Just thought I would mention that. There is no evidence to support that the clubs are returning, however it's not impossible. Since they are charging for parking they could make more with a completely different crowd at night. If the clubs are taken over by third party vendors, Mannequines will not be as it was. Disney has like million rules they want club vendors to follow, rules that prohibit profit. Hell they wouldn't play any music in Mannequines that had ANY type of profanity. Even if it was just a single brief snipit. Knowing this most club operators will not install 10 million dollars of lighting and sound, without being able to recoup it. I think it's over guys, but lets hold out hope.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12083961371931389355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7900984237451420547.post-16976727755775321822013-02-17T14:52:34.645-05:002013-02-17T14:52:34.645-05:00What a let downWhat a let downAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7900984237451420547.post-75314512701991006822013-02-17T12:29:39.148-05:002013-02-17T12:29:39.148-05:00Well we don't know what Disney has planned yet...Well we don't know what Disney has planned yet. Supposedly they have third parties lined up all waiting to open something up in the new DTD. The published concept map is short on specifics, except that Planet Hollywood is gone and in its place, The Observatory.<br /><br />Anon at 9:18pm, you point out that they would not want drunks wandering through retail space and that it true. But remember that typical nightlife does not begin until later at night when retail is mostly shutting down. And people headed home or back to their hotels after nightlife would mostly be doing that after midnight when the shoppers are long gone.<br /><br />Shawn Tucker, you make a good point. The alcohol is already there so how does adding a dance or comedy club make things worse?<br /><br />But yeah, I've heard previously that no clubs are returning. But we really need to wait and see what they announce. Pat O'Briens, Latin Quarter, Margaritaville are all examples of restaurants that turn into clubs late at night and perhaps we'll see some of that. Restaurants that simply shut down when dining ends at 10pm are missing out on another 4 hours of revenue if they simply close for the night.KingBobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7900984237451420547.post-24072512451698116742013-02-17T09:21:30.499-05:002013-02-17T09:21:30.499-05:00Associating dance clubs with rowdy dunks is ridicu...Associating dance clubs with rowdy dunks is ridiculous. The Island, and other areas around it, are flowing with alcohol already. The ability to dance or see comedy doesn't add any danger.

Since Raglan and other restaurants seem to be stuck on the island, I'd look at it more of a eating section, keeping it away from the retail section. Surely, they would not have all manor of drunk party goers from "Pi" walking thru retail space, which is what would happen under this plan, so again I don't see the nightclubs coming back. Interesting note there about what is Planet Hollywood, the name change fits something I heard and that something included the words that nightclubs would not return.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7900984237451420547.post-64821797281866567792013-02-16T20:48:06.502-05:002013-02-16T20:48:06.502-05:00Three things:

If "Disney Springs" isn't exciting to us, then it probably is not very exciting to the Imagineers either. Names could change at any time.<br />3) I'm interested in seeing if there will be anything related to Marvel, Avatar, Star Wars, etc. since the new area is potentially neutral territory which would support a wide variety of content, properties, themes, etc.<br /><br />In any case, I agree that this is good news, the PI areas may once again become a hub for exciting nightlife. Dancing -- and The Adventurers Club -- could re-appear in the future.FNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13189055965642825011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7900984237451420547.post-36624557402766272892013-02-16T14:47:49.597-05:002013-02-16T14:47:49.597-05:00Anon at 1:50 pm, will the Mannequins building stay...Anon at 1:50 pm, will the Mannequins building stay a dance club as part of the finalized plans?
