What are their plans for this area and will their be an admission charge?

Isn't that great business? Close a popular area without a defined replacement and hope that 3rd party vendors will soak up the slack in the midst of a economic downturn?

WAY TO GO, TDO!!!!

Mike, the thing is, they haven't found Step 3. And that is a problem for them.

You read my mind... Guests apparently complained of the amount of cash they were spending in the clubs and disney being the price conscious ones offered to close them...

The last year they had the clubs open the security just busted patron's chops right and left. Crowd control was poorly handled and left a sour vibe.

They need to get their act together and bring back the clubs.

I'm in the other 5%, so there are always plenty of female CMs for me.

That's a fact. All you have to do is look around the properties to see how TDO is expanding it's " Close It Down To Please Our Guest " policy.
