Pleasure Island to Close as of September 28th.

Yeah, happy birthday to me this year...

So, the suits at WDW are shutting down PI in a few months to bring us more exciting stores and restaurants!

Did Pressler get rehired or something?

I know that it isn't a popular choice but most nights of the week those clubs were dead. I never enjoyed Adventurer's Club so the loss of that doesn't bother me beyond friends losing something they like.

Oh, that just SUCKS.

Granted, I haven't been to DisneyWorld in 15 years. But that place was always happening. Mmm, more stores and restaurants ... oh yes, that's JUST what DisneyWorld needs.

Pfft, remind me again why I haven't bothered to go in 15 years.

There are two reasons it kind of sucks to lose The Adventurer's Club. One, it's the only acting job at WDW I ever get called back for. Two, there are a number of banners and plaques around the club that I wrote. Every year, one or two of my contributions go missing. I don't want my legacy to be a couple of duck info plaques at Animal Kingdom.

Yeah, bummer about The Adventurer's Club. I wanted to check that out the next time I was at WDW.

Are they still doing the beer song? (Dough, with which to buy my beer...) Last time I was down in 06 I didn't get to go by. It's sad to see it go

For the time being (until Sept 27) the shows and songs at Adventurer's Club remain much as they always have been, so I'm sure there will be a rush of last-chance parties as the next few months press on. I've got friends and colleagues who perform there, and are distressed at the closing.

I need an Adventurer's Club here in SoCal - imagine if they served Dole Whips along with Kungalooshs

I guess there's just no market for donkeys anymore.

I think moving the Adventurer's club to Downtown Disney might be a really good idea. I'd love to see it there.
