| 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! |
 |
| 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. |
 |
| 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. |
 |
| 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. |
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.
You'd think that the weekend following Electric Daisy Carnival would be kind of dead scene-wise. If that's what you think, you'd be wrong!

| As you likely know, the Lululemon store which was located on the fairly busy pathway between the Lime Garage entry portal and the No. 2 Bridge to Pleasure Island, has relocated to an even busier pathway where the Ugg store was, across from Free People and behind Zara. This former spot as shown above remains vacant. |

| Back before Covid19 they used to have a Disney-inspired Christmas Tree Trail in the former bus loop near Disney Springs Marketplace. This is no longer possible since that bus loop is now home to rideshare pickups. Instead you can find Christmas trees scattered throughout Disney Springs. This is how Disney describes this year's attractions: |
Special Entertainment – Meet Santa Claus and enjoy
festive holiday tunes with live musical performances and DJs. Plus,
encounter Toy Soldier Stilt Walkers and Snowflake Skaters.
Disney Springs Christmas Tree Stroll presented by AdventHealth –
Discover Christmas around every corner, as you come across a collection
of elaborately decorated Christmas trees throughout the neighborhoods
of Disney Springs.
Let It Snow! – Flurries are in the forecast for Disney
Springs Town Center. In the evenings, delight in a magical snowfall,
adding an extra touch of wonder to your holiday shopping.
Jock Lindsey's Holiday Bar РDecked out for the season, this restaurant-meets-lounge offers eye-catching d̩cor and tasty holiday-inspired menu items.

| This past Wednesday evening we visited The Edison Orlando on beautiful Pleasure Island. |
 |
| It's advertised as being located in an old -world power plant but as we all know, it's located in the former Adventurers Club. The Sound Society (USA) played short 3-song sets before going on breaks. It was an interesting experience. They still have not brought back the dance floor late nights since they reopened post-Covid19. |
 |
| This is AC Skybar in the A.C. Hotel by Marriott downtown. It's located on the 18th floor. |
 |
| And directly opposite on the other side of Interstate 4, this is Skylounge at Amway Center. It's located on the 6th floor. Which one is better? Check them out on OEN here. |
 |
| Our sister website Orlando Entertainment News was back in DTO (Downtown Orlando) last night. Friday night club picks can be found here. |
 |
| The Summer House signs that surround the various sides of the upcoming new restaurant have been updated to add "On The Lake" below "Summer House". The venue is supposed to open in "2023" so they now have exactly two months to get operational. The clock is ticking. |
