Pleasure Island Reunion


Back on September 27th former Pleasure Island cast members held a reunion to talk about the good old days on the island. (See article that date.) Well word is spreading abut a reunion for former Pleasure Island patrons to take place on Saturday, February 13th at Atlantic Dance Hall. This is not limited to Mannequins or 8TRAX or Motion, etc. fans. Everyone is welcome no matter what club you used to hang out in. Will post more details when I get them. Admission is free.

Hey Bob.

I heard talk today of some possible work going on inside of Mannequins, don't know for what but it might be being cleaned and fixed up for something to move in, most likely 3rd party.

There should be big turn out for this. God I can wait!!!!!!!!

It'd be fantastic if this was the single most profitable night in the history of ADH...

Jerry said...

I will definitely be there Bob. It will be GREAT to see everyone again. I do believe the bartenders/club knows of this reunion also. I have to check with Duane. See you all on 2/13.

I'll be there. Will be in the area for Speedweeks in Daytona.

From what I've seen, there isn't much activity goin on in Mannequins. The mannequins are still hanging up, so if there is anything planned, they must not be in too much of a hurry.

I love that there is a PI reunion but I wish it was not at a Disney club!!! Disney does NOT deserve the money! they will make from this to me it's a slap in the face to all of us!!!!!!! Disney closes our clubs and then wants us to came to there place and spend more money! I just wish we could do this somewhere else and not give them out money! to say to Disney HA HA HA.

To the last Anon, please understand that Disney is not behind this PI reunion. They want you to forget PI, not remember it. Not sure who started this but word is definitely spreading. The way to make an impression though is to have a large showing; maybe we should even have a few PI signs. We'll never top the revenue they make on New Years Eve so forget that idea, but a huge turnout would be impressive!

yeah but Disney is making money off of this and that is why I said we need to do a PI reunion off of Disney! and that was my point! I don't care if it was Disney not I just don't want Disney to benefit from the OLD PI people!

zulemara said...

but a point can also be made from giving ADH a huge boost in revenue when the PI faithfuls show up. That can also make Disney realize how much they are missing

Hey Bob,

Thank you for keeping us informed about PI. The reunion sounds great. Viera, Fl is about an 1hr and 15 minutes away, but it will be worth the drive to see everyone.

KingBob said...

Yes, it's ok for Mickey to make money off us. While we think closing PI was a huge blunder, we want all Orlando attractions to do well. It's OUR economy afterall!

I still stand by my statement that giving Disney our money from the old PI people is showing Disney we are suckers to keep on spending money there and would also tell Disney that it was good for them to close PI because now they still are making money off of us at a smaller place!

what would be good for us! is to do a PI reunion (off of Disney) and advertise for it and let Disney see that we spend money somewhere else!
I don't think Disney cares anyway!

KingBob said...

I understand where you're coming from. And you are correct that Disney doesn't care. They already that know you're spending your evening entertainment money elsewhere.

I think it actually may annoy them if ADH is successful.

Yeah Jeff, hope to see you out there!
