Disney to close Pleasure Island’s six nightclubs:

The six nightclubs at Pleasure Island will soon shut down, as Walt Disney World redevelops the adult-focused district at Downtown Disney.

BET SoundStage Club, Mannequins Dance Palace, 8Trax and three other nightclubs that have for years catered largely to young, single adults — rather than to Disney’s bread-and-butter family market — will close after Sept. 27. Over the next couple of years Disney will reopen the Pleasure Island area with a broader mix of restaurants and shops.

Although not mentioned in the Orlando Sentinal story, the list of clubs to be closed does include the Adventurer’s Club.

Disney’s official statement includes this verbiage:

Based on Guest feedback, the nightclubs will be replaced by an extraordinary mix of dining and shopping – to be announced in the future – that will entertain Guests of all ages.

“Based on Guest feedback”.

Right.

Guests told you they wanted you to close the original, exciting, fun, unique experiences and replace them with yet another fucking high-end mall?

Screw you.

We’ll make one last trip to the Adventurer’s Club, and then I just don’t know if I’ll be in a mood to give Disney any more of my money.
