PI Update: "Late Night Disney Springs" Begins This Thursday

As the Blog exclusively reported on February 15th, an adult DJ dance party will take place on the Island beginning this Thursday, March 1st and then every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night at least through the Spring Break season!  The outdoor party is for adults and begins at 10PM and will run through 1:45AM depending on the crowd.

 The parties will take place here at the Waterview Stage on the Island. According to reports in the Disney Parks Blog & Orlando Parks News websites, this is an attempt to make our former Pleasure Island back into a late night destination. Here is the current schedule for this weekend:
Thursday: DJ Ants
Friday: DJ Michael Wycoff
Saturday: DJ Elliot & Company
We're still hearing that the music format will be EDM/Electrohouse.
We'll see how it goes! Save Pleasure Island Blog will have coverage.
Big thanks to Blog reader DJMadmanray for contributing to this report.
