Throughout the whole month of December we will be showing a variety of Holiday Shows! At the Castle, you can find Holiday Wishes and Frozen Holiday Wish. Illuminations: Reflections of Earth has the Peace on Earth tag at the end of every showing. Also, on our Seasonal Server, we will be showing Holiday Dreams and a Hanukkah Show every night of Hanukkah! Times for all of these shows can be found in the Show Timetable by right-clicking your Watch.
As mentioned earlier, our Parks received a huge update this month. Here is where we’ll go over everything that was changed, added, or removed. There’s a lot, so get comfy!
- Hub is now TTC
- This is something we’ve been wanting to do for a long time and have finally gotten around to. TTC stands for The Transportation and Ticket Center, which is what that area of the park is actually called rather than the Hub. This helps us keep with our desire to use the same names Disney uses in their Parks.
- Backpack and Locker for Storage
- We’ve moved away from the same inventory system used by Imaginears Club for the past 4 years and have introduced Backpacks and Lockers! Backpacks are where you can store the large amounts of items you own. You can also expand your Backpack with up to three extra rows in the Storage Shop in the MagicBand. Also, Lockers aren’t new. However they have changed. You can no longer access your Locker from your MagicBand. Instead, you must visit a Locker Kiosk which are available in each of the 4 parks, Typhoon Lagoon and in any Hotel Room. This makes Lockers an area for permanent storage. You can store your Holiday items in it during the year and take them out in time for the Holidays next year. Here’s a tip on how to find a Locker Kiosk: /warp [server]lkr. For instance /warp mklkr, /warp typhoonlkr, etc.
- Shops
- Shops were originally announced back at the beginning of the Summer. However, due to unexpected delays and other complications we weren’t able to continue work on the Shops until recently. Also, we wanted to monitor the new economy after the reset in July to ensure Shop prices would be balanced and fair. But we have them now! You’re now able to buy Plushes at the Emporium, Lightsabers at Tatooine Traders and even get a Princess Dress at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. If you need help locating a Shop, just open your MagicBand and select “Shops.” A list of Shops available in your Park will be displayed and, by clicking on one, you will be warped right to that Shop. If you have any more questions about Shops, feel free to ask one of our Cast Members or Interns.
- MagicBand Updates
- Your MagicBand has been completely updated with a new look, and so far everyone’s loving it! A few unpopular features were removed to make the Main Menu cleaner and easier to use. Most features that are not on the Main Menu were put into submenus. However, the layout is still familiar enough to make it easy to navigate.
- Queue System
- We’ve finally fixed those pesky Queues! They never worked right, and sometimes your wait time started to count backwards! No longer will this be a problem. Also, due to popular demand, we brought back the 10-second delay when you join an empty queue so a friend can ride with you.
- DCL Room Rentals
- Now you can rent rooms on the DCL server as well as on Resorts. However, due to the size of the ships, you may only rent rooms on the 8th floor of the Disney Dream for now. In the future we plan on expanding to the entire ship. All rooms are $800 for 3 nights. These are so expensive because they are balcony rooms. Cheaper rooms will be available soon such as the interiors.
- Watch & Show Schedule
- One of the most frequently asked questions on Imaginears Club is “When is the next show?” Chances are you’ve wondered this at one time or another. Well, now it’s much easier for you to find out what the next show is and when! A new addition to your Inventory is the Watch. When selected, this provides you with the current time in EST, which is what Imaginears Club operates in. Also, a Show Timetable can be viewed by clicking your Watch. This Timetable is up-to-date and will tell you exactly when we plan on running shows.
There were many other bug fixes and improvements made to features that already existed that weren’t listed here. Overall your experience in our Parks should now be better than ever!
Creative has been sitting quietly and calmly for these past few months, just casually letting people build day and night. Not much has changed after we changed to PlotSquared and introduced the Creative Menu. It’s been over 3 months since Creative’s last update, so we’re going to give it more cool things!
This update will be released Christmas Eve, what a great Christmas Present! Most of the features included in this update are still top secret, but I can let you know about one of them! Many moons ago we made Role Play against the Creative Rules due to the Role Plays taking up chat space, spamming, and some weren’t following rules. On Christmas Day, we will be officially allowing Role Play on Creative again! There are a few catches, though (I think you’ll like them 🙂 ). Role Play Chat, a new feature being added, will allow for you to have your own Role Play but keep it separate from the rest of Creative’s chat. When in a chat, you will only see the messages in that chat. Also, no one else on Creative except those in your Role Play will see your chat! It’s completely separate. There are a few other minor features of the Role Play Chats that will make this the best way for us to re-introduce Role Play to the Creative Server.
As you would expect, rules must be followed. We will have a list of rules written exclusively for Role Plays on our website soon. All Role Plays must follow these rules, otherwise sad things happen 😥 . Along with this Role Play update, Creative will receive some other cool new features which will be announced in the coming weeks. Be sure to follow us on Twitter and like our Facebook page for the latest information!

I’ve been with Imaginears Club for over 2 years now, and never for a minute did I think it would grow to be as amazing as it is today. This year we made a promise to our Guests to release something new every week, and we kept it! I would go over everything we did this year, but a 2015 Recap will be posted on our Website soon to encompass all of our updates and achievements. One of those being that we made another Player Count record, 540 players! That’s incredible! As I promised before our Meeting started, if we reached 500 players everyone would get 100 tokens. We reached it, so everyone got 100 free tokens!
This wraps up the last Update of 2015, have a Happy Holidays!
