DS Update: Balloon Ride Discount

Not sure of the current price to ride the Aerophile balloon at Disney Springs West Side but we thought it was $25 + tax = $26.63. But over at Groupon they're selling an advance ticket for 1 passenger for $24.99 and for two passengers, $46.99. Basically, you're saving the sales tax with 1 passenger and over $6 on the two passenger deal. If you're planning to go it's a no-brainer but be aware to use the Groupon deal you have to purchase the deal at least one day prior to use. Check it out here.

DS Update: Remembering Pollo Campero

Back in the Fall of 2010, the McDonald's in Downtown Disney Marketplace had already been converted into fast food chicken restaurant Pollo Camparo.

A price point of $6.99 for a combo meal was a pretty good deal back then considering having a meal for under $10 anywhere in Disney World was limited to very few places. Today the cheapest place to eat in Disney Springs with tables to sit at is probably Earl of Sandwich, with several food kiosks or food trucks offering additional options but without dedicated seating.

Club Reports: The Arena Art Bar, Elixir Bar, Taco Kat

We don't get out often on Sunday nights, but when we do, we find great music. Sunday night pics including DJ Prunk (NL) can be found on Orlando Entertainment News here.

 

DS Update: They Got The Power!

It's not really in Disney Springs but it's close. The world's only power pole that's shaped like Mickey!

DJ duo Walker & Royce (USA) were last night's headliners at The Vanguard but DJ VNSSA (USA) had the set of the night! Friday night pics are on Orlando Entertainment News here.

Neighborhood Party

After a week in often below-freezing cold north Europe, it was great to be back in Florida where it's it's hot and sunny! The neighborhood where I live was having a winter party for the kids and hearing music from my house brought me over.

They even had a snow ride!

The music, Top 40 and EDM, was delivered by DJ Ryan Morales (USA).

World's Largest Disco VS World's Smallest Disco

One of our readers commented about attending last week's World's Largest Disco event in Buffalo as we previously posted and wondered about the World's Smallest Disco.

The World's Smallest Disco actually was called Studio 0.00054 and took place in Orlando back in 2013. It was so small, only the DJ fit inside and the dance floor had to take place on the pavement outside it!

Club Reports: Attic Club, Carousel Lounge (MSC Euribia)

Night 2 of the cruise aboard MSC Euribia included a visit to Carousel Lounge ft. DJ TJ (ZA). Pics are on our sister website Orlando Entertainment News here.

PI Update: Remembering The PI Stairs

Yesterday's article was about the PI Live DJ booth being razed back in November, 2009. At the same time that demolition was taking place, the stairs on the south side of Mannequins was also being removed.

Remember that in this juncture in time, Disney had no clue what they wanted to do with Pleasure Island and plans for Disney Springs were years away from being hatched. Perhaps they thought the Mannequins building would be easier to lease-out if there was no upstairs access. Interestingly, Morimoto Asia ended up in the spot and they built an entire outside deck up there, with doors!

PI Update: Remembering PI Live

In November, 2011, barely a year after Pleasure Island closed, the PI Live DJ booth demolition began. At this juncture they had no clue what they planned to do with the Island but for some reason this booth had to come down.

You'll recall that the PI Live booth was home to DJ's playing music to passersby throughout the day and evening. At night, if you weren't inside a club and were instead hanging around outside, the music you heard came from up here. When the PI clubs were closed in September, 2008, music ceased from up here too. Months later the booth would reopen because customers complained the Island seemed so dead and eerie at night. You'll recall it was necessary to traverse the Island during those years when passing between Downtown Disney Marketplace and Downtown Disney West Side.

Club Reports: Opa, Hampton Social, Zebra’s, The Vanguard

Formerly known as Sultan and Ned Shepard (CDN), they now go by just Sultan + Shepard. They are seen above in reverse order but they played an awesome concert last night at The Vanguard. Pictures can be found on Orlando Entertainment News here.

Club Reports: Pat O’Brien’s, Red Coconut Club, McQueens, The Abbey

Last night sister website Orlando Entertainment News attended a Y2K party at The Abbey, a night filled with music from the turn-of-the-century. Check it out plus the other stops here on OEN.

DS Update: Has Lost Its Popularity

When Disney Springs Town Center first opened, the cupcake ATM at Sprinkles was all the rage. There would be long lines to use it. But it appears to have fallen into disuse because we never see anyone there anymore. Everyone is now in the line on the Island for that cookie place, lol.
