A reminder that the
Pleasure Island Reunion is less than 2 weeks away, taking place on Saturday, March 24th at
Atlantic Dance Hall. Come out and see many of all your old
PI friends! Have a few drinks and the dance floor will at least seem to be spinning! DJ Tony B (Motion, Rock'n'Roll Beach Club, PI Live, The Groove
) promises dance music from all the closed clubs including
Motion, Mannequins, BET Soundstage and
8TRAX.

Ehhh, I think I'll pass as it's time to move on. The last reunion there stunk and I left the 8 Tracks version at Retro Room by Midnight too, sorry!
We're coming out for maybe an hour JUST so we can see the gang. The Atlantic Beach Club (and I use the term "club" very loosely) is the most unappealing, uninviting, cold, hard, no atmosphere big box I have ever seen. I am very uncomfortable there but I will come for one drink to see my friends... UGH!
and hopefully the "lady manager" will not be as RUDE as she was the last reunion! she said and I quote "we are not catering to the Pleasure Island people" PI is closed and gone"
if I had heard her say this I would have gone to A Disney upper and told them (like they would care)
I know back in the old days she would have gotten fired for that comment and attitude!!!!
like I said if I hear this this time I will and get others to do the same!
Yea, I would not be caught dead at it either.
I've not seen that lady since the event in question which was 2 years ago. Don't know that she even works there anymore. Nonetheless, this is about seeing old friends, not the music. To me.
I'll be there with my girlfriend cause we both were there lots of times during the yrs that P I was opened & the only club we stayed in the entire night was our home away from home MANNEQUINS DANCE PALACE!!!!
Come on Disney if you're going to have a P.I. reunion involving the clubs, make everybody happy and let it be at pleasure Island.
Anon at 10:27pm, Disney is not "having" this PI Reunion. This is just a bunch of PI fans meeting at a certain place and time to recall the good old days.
still would like to hear some old Mannequins Music!!!! ya know!!!! lol!! still if I hear ANY one in charge say what she said i will complain!!
and I HOPE she got FIRED!!!!! and is still looking for a job!! people like that need to be with out a job!!
I hear ya. But I think a lot has changed since that incident 2 years ago. Back then the mention of anything having to do with PI clubs was off limits. That woman was probably instructed to tell the DJ that night (TonyZ) exactly what you overheard. Remember I tried to rent Motion for a Mannequins Reunion featuring DJ Peapod and was flat turned down by the head of Disney Catering & Events.
But these past few months we've seen an Adventures Club private event take place and we've seen a whole series of Comedy Warehouse skits take place over the holidays. So Disney seems less threatened now by the possibility that something might remind fans of Pleasure Island. So I'd really be shocked if they tell this year's DJ Tony B to not play specific music.
