Since we've been chatting about Pleasure Island post-closure of the clubs, thought we'd look at some photos from that period too. As mentioned, PI became a dead zone after the clubs closed in September, 2008. It was off-season so there were already fewer people around to begin with. And for pedestrians headed from the Marketplace to the West Side, there was nothing once they walked past Raglan Road. Paradiso 37 (above) was still under construction, everything was closed and at night it was downright
eerie! |

Disney, people want clubs.
They know quite well what people want. What Disney plans to actually deliver is the mystery. Disney faces more competition than ever for the adult entertainment dollar. CityWalk has been improving their product. On nearby International Drive the new I-Drive Live will have evening adult offerings and Mango's is under construction. Downtown Orlando may soon be offering alcohol to 3am. And if the Orlando Magic build their huge new project, wow!
Recently we heard about the closing of Fuegos. We started a facebook to help save it. In case you are interested here is the link https://www.facebook.com/keepFuegosbySosas
We are also asking everyone to email Disney and let them know what a mistake this would be. wdw.guest.communications@disneyworld.com
Never mind Fuego's, we need to save the night clubs.
Because as King Bob has said City Walk is making more improvments, and making the money.
Disney had better get on the band wagon, and smell the coffee.
Much like the Holy Roman Empire, the "Ultra Lounge" thing was neither ultra nor a lounge. Another blown concept at DTD.
As an avid nonsmoker, I would never go to Fuego. But I do think the concept has value for cigar smokers and I like the idea of a classy lounge with top shelf scotches and other liquor. I think the concept fit well even with the new upper scale The Landing. So I am curious why they're closing. Does anyone know? So I can see why the blog would be interested I'm saving it. However I also believe right now a huge push should be made for Mannequins Dance Palace and wish the blog would concentrate on that.
Anonymous at 10:50 for the win.
I'll say it again, as dumb/hokey a concept as it was, the DJs and "party activators" of Celebrate Tonight always gave 100% and more often than not managed to polish that turd into something resembling a diamond--or at least a really fun cubic zirconium.
