And I would consider myself in the target audience too. Remember this is only pure speculation and its only being mentioned because of the recent closings at Pleasure Island of the Night Clubs. I doubt if it was to close Disney Quest would be considered due to Disney's lack of interest in it. Only WDW remains opened and even thats being runned down. <<< Sadly. As long as Billy Bob's continues playing live country and rock, I am a happy camper. >>> I agree this is a great venue especially on a Weekend, I was listening to a ton of very good Welsh acts back here in Febuary.

From all the guest who I spot during a trip very few of them look like the people who could aford or want to spend a night out at Hurricane's. As for keeping Hurricane's and adding a new club I find it a bit hard to believe the interest is big enough. Mind you when it comes to the Village and future plans, I really am starting to be convinced that Management have no idea.

Right now the Village is just a mix of all sorts of differnt designs that do not blend well together. Some are good and some are very bad.
