What do people do without Pleasure Island?

We've never been much for nightlife, but I haven't really heard where people who want to dance are migrating. Anyone know?

I think Atlantic Dance hall or off-site are your only options! It's unfortunate for those who love dancing, but we weren't really the bump and grind type to begin with. We do miss Adventurer's Club and the Comedy Club, though.

Probably another newbie question, but I'll ask anyway: why did it close?

I'm not really sure actually..my guess is that it wasn't drawling the revenue that it wanted.
I love ALL things Disney..but I had one bad, bad awful night at Pleasure Island with a bunch of my sorority sisters when I was 21. I wasn't sad to see it go..I got a headache just walking by the place.

Great question. I think Disney was realizing that it wasn't marketed to their prime audience and that it wasn't bringing in the revenue they wanted. Jello shots in the middle of the street never really screamed "Disney" to me... laugh

That's right! Maybe if they were sold with "pixie dust!" sarcastic laugh

They had them in syringes..I always thought that was weird.
