--------------------------

Pleasure Island is a Disney theme park devoted to the Dionysian pursuits of wine, song and dance. Not a great place for kids--but a delightfully decadent place for adults who just don't want to stop when the parks close. 

At Pleasure Island, you'll find seven clubs, all with distinct personalities. (The eighth club, Pleasure Island Jazz Company, closed to make way for a new type of venue. Raglan Road, an Irish Pub, serves as a table service restaurant for lunch and dinner, then transforms into a nightclub late in the evening.) Here's what you'll find:

  • Mannequins Dance Palace--Trendy, techno-pop club with a revolving dance floor. 
  • MOTION--What was once a country music nightclub (Wildhorse Saloon) has become a showcase of music from Top 40 to Alternative. 
  • Rock n Roll Beach Club--Styled after a kitschy beach bar, this establishment features live entertainment several nights a week, playing contemporary rock, hard rock and alternative.
  • 8TRAXX--Here, cast members actually dress in polyester as they serve drinks to the beat of the seventies and the eighties.
  • Adventurers Club--Patterned after the paneled libraries and elegant salons of similar clubs of the nineteenth century, you'll find many comedy opportunities, including a puppet full of innuendo--if you know what I mean!
  • BET Soundstage--Features a moderate-sized dance floor and techno-pop, jazz, rhythm-and-blues, and other forms of popular music. Live bands occasionally appear.
  • Comedy Warehouse--Improv at its most imaginative! It often "bites the hand that feeds it" with occasional parody of The Walt Disney Company, but more often, you'll be engaged with quirky, edgy comedy as suggested by frisky audience members.


Construction walls have been hoisted on the Motion end of the promenade.


The "old" Harley Davidson store is now closed while the new venue, in 
what was once Changing Attitudes, is being outfitted.


The West End Stage has been totally destroyed, making Planet Hollywood much more visible from the Island.


A wider, more picturesque bridge will be constructed, leading from West Side to PI.


Rear view of the West End Stage. 


The "Missing Link" signage has been removed to reveal only the lighting mechanism.


The blue building formerly housed Changing Attitudes, but will 
become the new Harley Davidson store.


Even the dee-jay side of the street is not being spared construction woes.


Above and below, the stage next Rock n Roll Beach Club comes tumbling down!
