You should read this article in the Calendar section of today's Orlando Sentinel. In the article, "Theme Park Ranger" Dewayne Bevil points out that one year ago tomorrow, Disney made its shocking announcement that all of the comedy and dance clubs would be closing at the end of September.
The article then goes on to describe all that is new at Downtown Disney ranging from the tethered helium balloon ride on the West Side to the Hanes Design-a-Tee in the Marketplace. In reading this one does realize that there have been quite a few changes since PI closed.
But what I love about the article is that Bevil is not afraid to point out what is all too obvious to us Pleasure Island fans. I've circled it above; click on the image to view it. Bevil concludes the article with, "But it must be said: All of them could have been opened without closing nightclubs." Bravo Dewayne for saying it the way it is!

Yes, way to go Dewayne! None of that new crap is even on Pleasure Island, except for the restaurant. They didn't HAVE to close anything!
ReplyDeleteIs Kevin Lansberry still the "president" of Downtown Disney? If he is I might need to work on finding him another job.
ReplyDeleteHe still is... I think they must realize it was a dumb decision to close the clubs with no plan for the future, but they have too big an ego to admit they're idiots and reverse the decision (even temporarily until they get all these big contacts lined up with 3rd party companies to occur all that dead space).
ReplyDeleteI'm told that someone recently went to the Hanes Design-A-Tee store and wanted a shirt made with Bashful on it and the slogan, "Don't Be Bashful, Admit Your Mistake, Reopen the Clubs". They refused to print the shirt because, and I quote, "Disney doesn't make mistakes."
ReplyDeleteBob, I just thought I should mention that your website is blocked from the computers on Disney property. I just thought that was kinda funny.
ReplyDeleteBrad, I'm aware that this site is blocked on Disney servers. My Disney rep informed me of same a few months ago. This site hit a raw nerve.
