A little more than seven months after its official launch, Virtual Magic Kingdom, a free multiplayer gaming community inspired by Disney's famous theme parks, has acquired the one millionth character in its virtual community.

The online multiplayer site at vmk.com allows players to create their own characters and visit amazing lands, play action-packed games and decorate their own personal rooms with cool virtual stuff, along with meeting other VMKers from around the world.

The site is quickly establishing itself as one of the coolest destinations online for gaming fans, and has even grown to include several new lands, fun new games and more than 1.3 million personalized rooms created by its players.

"We're thrilled that so many players have embraced the fun of VMK," said Paul Yanover, senior vice president and general manager of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Online. "To reach this milestone so quickly after the community debuted is extremely satisfying to everyone on the VMK team. Just like in the real parks, we strive to constantly improve and expand our online park to exceed players' expectations."
