And indeed, I enjoyed my cold drink listening to the steel drums of A Slice of Lime, a new act from Trinidad performing on the Island. My bartender tonight at Laffers Cantina was none other than Erin (8TRAX, Adventurers Club). I told her that if she could remember my drink of choice, I'd buy one from her. And even though it's been 3 years, she remembered!
Decent crowd on hand in Celebration Plaza for a September evening. No crowd on hand at Funmeister Plaza in front of a very lonely club Motion.
Further views above of the water main/sewer construction taking place beside Mannequins, as reported last night by Blog roving reporter Zulemara.
Spotted: Bethany and Bruce from Entertainment. Also, one of the 7 magicians currently employed on the island, working the intersection at The Hub.
SEVEN magicians??? I know I've seen like four, but no idea they had seven.
ReplyDeleteI think the one pictured is "Glenn," a nice guy who goes out of his way to push drink sales at PI Live. Another guy who's a dead ringer for early 1980s Eddie Murphy does so as well, but neither one seems to make much of a difference. In other words, magicians are far less profitable than even the Adventurers Club.
The amount of $$ TDO has blown in this PI fiasco should give every Disney shareholder fits.
...and there are fits that money is being thrown at all this entertainment nonsense going on. there is no profit being generated from these entertainment fiascos..but it is shutting up some hirer ups that are seeking a cheap alternative to not spending tons of money to regrand open the pi. this is a bandade fix put in place for a while with a special "additional operating budget adjustment" that was recently approved..the outcome is not favorabe and guest count had not increased..some heads are going to role
ReplyDelete"..some heads are going to role"
ReplyDeleteHopefully.
people will be cleaning their desks by the first of the year
ReplyDeleteHopefully they will "roll", not "role"!
ReplyDeleteCalendar year or fiscal year?
ReplyDeleteHopefully it'll be people who made some of the bad decisions, and not just a scapegoat to place blame on.
WDW is all about cheap solutions.
Joe you just found out that disney is all about cheap entertainment?
ReplyDeleteI have known this for years just look at PI real NYE! over the years
We're still hanging in there that if they tear down the Beach Club and fix up Mannaquins and
ReplyDelete8trax and Motion.
Also try to do something about AC back.
So come on people lets get PI going again.
P.S. It must be costing a lot of money to have those workers on overtime,so light everything up.
All the entertainment on the Island is outsourced. There are a few Disney employees responsible for booking and overseeing them and there are Disney employees in the two bars. And Maintenance. The few restaurants and few shops are outsourced.
ReplyDeleteNope...not a recent revelation.
ReplyDeleteall this EXTRA entertainment is to showboat pi to upper leadership that is do to visit the area before months end. there is no demo in the plans for any structures.
ReplyDeleteUpper leadership needs to read The Blog to see what's really going on out there!
