| Returned to beautiful Pleasure Island last night to check on the progress. |
 |
| Doesn't appear to be any progress to the block wall that will make up part of the Boat House Restaurant. But the progress is actually in front of that wall! |
 |
| Since much of the building will actually be above the waters of Village Lake, the progress seen in the past week centers on the over-the-water framework. |
 |
| Nice view of that framework here. |
 |
| Another new building takes shape in the area behind where Fuego used to stand. |
 |
| The concept art makes it look like this building could house several vendors in their own shops. |
 |
| This will be along the main pedestrian walkway that as you head eastbound will take you into the former service court of Raglan Road and Portobello. |
 |
| Meanwhile this round "stage" still appears to be part of an outdoor performance "amphitheater" of sorts. |
 |
| Speaking of Portobello, it's now nearly completely blocked by construction walls as workers rebuild that entire area formerly known as the "lily pad". |
 |
| There is an opening between walls to get to the restaurant and Portobello keeps an employee staffed there so that people can figure it out. |
 |
| Extensive renovation of the "lily pad" includes new planters with trees including several beautiful Weeping Fan Palms. |
 |
| This shot gives you a good idea of all the construction walls in the area. |
 |
| With it being a Tuesday, Mannequins was probably not opening last night. Maybe some other night. |

Couldn't be soon enough!
I know!
They just did a report on CNN last night about the rising popularity of EDM and djs performing songs themselves. They cited Afrojack. Said dance clubs were packed like never before. Disney would be completely out of touch and negligent to their shareholders and guests not to reopen Mannequins Dance Palace at this point in time.
Since Disney continues to post record profits, I don't think many stockholders are upset.
If you can post a link to CNN's story, would love to watch it.
Yes, certainly no share holders are upset at Disney's record profits but they could have done better with Pleasure Island clubs (updated) running and would have prevented a lot of money going to Universal through CityWalk that they were able to use to build the first Harry Potter land at IOA which got the ball rolling for Universal which has taken $ away from Disney. Of course I'm aware of the theory that any trips taken to Orlando to go to Universal May also result in a visit to Disney and Disney probably has record attendance numbers. Sorry I don't have a link to the CNN article, Bob, because I just saw it on tv.
