Many fans asked Disney if VMK was going to reopen. 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. The beta version opened publicly on May 23, 2005, with new lands opening up through 2007.
