According to Save Pleasure Island Blog roving reporter Thommy on the ground at DTD:
12noon: Press announcement apparently delayed due to poor weather at DTD.
1pm: DTD Disney management is in a town hall meeting right now with Tom Staggs. Even though the announcement to the press is delayed, CM's will be briefed on what's coming.
3PM Staggs confirms Downtown Disney changing its name to Disney Springs and Pleasure Island will be The Landing. There will be two parking garages built; the one previously rumored near World of Disney and another near Cirque. As reported on the Blog before anyone, Pollo Campero is closing with the building to be demolished to allow WOD to expand. This will occur at the end of this summer. Pin Traders will also be demolished. Earl of Sandwich to be remodeled and expanded. By mid-summer heavy construction will be taking place in the complex. Someone on another website posted that construction will take 16-19 months to complete. I would expect construction to begin soon. New store and restaurant names were not announced. See prior article with names that have a high probability of being part of the new complex. We still await the press conference. |

Question what was the one from MONDAY?
oh and I predict no clubs will reopen and or NO 3rd party clubs! OK Dance clubs I do not claim Comedy warehouse as a club! OR AC!
SORRY for all you thinking or hoping for CLUBS back in PI or whatever they may call the OLD PI?
There were no announcements on Monday that I'm aware of.
Appropriate that it would rain on the day of the announcement
The clubs as we remember will never come back again.
just heard Planet Hollywood will be gone! ON wftv!!!!
Brian, our understanding is that The Observatory, as it will be called, will still be owned by PH but be more upscale. A regular PH would be over at the Orlando Eye.
OH OK I just heard was moving and PH building a hotel on I-Drive
Clearly, the elephant in the room as it pertains to this blog is nightlife. C'mon mouse!!!
NO NIGHCLUBS - FAIL,its as simple as that!
There is no indication of nightCLUBS (except possibly The Edison) but that doesn't mean there won't be nightLIFE.
Don't really understand the Pin Traders demolition but maybe that is part of the WOD expansion. What about the Magarita Bar on the water front? I hope that's not going away. I may have to protest that!!! Thanks for the update. Anxiouly awaiting the press conference!
Just not a lot of detail yet, Jeff. I'm guessing that Pin Traders will get a new location .
guess so far I was RIGHT! NO clubs?!
Anon at 11:13pm: You're right, no clubs. No restaurants or shops either. Nothing has been announced. But if the leaked names are accurate, The Edison is coming and that IS A CLUB.
