| The Blog usually runs one or two PI Updates every week but today marks 3 straight days of exciting news from beautiful Pleasure Island! |
 |
| We previously published the construction permit and it's finally begun: the demolition of Comedy Warehouse began yesterday! Difficult to see because they've begun in the far corner. (CLICK ON PHOTO TO ENLARGE) |
 |
| Zooming in a bit we can see some of the outer structure pulled-away! |
 |
| Upstairs front side facing Celebration Plaza, no visible demolition here.....yet! |
 |
| And nothing visible even here from The Waterfront. But we've witnessed how quickly Motion and Rock'n'Roll Beach Club were demolished so we know this won't take long! |
 |
| Dropping by Planet Hollywood to see what's up! |
 |
| Dining guest Tara, visiting from the UK, making a request for some Springsteen from DJ Tony Z (Atlantic Dance Hall, Le Rouge Wine Bar). |
 |
| The place was packed with a long line outside stretching up the stairs. PH is supposed to be closing to be renovated into The Observatory but this seems to be just speculation at this point. The place is already a cash cow! |
 |
| We previously reported that Downtown Disney Lot H was closed to guests. The front half will be used for a demolition and construction staging area for Disney Springs while the rear half is being used for bus parking. This is the lot in front of Planet. |
 |
| Lots I, J & K (directly in front of Downtown Disney West Side) were supposed to be closed this past Monday but they're still open and were packed last night. This is where Disney's first parking garage structure is to be built. Plenty going on; come check it out for yourself! |
A new Downtown Disney guide-map is being distributed and shows some of the in-progress changes taking place in preparation for Disney Springs. What’s interesting is most of the buildings on Pleasure Island are removed from the guide map as well as the closed parking lots and closed walkway to the east side of Saratoga Springs. It simply shows grassy areas where the parking lots and buildings (Comedy Warehouse, 8-trax, etc.) are now standing. However the Mannequins building is still in the guide-map, but is not labeled. I hope this is a sign that the building is remaining.
ReplyDeleteI heard the building is remaining, but the club is not. :(
ReplyDeleteYes, someone posted that last night. Mannequins survives but all the other buildings on that side of the main pathway are razed. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteseams to me disney updates the MAPS when they start to take down buildings so when they are gone they are ready for the new area! so right now Mannequins/8TRAX is not ready to go down YET!?
ReplyDeleteyou know what I just realized? the new maps do not show the NEW bridge that is going in! HMMM???? so there will be a NEW map soon?? and that this is not the last map to come out! SO the Mannequins/8TRAX building still can be gone later! so it is nto safe after all
ReplyDeleteMannequins is not safe and yes it could come down later. But if they were going to take it down, now would be the time because they're already working on that side of the pathway.
