Originally Posted By LuvDatDisney Pleasure Island won't likely be around much longer, at least not the way it currently is set up.

I know for certain that at least two clubs won't exist anymore. No, I don't know which two but I have a pretty good idea.

That would be "Baila tu cuerpo Alegria Macarena, Hey Macarena HAY!!" ..and maybe you'll be more succesful in getting I57 to come down to WDW instead of heading west to DL for the upteenth time. >>Disney is working on a master plan to juice up the area with new shops, dining and entertainment and it's likely to be more mall-like (like the Westside) and Vegas-like than what's there now.<< Well if that is the case, then I sure hope Disney is ready to spend megabucks, since the real Vegas Strip (from the Mandaley Bay and all the way north to the Wynn) looks like a billion bucks and much more Disney-like than the sorry excuse they for DTD at WDW. Even DL's DTD is much nicer and upscale looking that our messy and badly designed DTD at Lake Buena Vista.

Originally Posted By TDLFAN >>No wonder he was quiet...<< He who? Me or I57? I can't attest for Inspector57 but I was quiet because I was falling asleep after that puppet show and especially during your presentation with WD. After all...I don't blame anyone for checking out my studmuffin... he has all the looks and all the attitude to match.

As for Pleasure Island, when my family and I went in 2003, my sister (who was 18 at the time) was interested into going to the clubs. It was funny: the PI section was filled with people in their 20s, and here was 5BR and the family walking about past the clubs. I do remember one young girl cussing because the security at the turnstiles were double-checking her ID. One of them told her to watch her language or she wouldn't have been allowed in the area.
