I understand they are having serious financial problems out at Disney World, but you would think they could spend the money to make the money on a hip new fad like nightclub bowling. What do they spend their money on out there exactly?

If WDW wanted to build something like you describe, it would have to go in DtD. Rather, it seems that they want to develop bowling events into another kind of "convention" type of business like they do for the business conferences, cheerleading, and so on.

I walked and walked and walked around Anaheim Garden Walk, upper level and lower lever -- and while I saw the sign for 300 on the main Disney Way entrance, never found the actual location of 300. Must be hidden away so only the young young hipsters can find it. My thought was maybe Bowling 300 was a coming attraction along with Fezziwig's Candy and Mrs. Field's Cookies (which declared on a sign 'Coming in October 2008) [Can you tell that I thought GardenWalk was a bust?]

I long for the good old days when it was used as an excuse for middle aged men to get out of the house, and guzzle beer with their buddies. What made it even better is you could pass it off as a sporting exercise evening.
