an end of an era

sadness - it was announced sometime ago that pleasure island would be closing. the doors officially shut about 2 weeks ago. i received an urgent phone call from mandy on the verge of hysteria that day - she had found ticekts to orlando round trip for 94 bucks. we almost went. but in the end it didn't work out.

the following text and correlating pictures were taken from one of my favorite blogs - see? it's right there in my crap section to the left. it shows the recent updates with downtown disney and there crap ideas of adding more stores/ restaurants.

our thoughts are with you jimmi - where ever you may be.

As promised, here is a photo report from my latest trip to Walt Disney World during WDWCelebrations World Wide Weekend event. I only get to do one of these every few months, so please forgive me if my photos aren’t as good as you are used to seeing:



The Braille map at Pleasure Island was updated to reflect the closing of the 6 remaining clubs almost instantly



Pretty empty at the time being



T-Rex Cafe is being considered Pleasure Island property just to pad the line-up, even though it does not open until October 14.



This former club sign was also switched over to advertising for the Festival of the Masters



Work inside of Motion has begun so quickly that they haven’t even gotten walls up yet



All signage gone from 8-trax



The Adventurer’s Club is dead for now, but they are booking special events for the venue up until Super Bowl Sunday 2009



The BET in BET Soundstage Club was gone almost as soon as the patrons were



Sorry, no more tickets…



The T-Rex Cafe is almost ready for its debut in less than two weeks









Here is the sign being worked on a few days earlier





Work on the new stage for the Marketplace is in full swing now



Disney Design-a-Tee is opening next to the Art of Disney on November 15th
