According to this, it is one of the places staying open.

To make way for the new offerings, all of the clubs currently on Pleasure Island will close on Sept. 27. Other locations on Pleasure Island , including Raglan Road , Fuego by Sosa Cigars, Curl by Sammy Duval, Orlando Harley-Davidson and outdoor food and beverage locations, will remain open during the transition.

I suppose it was a matter of time but I still miss the days when PI was for adults and required an admission fee at the front gate, not just to get into clubs. It was nice to have one small area where adults can be adults. It seems that when the gates came down - people started loitering and kind of took the fun out of the place.

Gee, I can't wait to have even more stores to shop in.

Please people... Read the opening thread on this. It tells you what is closing and staying open. This is getting to sound like the info line. It starts one way and ends up different. I miss the Beach Club and I am going to miss the Comedy Warehouse. But things have to change for the better. It all changed when they got rid of the every day is New Years. Since they dropped that it all went down hill.

TiggeRia,......Thanks so much for your kind response.

In regards to all the changes.... I am always excited about changes. Sure, I'll miss some things, but overall...I'm excited.

I completely agree, and am quite upset about this. Pleasure Island is a big highlight for us when we go to WDW, esp with the Adventurer's Club.

Wonder if they will change the name from Pleasure Island to Shopping Island? Thought Eisner left Disney?

I'm just glad we have one more trip there before it all closes down.

I agree, we have so much fun going and having "adult" time and a built in designated driver (aka the buses!). We can't do anything like that at home, there's just no easy way to do it at home. Families have all day at the parks, it was nice to have a place to escape in the evenings/night time do a little drinking and dancing, without young kids around. I'm so sad we won't have another trip down before this happens

Already over 1600 people signed the petition. If they all took the time to also write to Disney Co. or WDW sr. management, it gives a very strong signal that the bean counters are not appreciated!

Well said. I hope they start to keep the parks open later to compensate for lack of afterhours activity Pleasure Island provided.
