveamagicalday, and any other editors working on the TaIU, what are you trying to do? I'm a little bit confused. --Scootz 06:40, 14 September 2007 (CDT) (Talk | contribs)

What do you mean bye "TaIU"? I helped Xiaolin with putting links to the item names. I haven't done anything else with him, so I don't know what you mean. --CL_Haveamagicalday

Dream Prizes Retired?

Since Dreams Month is officially over, can we consider all the Dreams Prizes from this past month retired now? --TravisSch 14:18, 1 October 2007 (CDT)

I would say yes, because, like HOST_ pins, they should have retired at the end of the month. --CL_Haveamagicalday

With the exception of any items that are still being sold - yes. Retired as of 1 October.--Prisoner 14:32, 1 October 2007 (CDT)

Typhoon/Blizzard Beach Clothing retired date wrong?

When I was looking on what was for sale last week, I was pretty sure these clothing were not on. So the retired dates wrong? --CL_Haveamagicalday

I'm pretty sure they were still there last week, but I'm not positive. I did definitely notice items missing this week, which is what prompted me to look for what was gone, and I'm uncertain if it was the summer clothing, the baseball outfit, both, or neither. --Prisoner 15:37, 12 October 2007 (CDT)

I'm almost positive it was, but I do not have proof. I think I'll use vmkforums.com and ask around, I think it was out, but not positive. I'll do some searching on the forums first before I make a thread about it on DOW part.

Edit: I found some pics on the forums and only the straw hat was there, and there were a few pics and it didn't show the typhoon lagoon clothing or blizzard beach. Click http://www.vmkforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=129293&highlight=new+items|Here --CL_Haveamagicalday

Halloween Bat Bag

It's retired right?--Xiaolin 13:35, 1 November 2007 (CDT)

Yes, it was the HOST Prize for October. Also, welcome back :) --Scootz 14:27, 1 November 2007 (CDT) (Talk | contribs)

Thank you. I'm just being cautious now, that I do provide true information. --Xiaolin 15:53, 1 November 2007 (CDT)

January 2008 Pic

Shouldn't the pic that is in January 2008 be in December 2007's, since it's happening on 31 December 2007? --Haveamagicalday

Since it extends from 31 Dec to 1 Jan I think it is ok where it is. --SpinMarty 17:19, 31 December 2007 (CST)

Since you said it extends, I put it in both, I think that's the best way to do this, any other thoughts? --Haveamagicalday
