Pleasure Island to be REDONE soon
The Save Pleasure Island blog has recently discovered some really interesting documents and permits that have been filed by the Walt Disney Company. What are they about? One of the few abandoned places of the resort: PLEASURE ISLAND.
Yes, Pleasure Island has been closed for more than two years now (it was completely shut down in 2008).
Was it a good move on Disney's part? Well, both yes and no, in my opinion.
Indeed, i love family-friendly attractions, but many of the clubs that were there (not all of them) were more adult-centered, much like the ones you can find at Universal Citywalk. So, what have they have done about it after they shut down all the clubs? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
The only thing that was added to the island since it was closed was the new South America restaurant "Paradiso 37". Then... nothing. And that's a shame, since there's a lot of space that could be filled with some new family-friendly attractions and such.
But, let's come back to today.
Save Pleasure Island has found these permits that say that some of the current buildings will be completely destroyed and replaced with new ones, while others will be preserved and will be refurbished:

"They should re-do it completely in favor of families"
ReplyDeleteWow... the poll by now give this result!!!
I voted like this because i think that disney is fully familiar while universal is for more teenage/adult focused!!!
Downtown Disney is one of the amazing court in the world; giant animated and wonderful! I hope it will be more focused on the family!!!
Just a quick update. Last time I visited there were many panel to cover some works on the portobello restaurant bridge and finally some sigh of pollo campero were positioned on the ex mc donald tower.
I hope you will have time to take a little report on Downtown disney in the next week
There was a rumor going around at one time saying that it was going to get World of Color
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's true, but now I don't think it will ever happen. I'm happier though that they're redoing PI!
