Blogging Disney has featured the world of Pixie Hollow on three previous occasions.
In August 2011, I blogged about the Disney Fairies Magazine and the Disney Fairies Fly mobile app: Tinker Bell and Disney Fairies Magazine.
Disney's Pixie Hollow Leaves Us Feeling A Little Hollow Recently, we were given the opportunity to spend some time with Disney's latest MMOG for kids, Pixie Hollow. Disney’s Pixie Hollow is No More. In September 2011, I promoted the TV premiere and home video release of the Pixie Hollow Games movie with links to online games and contests. Pixie Hollow Games, Contests, and More! It was worth so much more than any of the mini games currently on the Disney site. Tilly says: September 5, 2019 at 8:45 pm.

And in July 2013, I gave a detailed review of one of my favorite Disney apps: Disney Fairies Fashion Boutique.
Are you surprised there’s so much happening in the tiny, magical world of Peter Pan’s temperamental fairy sidekick? Don’t be!

Fans of the Disney Fairies franchise have always known the world of Tinker Bell and her friends is more than just movies, magazines and mobile apps: it’s a vast multiplayer online universe where you can create your own fairy avatar, play games, design fashions and interact with thousands of other Tinker Bell fans.
Err, well…it used to be, anyway.
As it happens, Disney shut down the Pixie Hollow online world in September 2013, just two months after I raved about the Disney Fairies Fashion Boutique app (which I came THISCLOSE to spending real $$$ playing). But on September 19th, Pixie Hollow vanished, and along with it, the Disney Fairies Fashion Boutique app.

What about Disney Fairies Fly and the Disney Fairies Magazine? Are they still around? Nope. All gone. Poof. It’s as if they never existed.
Of course, Disney can delete Pixie Hollow from the internet and remove the games from the App Store, but my blog posts are still online. I didn’t even know Disney purged the Disney Fairies universe until I received several comments from readers who couldn’t find the Fashion Boutique in the App Store. The comments were from angry Fairies fans who loved the fashion boutique app but couldn’t download it on new devices and were unable to recover the game after accidentally deleting the original download.
As a Fashion Boutique fan, the frustrations of other gamers inspired me to investigate the vanishing app. The internet isn’t always the easiest place to find things that no longer exist, but after a fair amount of Googling, I found an FAQ explaining Disney’s purge of Pixie Hollow and its related apps.
Unfortunately, the FAQ page is a JPG image, making it inaccessible to screen readers and devices without image support, and the text can’t be read and indexed by search engines. To help the distraught Fairies fans who come to Blogging Disney looking for answers, I’ve copied Disney’s official FAQ below.
Thank you for being a flutterific part of the Disney Fairies Pixie Hollow community and for your loyalty.

About Pixie Hollow :dizzy:
Pixie Hollow is a massive multiplayer online role playing game that was created by Disney Interactive Studios in 2008. The game was released by The Walt Disney Company on September 8th of that year. The game is based off of the Tinker Bell movie franchise, as online players are able to create a male or female fairy avatar along with customization of a home for that fairy. You get to pick your fairies talent, along with hair, dress, skin tone, and more.
Any account is able to make friends with other online players, along with talking to others with pre-selected phrases in game, though you are able to enter full chat where you can type your own messages as well.
In the game, there are also mini-games that you can play that help you earn badges for your in game journal. And you're also able to purchase monthly or annual memberships which will grant you access to additional game features, such as more customization to your home and character.
The game was closed in 2013.
