Pleasure Island Before Pleasure Island


Faithful Blog reader Ken is constantly scanning YouTube so that he can share new Pleasure Island videos with everyone. This one is fascinating. A very young Regis Philbin in 1987 reports on all the exciting new things coming to Walt Disney World.....including Pleasure Island. This is an awesome look at PI during construction. Thank you very much Ken!

  3. Oh gee, I can't tell. The design of the frame to the right of him (from our vantage) kind of looks like the Mannequins building but if it is, I have no idea of the perspective.

    What impresses me the most is the huge number of projects Disney had going on at one time.
