Live Stream Event to support WHO’s Covid-19 Fund
We at Imaginears Club were beyond impressed with the Minecraft Theme Park community coming together to support a great cause. We believe we should do our part, too.
We are blessed to have an infrastructure that means we have scalability, but also low cost. As our bills are paid, we’d like to give back.
Part of the way we’re helping, of course, is offering our server to families from around the world to escape, have fun, and enjoy some rides and attractions. All in a digital world without the need to socially distance. We’ve been so overwhelmed with the positive messages and happy Guests and would like to share that happiness and HOPE with even more folks.
Starting today, and going through our day long stream, 100% of all contributions made to Imaginears Club will go directly to the WHO COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund and the Orlando Second Harvest Food Bank.
And hey! If all goes well, we may even stretch it out past the 24 hours we have planned.
Join us, starting tomorrow at 10am EST, for a 24 hour live stream on our YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/imaginearsclub
We will have lots to do, enjoy some rides, talk about our history, share Guest’s stories, and even invite along some Special Guests. You never know what might happen!
We hope to see you all there!
Stay tuned to this page and our social media as we announce Special Guests as well as fellow servers joining us as partners.
Whether we raise $100 or $1000 or more, every penny of your generosity is important and we will be happy to say your name, out loud, on the stream. Every one of you will be treated as equals. No matter your contribution.
Once again, we are so blessed to have all of you on our “little server that could” and welcome all of you to join us tomorrow for a fun and interesting event.
If you would like to contribute today, you can use one of the following links:

Thanks and HAVE A MAGICAL DAY!

Early Access, Creative and Passholder information
We have so much news to share, so let’s get right into it:
EARLY ACCESS
All early contributors will get access to our Magic Kingdom park, as well as the Contemporary Resort and TTC. This will be relatively unrestricted access for you to view the builds as they are completed, help us with rides and shows and get to know the beauty of this all new park using the latest technologies and blocks.
We refuse to use Barrier Blocks (other than for floating items) on this server so #EarlyAccess Guests will have relatively full access. We think barriers are intrusive and you will never find them in queues or walkways. However, we may decide (while construction is going on) to raise walls in order to keep Guests safe from falling or getting stuck.
As with all of our servers, you must ENABLE Resource Packs in your server menu for our server. Otherwise, things might look a bit odd.
Please note, your access will be limited in that the parks are not 100% finished. We ask you be patient, please, as we complete everything. Also, some buildings and areas are complete, just not added to the parks, yet. We will be pasting them in soon.
CREATIVE
We are opening on November 9th to all Guests with full access our Creative server. A great place to show your skills, converse with other Guests and get to know our Cast Members.
Here are some things to know about Creative and how it works.
- Creative’s map is a vanilla world. That means hills, trees, water, oceans, and more!
- You will be able to section out a portion of the map for yourself, versus having just a tiny square block.
- We will offer protections for your area, plus you can add or remove anyone from your area to help you build. You can also have neighbors!
- Warps and Worldedit will be offered to areas that have a significant build. Contact a Cast Member, after you have completed a decent amount, about how to do that.
- Rules and more for Creative can be found on our Creative page HERE.
Again, as with all of our servers, you must ENABLE Resource Packs in your server menu for our server. Otherwise, things might look a bit odd.
Guests can access the server by adding iears.us to their server menu!
PASSHOLDERS
We’re proud to announce our long-awaited Passholder Program! Contributors are an incredible gift and help us to enhance and expand the MAGIC for ALL our valued Guests. Each Contributor will get the following, based on their choice of variant. (Note: Each is a one-time contribution. Imaginears Club is not a subscription-based or loot-box style server. When you contribute, your benefits remain the same or are increased!)
- Silver – $5 – Currency boost of 1.5x (meaning per ride economy will rise 1.5 times more than other Guests), Private Party Access (special events), Insider Secrets (special info before anyone else), Free Gifts (given out periodically through the year!),
- Gold – $10 – Currency boost of 2.0x (meaning per ride economy will rise 2 times more than other Guests), Private Party Access (special events), Insider Secrets (special info before anyone else), Free Gifts (given out periodically through the year!),
- Platinum – $15 – Currency boost of 2.5x (meaning per ride economy will rise 2.5 times more than other Guests), Private Party Access (special events), Insider Secrets (special info before anyone else), Special Discord Channel, Free Gifts (given out periodically through the year!), Dine with a Manager or Cast Member of your choice,

Remember, these benefits will increase, as time goes on, with more being added soon. As we progress and open new rides, shows and more parks, you will see more benefits added to each Variant. Expect at least 2 items to be added in the month!
In fact, one item coming soon will be access to MyImaginearsClub on the website. Soon after, we will be adding Resort benefits, like free rooms or extended stay!
You can now use http://store.imaginears.club to access our Passholder variants! We’re extending Platinum+ to early contributors until 12am tonight, so get yours now and you get early access to the Magic Kingdom.
Phew! That was alot! We hope you are as excited as we are and look forward to welcoming you ALL.
Have a MAGICAL day!

It’s NOT the end of the world as we know it…and I feel fine.
Pictured in this post is the very first screenshot I officially took in Minecraft. That is a photo of the first house I ever built on Reddit’s servers in 2010. Inspired by Japanese architecture, it was MY creation. The first of many to come. It was a glorious time.
Why am I sharing this, now? Because the proverbial poop has hit the fan and everyone is freaking out…forgetting why they started playing this game. Microsoft now owns Mojang. Yes. That happened. Let’s talk about that and Imaginears Club’s future.
I admit – early on I was reactionary, assumptive, and a little scared. (Granted, I am still worried, but let’s TRY to keep this positive.) I posted, to my personal Twitter, about all the possible failed scenarios and personal frustrations I had with this decision.
Then, I took a deep breathe and remembered the joy of my first builds, the camaraderie with other players, and the absolutely incredible creativity of everyone I’ve met in Minecraft. To this day that has not changed. We still gather and accomplish feats of extraordinary construction and engineering/imagineering. By combining our skills, artistry, and friendship – we have made monumental rides, rich landscapes, and MAGICAL realms.
You have to realize, when I began playing Minecraft it was a simplistic browser-based demo. (also, sadly, no screenshot ability) You had the blocks in your action bar and that was it. No mobs, a limited world, and stark colors. Still, even in its infancy, it was … Let’s just say I was hooked. I still am. I never lost that wonder and the pure enjoyment of creation. That’s what has driven me to keep this server running, paying the bills out of pocket most of the time, so it is STILL free and accessible to kids of all ages. I made promises and I intend to keep my word.
So what does all this have to do with Imaginears Club?
I want Imaginears Club to live on. We plan to continue building, and creating, and expanding this universe we’re all a part of. I want our community to remain one of the biggest, happiest, most family friendly ones ever. I want us to keep growing and developing our parks and servers.
Imaginears Club should position itself as a light at the end of the tunnel. A place where the dream and MAGIC haven’t died. Where anyone can come on and see the best that Minecraft, Disney, and our talented team of Cast Members & Guests have to offer. I want our community to continue building life-long friendships. I want more letters from moms and dads thanking us for everything we do. I want to gather 100s of us at Minecon 2015 in London and have a blast. I want to go to the next YouCube and give the fans a day of incredible opportunities and the time of their lives. I want partnerships to keep growing. I want our Twitch to be more active and our YouTube to have new content.
I want Walt to look down and say “That’s the spirit!”
Let us not travel down a dark path during this transition. Life, itself, is all about change. Some of it is scary. Some of it is confusing. Heck, sometimes it can be downright maddening but, like learning to ride a bike – We will all fall. It’s the stronger person that gets right back up again, brushes off the dirt, and keeps moving forward.
That’s our current outlook at Imaginears Club. Keep moving forward.
Imaginears Club would like to take this opportunity to thank Notch for all he has done and all he created. Tapping in to something so basic, using tools and blocks that are equally basic, he created an entire community, economy, and entertainment empire. We are so very thankful for everything he has given us. Thanks, Notch. From all our hearts. Enjoy your life.
We’d also like to thank the entire team of Mojangstas, including Jeb, Lydia, Dinnerbone and all the rest. Thank you all for your work, for allowing us to show at Minecon 2013, and for continuing to be supportive of us. We hope you stay on for YEARS to come and continue to be a part of this vast community. (We also hope you still get to be you)
Imaginears Club is not going anywhere, folks. You have my word.
Sincerely,
David Wasman – Owner/Founder
imaginears.club Family of Servers – Proudly hosted my mcprohosting.comIt’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,

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
