PI R.I.P. - 3 Years

Today is September 27th and that marks the 3rd anniversary of Disney's largest blunder, the closing of the Pleasure Island dance and comedy clubs in order to replace them with.....nothing. That's not to say progress wasn't made this past year. After all, Motion and Rock'n'Roll Beach Club both got demolished since the 2nd anniversary. In their place we have weeds and mulch. Also since the last anniversary we had the announcement of the conversion of Pleasure Island to Hyperion Wharf, now indefinitely on hold and perhaps outright cancelled. Alas, there is some hope on the horizon. The announcement of Splitsville on the West Side and promise of music and dancing represents the first real possibility that Disney will allow the return of a few more adult-focused entertainment options. Maybe we'll know more about it by the time the 4th anniversary rolls around next September.

Some of the best times of my life,
Made many life-long friends,
Met my husband there,
Saw countless concerts...
It was the best,
There are no words.
