| It's been awhile since I visited that place where the palm trees sway, gentle waves lap up upon the rocky shore and the fun never seems to end.....beautiful Pleasure Island! |
 |
| At Celebration Plaza and Nicholas Marks on the Green Stage with his gypsy guitar! |
 |
| The unique sound he produces stops nearly all passersby to check it out. |
 |
| Who says there's no dancing on Pleasure Island! |
 |
| Over on the Purple Stage, it's the Andre Caram Band feat. Drey-C. |
 |
| The music is all EDM/Top 40/Dance and sounds great! |
 |
| DJ Andrew Michael provides the songs.... |
 |
| .....while drummer Trey-G provides the beats! |
 |
| Who says there's no dancing on Pleasure Island! |
 |
| Not to miss out on the outdoor music craze, Raglan Road had a duo playing Irish songs out on their west patio. |
 |
| Serving frosty cold brews from the Raglan beer cart in the shadow of Mannequins Dance Palace, Stephany hails from the Colombian section of Dublin! Éirinn go Brách girl! |
 |
| While Mannequins stands proudly and ready! |
 |
| 8TRAX looks a bit sad though. |
 |
| Trying to appear more downtown-like, Downtown Disney added a food truck this weekend to the West Side about midway between Planet Hollywood and the No. 4 Bridge to Pleasure Island. |
 |
| Well they did promise us new and bold, didn't they? Not sure what to make of this though. While I doubt lobster rolls are sold elsewhere in DTD, every meal sold here is potentially one less meal sold elsewhere. |
 |
| Over at Wetzel's Pretzels Plaza, the band La Calle was playing Pop and Classics to a large crowd. |
 |
| The music of Moises Espinal and Shaun Fisher surprisingly did not interfere with the music over on the Island nor v.v. |
 |
| A Splitsville update, the upper portion of the building is now completely covered in construction tarps and the advertising banners have been removed. |
 |
| Future home of 30 upscale bowling lanes, Pleasure Island fans anxiously await the promised Lounge which will be home to "live music" and "dancing". |
 |
| Peeking inside, views of construction blocks and sand. Have said this before and will say it again: no way this place opens by the advertised Fall, 2012. |
How the Adventurers Club doing?
ReplyDeleteI would love to go back to Downtown Disney if Mannequins reopens. Spinning on the floor with professional dancers in costume and lights above you. That feeling is like nowhere else in the world!
ReplyDeleteI miss Mannequins Dance Palace soooooooooooo much! Greatest night club I've ever seen! :((((((
ReplyDeleteNo changes at Adventurers Club.
ReplyDeleteThe fact so many people read this Blog certainly shows that there is a huge interest in bringing back what they closed!
It's good to know about Splitzville, and Mannequins.
ReplyDeleteNow lets see about 8Trax and reopen it, so that there will be three good clubs to party and dance in.
Good Post BOB,I check this page every time I visit the internet.
ReplyDeletewhich is Every day!!
Encouraging. Do we know about Mannequins for sure? I'm ready.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, we know very little. And nothing is definite.
ReplyDeleteThanks, ClubMaster.
I will ask where was everyone when PI was open! if there is a HUGH interest?
ReplyDeletethe crowd got smaller and smaller as the years went by!
why NOW do all of you SAY "I would go back they reopened" SURE!
actions speak loader then words!
Motion and 8 Trax were the best clubs ever built IMO
ReplyDeleteSeptember 29 2012 Saturday PI reunion of the 4 year anniversary of the last night we spent there, it is being help at ADH (Atlantic Dance Hall).
