It’s all because of you.
Last time I spoke about the emotions of our 3rd anniversary and meeting, in real life, with Cast Members, Managers, DVC members, Guests, and more from Imaginears Club. Now, I want to take the time to focus on the real reason we’re here.
From the beginning, I had a mission to provide a safe, free, and fun place for kids of all ages to play, explore, and meet with other Disney fans. It’s been a long road with many bumps, turns and loops (like our rides!), but nothing has stopped our number 1 reason for being here. The reason we have kept this going: YOU!
You, the person reading this, are why we’ve remained the number 1 Disney server in Minecraft. You are the reason we’ve lasted 3 years. You are the reason friendships have blossomed. You are the reason people now have real life jobs resulting from their work here at Imaginears Club. You are the reason we were invited to Minecon 2013. You are the reason our Cast was selected to attend and help out at YouCube. You are the reason we’re hosted on the number one Minecraft servers, MCProhosting. You are the reason top YouTubers have flocked to Imaginears Club. You are the reason real life Disney Legends know about us and have featured us on their sites.
It’s all because of YOU.
We could not possibly have kept it running without your support, encouragement, faith, dedication, love, respect, and more. Without our Guests, we’d simply not exist. You keep us engaged, excited, and creative. Your direct input has helped improve rides, Guest experiences, and shows. Your engagement has kept us motivated, striving to better every aspect of the parks. You make every day fresh and new.
So, this year’s anniversary is dedicated to our Guests. The most wonderful, incredible, and MAGICAL Guests in all of Minecraft!
From every place in my heart; Thank you all.
Sincerely,
therealduckie
August 2014 Newsletter
Welcome everyone, VirusElite524 here for your August newsletter! We have numerous things to announce here, mainly about Main Map updates, our Creative server with some rule changes, and our newly announced Arcade Server. We also had our largest promotion and extension to our staff in quite a while!
A recent survey showed us that most of our new guests found us through Youtube videos. The video that attracted many of them regarded our large presence at YouCube, where we volunteered and assisted the last-minute but hugely successful event. Our owner, most of our administrators, and some of our Cast Members traveled to New York City where we seamlessly transitioned from our original MineORama meet-and-greet plans to the same professional support that we provide our server users. Even acting as real-life ‘CMs’, we had a great time, and are delighted that our involvement at YouCube has earned your interest and support!
As for building news, we are putting the finishing touches on Typhoon Lagoon. Much of the water park is built and functioning, and we expect to complete our first water park soon!
Here’s a list with some other small park updates in these locations:
- Coral Reef Restaurant has been refurbished.
- New DVC Lounge at /warp dvc
- Castle stage with minor additions.
- Yankee Trader store refurbishment
- Detailing throughout Liberty Square
- Start of work on Downtown Disney
- Various redstone tweaks to improve TPS and ride flow.
Utilidors are temporarily closed while we use them to test a new cross-server technique. Hopefully, this will help us resolve ride sluggishness in the future!
Speaking of Downtown Disney, if you had the chance to experience Disney Quest and its indoor interactive environment full of games then be on a lookout as we connect this and our newly created,
Arcade Server.
The Arcade Server is currently in beta test mode, and if you have seen videos of it’s gameplay, then you’ll know what game types to look forward to. Keep on a lookout for future updates from our technician, Legobuilder0813, who has been doing much of the backend coding for new server. Also, if you have an idea for a game map to be considered for the arcade, then submit your map here. Just follow the rules on that page and your map could be a playable land for all to enjoy. If anything,Feel free to gather some friends and build it on your plot on Creative!
As for creative, we have three things:
First is a rule change for inactivity and wasted plots: If you rarely go to Creative but have a plot with nothing on it, we will be removing your ownership of that plot to make room for someone else. The time limit is 45 days. After that 45th day we will clear the plot.
Second is a rule change for Roleplays: Due to a recent selection of family-inapprorpiate roleplays, we are temporarily disallowing roleplays on our servers. If you are caught with any roleplaying, you will be temp-banned or permanently banned, depending on content and repeated offenses. CMs may set up a guided roleplay, but these will have a labeled Cast Member present to keep the order. Depending on guest behavior, we may lift this rule in the future.
Third, is the Hollywood Studios on Creative! With Hollywood Studios being rebuilt, we want to get our guests involved in construction of Hollywood Boulevard. Guests will be permitted to view an outline the buildings on Creative, where you will be able to choose an area to build. If you build it and it looks correct with measurements, detailing, spacing, and color, then your build may be chosen to use on the main map! This is a great way to be noticed for an Imagineer position, so put care into your build if you decide to try! More details will be announced later on my Twitter, @VirusElite524.
For staff applications, due to increased user volume, the applications will only open for the first five days of the month. When filling out the form, please read all the directions; most apps are rejected because a direction wasn’t followed!
The resource pack that will be updated will have new music, new bow, new arrow, new wooden hoe, new GUI items, and even a secret particle effect.
Lastly, we have a bunch of fun events planned for this month:
First, we are excited to announce the rollout of TASTE OF FANTASMIC. Taste of Fantasmic will become a regular show alongside Wishes and Illuminations (IROE), and will play during weekends. This will allow us to give you a Taste of Fantasmic, even when cast members aren’t available to run full Fantasmic.
Second, we are equally excited to announce Villains Nights at Hollywood Studios, starting August 23rd. This will include a few activities happening in parallel at the real HWS, and an early showing of the firework show HalloWishes at the castle!
Third, and most importantly, we are estatic to announce imaginears.club’s 3RD ANNIVERSARY. In addition to Wishes, IROE, and Taste of Fantasmic, look out for TWO NEW, FULL LENGTH, CUSTOM-MADE SHOWS: “Just Like We Dreamed It” at the Main Street train station, and “Relive the Magic” at the castle! Both shows offer hundreds of additional fireworks, unique soundtracks, and effects that push the art of minecraft firework shows to their limits!
This wraps up this month’s update. The cast of Imaginears Club would like to thank you for three magical years of building, performing, and fun! Your support has been instrumental in getting us to where we are today, and we can’t wait to bring you even more fun in the next year!

Imaginears Club – 3 years of Magical Moments
When I started Imaginears Club 3 years ago, I had no way of knowing how immensely it would not only affect my life, but the lives of so many of our CMs, Managers, and Guests. I knew what I was creating was unique. I also knew Disney could convey a myriad of emotions– I just never imagined how much of a true family we would become. What started with a dream on a laptop in my bedroom has blossomed into one of the world’s most beloved Minecraft servers. We have truly had a positive impact on so many lives.
As part of our celebration of 3 years, many of our Cast Members, Managers, Special Guests, Interns, Guests, and DVC members were all able to meet at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida from August 5th through August 7th. We were gathered from all over the world for this once in a lifetime opportunity. Of the many moments we shared, the ones that stand out for me were the deep and fulfilling friendships I watched grow even more. Online friendships came to fruition in real life. I watched as everyone (usually hindered by the limitations of a text or voice chat) were able to goof off together and laugh, in real life. That initial awkwardness soon making way for more personal and personable moments. From silly shoulder punches, to Pillsbury-style belly poking, to laughter, to hugs…this was our moment. It was simply beautiful.
What struck me the most, though, were the moments when we met our Guests.
One young man was so overwhelmed, he was rendered speechless upon meeting our Cast. He heard we were in the parks and ran from one side of the park (Space Mountain) to the other (Main Street USA) to find us. Breathless and wide-eyed, he could barely speak. You could see and feel it hit him – the people he had only previously met as avatars in a game were sitting before him, interacting with him, and just hanging out. For him, it was a dream come true. A moment in his life that will be forever etched amongst his favorite memories. His father, equally affected, shared stories with us about how important this was to his son and how much it has helped him. In fact, he said it helped them both! A unifying bond created in a world we created. Truly, a Magical Moment.
Another Guest fought her way through the crowded park, receiving vague texts about our location as we kept darting across the park from location to location. Finally, as we were all sitting down to our meals and playing silly games, she came bolting in, announced who she was and just stood there. It was obvious she had a plan walking in, but the sheer amazement on her face when she realized how many of us were there, and how much all of us meant to her in so many different ways…just took over. We happily gave her our autographs, and she was soon on her way back to the parks with a little bit of a skip in her step. She had her Magical Moment.
When I got home, I genuinely cried. I was overcome by the love, compassion, honesty, brevity, and souls of everyone I had come across those few days. Tears of joy and a smile. My Magical Moment.
Those are the reasons we do this. Those moments are what this is all about. Creating magic in everyday life, in the game, on the servers, and anywhere we can to make the lives of so many people across the globe happy, joyful, and complete. We make fantasy a tenable and rational reality for so many people. We keep that magic spark alive through our actions, our servers, our rides, and so much more.
Imaginears Club has been around for 3 years, now. We hope to be around for many more. Even if we’re not, though, the paths of so many lives were changed in a positive way by their interactions on our Family of Servers…and that is something NO ONE else can claim or take away. Ever.
We hope you will continue to join us in the upcoming years, grow with us, & find new ways to enjoy the parks and our amazing Guests.
You are the reason we have lasted. You are the reason we’re the best. You will always be our focus, too.
Thank you all for a MAGICAL 3 years. Here’s to many MANY more!!!
All my love,
therealduckie

Imaginears Club Update June 30, 2014
Welcome everyone to this wonderful summer time with me, Virus, here to bring you our summer updates! We have some big things to announce and some changes to the server features and even the staff.
“Yoohoo! Big summer blowout!”
-Mine-O-Rama!
That’s right! We’re going to be presenting at Mine-O-Rama on both days: July 12 and 13. A big group of the staff will be meeting up there, ready to talk and showcase the server.

We have plenty in store for those who pays a visit to us as we will be giving out gifts as a token of our gratitude to our fans who are and have supported us.
-New Mini-Games Server!

At this time we’re only opening the mini-games for beta testing to DVC’s (Donors), Staff, and Special Guests. These games are different than those you may find on other gaming servers; our have a “Imaginears Clubal” touch, combined with our family-friendly theme. Right now we have two games that are nearly ready for everyone: “Imagination Games” and “Seven Dwarfs Mining Challenge”.
The Imagination Games:
When you finally fall asleep and escape to your dreams you find that other people have invaded your dreams and are trying to wake you up. Endure to the end and get a few last moments of peace before the sun rises!

In August, we may be planning some events that Disney is doing in real life such as Frozen Summer Fun which is a dedicated event to a Frozen in Summer and Villains Nights where we celebrate the enemy of our heroes in the beloved Disney movies. Be on the lookout for our server anniversary too! More information will be announced when time approaches.

Information about the New Imaginears Club Server
Hello everyone! Legobuilder0813 here! For those who don’t know, I’m a Technician over here at Imaginears Club. That means that I manage all the servers behind the scenes to keep them running smoothly. Anyway, I wrote this out to talk about a New Server coming to Imaginears Club! I won’t talk about what’s on the New Server here, (because that would ruin the surprise :P), however BroghanTaylor and myself will be talking about it on a LiveStream. It will be on her channel which can be reached by clicking here. We will be discussing information regarding the New Server at 6pm EST on Sunday, June 22nd. We will be discussing all aspects of the server on this stream, talking about perks that our DVC Members will get, and much more! Be sure to show up and watch! We will also be doing a short Q&A Session after we finish talking about the server. If you aren’t able to watch the LiveStream, that’s ok! Broghan saves all LiveStreams on her channel and we will have a link so you can watch. There will also be a page on our website with all the New Server stuff so you can read it. Hope to see you there! Have a great day! – Legobuilder0813

A message from Imaginears Club’s Owner
Greetings, fellow Disney fans! I hope everyone is enjoying their preview of Seven Dwarf’s Mine Train. In fact, in case you missed it, there is a big list of all the changes today OVER HERE.
That aside, I wanted to talk about Imaginears Club’s continuing growth and the future. You see, when we started all of this almost 3 years ago, we had one mission in mind: Make it the best family server in Minecraft. We have accomplished that goal in spades and continue to daily. When we started, we could barely fit 20 people on the server without it crashing. Now, on average, we have 300+ Guests on during weekends. That’s a huge number, compared to 3 years ago. However, when you compare us to the larger servers in the Minecraft World…we’re still small.
Believe me, it’s not like we couldn’t do it. We know the numbers are there and we would easily have 1000 or even 2000 Guests on at one time, but our servers can not handle it, right now. We simply don’t have the technological facilities to handle more than 300, at present.
That’s where YOU come in.
You see, we currently pay $380 a month to keep our servers running. Most of the time our donations do not cover the costs, so I pay out of my own pocket, as I have from the beginning, to keep things going. Plus, we have a few extra costs like purchasing Character Accounts, our Android App, plugin development, and more. All told, our servers run about $400+ a month (on average). I know that sounds like a lot, but it really isn’t considering what we have and what we offer. We get the best bang for our buck. We’re running 5 servers, in total. Bungee, Main, Creative, Build…and that “super-secret” one we’ve been hard at work preparing. (actually, we have 6 but that one is free. If only I could get 6 servers for free. lol)
We’re busting at the seams!
I did the numbers, and in order for us to compete (and have the best experience for you, our Guests) we’d have to pay around $1000 a month, minimum, to keep up with our massive rate of current growth. Our Goal, however, is $2000 a month. This would include the best DDOS protection, cached servers and website, 100% uptime, and no less than 6 dedicated machines to host each server. That and we could pay our plugin developers. Think about that. We could give them money to make the best quest, challenge, hotel, shop, & food plugins to help you to enjoy your experience even more!
Now, I know those numbers seem almost unattainable, but in order for Imaginears Club to compete and remain the leader, that is the bottom dollar amount. Other top servers are paying tens of thousands a month. $2000 a month would mean we could handle 2000 players at one time. That’s $1 per Guest, if you divided it into one day. Now divide that over a month! It would cost, per player, pennies a day and they would have no lag, no skipping rides, no audio glitches, and build to their heart’s content on Creative!
So that’s my pitch. I’m looking for some of you to step up and help us grow. We want to offer this fun, family safe, interactive server to more people…and you can make that happen.
When we did Minecon, our numbers shot up. When our videos were posted on Mojang’s YouTube, our numbers soared yet again. Now, Mineorama is coming up– as is our 3rd anniversary. Big things can happen, if you believe. I know I do. I have seen all of you take my dream and make it real. Let’s all work to make that dream a reality for more people.
http://store.imaginears.club DONATE as much as you can TODAY!
Thanks and have a MAGICAL day!

Imaginears Club Update March 1, 2013
Welcome everyone! VirusElite524 here and we have numerous announcements and updates coming with the map update. We’ve been very busy with finishing Animal Kingdom and we’re approximately 90% complete with just having a few shows currently in progress. Now with this being the last theme park in the Walt Disney World Resort, we’ve already started working with other projects outside of Animal Kingdom such as a refurbishment of The Grand Floridian and others that will be noted below. We will have an announcement later on regarding future projects.
Now listed below is what has been updated onto the Main Server:
Magic Kingdom:
- Space Mountain – Now features two versions of the ride. Once you enter the attraction, there will be a junction that you can choose which one side is riding it normally with no effects so you can partially see the tracks and the layout throughout the ride and the other with the active effect to have the real experience feeling.
- Monster’s Inc. Laugh Floor – Will soon be back in operation as our Cast Member atfish has been setting up and preparing for their re-opening and first show on March 8th at 7 P.M. Est.
- Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin- Will unfortunately stay closed as we’re still fixing issues caused by the scoreboard.
- Peter Pan’s Flight – Due to a technical issue, it will be closed until further notice.
- Mad Hatter’s Tea Cups – Updated to prevent any further stalling of the carts during the ride.
- Coffeebreak – Updated for the last time and will be removed in the next update.
- Winnie the Pooh – Added missing transitioning scene.
- Bippity Boppity Boutique – Added a new feature where you can purchase Princess’s Heads.
- Wishes – Most to all of the fireworks should be showing do to technical errors in the previous showings.
Epcot:
- Soarin – Due to a technical issue, it will be closed until further notice.
One of our managers, EndoftheEarth is currently surveying the park, planning on one of our next project which is refurbishing parts of the parks. This project will consist on updating majority of the current buildings to new colors due to the fact it was originally built in the late 2012’s where stained-clay were available. Including with this project will also involve updating and/or redoing attractions with improved redstone and accurate ride layouts.
Hollywood Studios:
- Tower of Terror – Re-opened with a new layout and system. This version now consist a working pre-show which you may actually hear the audio if you have the audio pack which is mentioned at the bottom.
- Jedi Training – Updated.
- Fantasmic! – We’re currently running rehearsals which we’re aiming to have our first show by March 22.
Regarding to the entire Hollywood Studios park, there will be a major overhaul of the park in the upcoming months lead by myself (VirusElite524). As a Cast Member who works here in real life, there are plenty of errors due to the rush building the park. More news to be announced.
Animal Kingdom:
- Kilimanjaro Safaris – After almost two months building this large attraction, which is actually bigger than Magic Kingdom, we have finally completed it. This massive project lead by BrohanTaylor with assistance by WildPoppys, Dem190, mixmasterjacob, GrailMore, legobuilder0813, JoshtheLego, darthcorey, Skipper165, Peanuts363, Apollo1421, darthjahona, _Lionheart_, DisneyCEO1209, disneyluvr2146, GamingDude88, StitchPenguin, Megmouse, MindtheGap1, ActualFacts, kaderaid, owils, ZACx209, Swine_Monster, and Kooldude70.

The Grand Floridian Resort and Spa:
Thanks to one of our managers, GrailMore, who has been in charge refurbishing the entire resort with assistance by JoshtheLego, DisneyCEO1209, and mixmasterjacob. The main building has been amazingly redone and work is still continuing on the buildings and rooms within the resort. To compare it, we have this album that shows a before and after with the Grand Floridian: http://imgur.com/a/UOg6D
All Star Sports Resort:
Thanks to two Imagineers, the Miller brothers, more work can be seen at /warp allstarsports.
Imaginears Club Audio Pack:
As mentioned before, we have released an audio pack where you can download and add it among with the resource pack for the full experience. For example if you are in the pre-show for the Tower of Terror, once you activate the show the audio from the actual pre-show in real life will play. There will be more attractions that will feature more sounds and music if you can find places where it can activate it. The link to download the audio pack will be shown in the Resource Pack page when it becomes available which can be found here: http://imaginears.club/servers/resource-packs/
Characters Accounts:
Ever since we started the Character system three months ago, the community has gathered over 130 characters which totaled to about $4,200 spent on these accounts. Just wow. The Character thread to claim a character has been pushed back to open to next Sunday March 9. We now have a character class that you must attend prior retrieving your character tag if you do get a character. Please consult to BroghanTaylor, argobargo14 or WildPoppys.
Updated March 12: Due to personal conflicts, I’m pushing back the date to open up the characters until further notice.
