Pleasure Island Closing in Two Months
June 29, 2008
Pleasure Island is closing their six night clubs (8 Trax, The Adventurer’s Club, Mannequins™ Dance Palace, BET Sound-Stage™ Club, Motion and The Comedy Warehouse) as of September 28, 2008. Based on guest feedback, the area will be completely re-themed to include fun for the entire family – with a mix of dining and shopping. Disney calls it “a bold new vision” for Downtown Disney; they are also going to spruce up the existing areas to create an overall better guest experience.
Here is some more information:
- Pleasure Island Annual Passholders will be able to request a refund.
- WDW Premium Annual Pass will not include Pleasure Island, but will include the ability to play a round of golf at Disney’s Oak Trail Golf Course
- The Water Park Fin & More Ticket will no longer include Pleasure Island, but will include the ability to play a round of golf at Disney’s Oak Trail Golf Course

I’ll comment on this one!
I think it’s great for Disney to do something like this. It’s about time Disney realized EVERYTHING there should be about the family (kids too) – not just the adults.
Family friendly…that’s what I like to hear…
Good job Disney!

We think this stinks. One thing that kept us coming back 10 times in the last 7 years is the fact that we can act like kids during the day and go out and have fun as an adult at night.

I’m going to miss Adventurer’s Club! Kungaloosh!
Hopefully they’ll find a way to incorporate it into another part of “The World”.

This does stink… Disney is supposed to be for all ages not just for couples with children. Well if this is how Disney want’s it than fine, I’m sure City Walk at Universal will be happy to take my money.

This is a good move by Disney. Maybe some of the thugs that seem to just hang out here will go hang out somewhere else and make things a little safer for everyone. While we are adults with grown children, I really like the idea of making this place more family friendly. There are plenty of bars and clubs in the Orlando / Kissimmee / Lake Buena Vista area. Again, good move Disney.

I have mixed feelings. I can kind of understand where the WDW wonks are coming from, but it does kinda crack my crystal to think that they’re going to replace the discos with, probably, clothing outlets and fast-food companies. I mean, what if someone goes to WDW with their sweetheart and they want to go dancing at a disco? Guess they’re sworded!
