We are hoping to gather a group of AC fans for one last chance to enjoy the Hoopla at the AC. Who wants to throw back a Kungaloosh with us?

[whois figment]

I am interested I will be there that week

[Sawx04]

Me and DW plan on closing the place.

[RachelTori]

I arrive that day and am definitely interested! I'm meeting up with a friend so if she's game, we're in!

[Luv2Roam]

:cheer2:

And I would also like to keep up where the CW performers go (what club) as we would certainly visit any establishment they revert to.

[miste76]

I am currently looking into tickets and a room... my next trip wasn't planned until the end of October... that will be too late. Hopefully, I can plan one more trip for this year!!!

Update: We have our airline tickets and will be adding a value or moderate room!!! We will be at PI all weekend from open to close!!!

[Jason71]

Being making plans since Friday evening. Get there early, I expect a packed house.

[Katiebell]

Our flight back home is on the 26th, so we'll miss the goodbye party :sad1: But I'll be there in spirit, anyway...our last visit to the AC will be on the 24th...although we might head back for an encore on the 25th after Wishes at MK. How late is it open?

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

I too expect a packed house. We had plans to go to PI on the 26th already, but how can you miss the final night of something that you love so much? So, we turned our itinerary upsidedown to make this happen.

[Cinderellafifi]

Great idea! We'll be there!

[tink1957]

Sounds great, we'll be there.:cool1: I'm so glad that we already had this trip planned, we will divide our time between AC & CW, so sad to see them both go...what is Disney thinking?:mad:

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

Yeah, I know what you mean. When the rumors about this started swirling, Corey and I knew that our chances of seeing PI still in operation in December were slim to none. So, we decided to hope and pray that the pixie dust would hold out for us and that if we went for our anniversary, that we would be blessed with one last visit to PI. We both love the CW and the AC, so to find that we get to be there the last two nights is an unexpected bittersweet gift.

Corey and I are going to focus on the CW early on the 26th and then head over to the AC. On the 27th, Corey's friends from high school that still live in Florida are going to gather at 8Traks and Mannequins to do what they have done for years, dance their behinds off. :dance3: I am going to hang out at the AC with you guys that night.

[PatriciaH]

DH and I will be there with many friends!!!

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

OMG! I have wanted to meet you for a long time. You were the F&W Fest details connection last year! You posted the details before AllEarsNet or anyone else could get them up here on the DIS! You are one of my planning heroes. I owe you a :hug:

I swear, I am not a creepy stalker. :)

Keeping an eye out every day for the listings again this year! :thumbsup2 We are also going with a big group on Saturday the 20th to PI. "Club Hop Until We Drop... R.I.P- P.I." :dance3: So sad...

PatriciaH,

I just wanted to echo Lindy's sentiments too! Your F&WF information last year was invaluable. (you are a Planning Hero to many, I'm sure!) Another hug! :hug:

I'm not a stalker either! :)

[castmemberb4]

I am so sad about this guys !
Seriously I'm at work and keep crying from reading these posts and all of the great people who will be there that night.
Our flight doesn't get in until 10am on Sept 28th !!!! :sad:

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

Is there any way for you to change your trip arrangements? I hate this for you too. There are so many people that are upset by this closure. I don't know what Disney was thinking.

I wish that if they had decided that they wanted to turn DTD into retail and restaurants only that they had at the same time announced plans for a new adults only experience area with news on relocation of the AC and the CW to that new area. Even if the new area was another 2 or 3 years before it was to come into existance it would have made the PI closure news much easier to take.

:hug:

[tink1957]

I wholeheartedly agree Lindy:sad2: if they had just given us hope for the future, it would help soften the blow. Instead they break our hearts by taking some of the best places at WDW for adults and even for the 13-20 year olds since they could at least go to AC & CW and enjoy a good show.

By the way, I realized that we have ADRs for Spirit of Aloha at 8:00 that night so as soon as it's over, we'll be there with bells on :dance3: assuming that we can get in. I have a feeling it will be packed.

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

Did you see the Rumor Board?

[GazerBeam]

9/27 is our arrival day so we (two 30-somethings) are considering it. We were going to do food & wine but we've never been to the AC, and this will be our last chance, would seem a shame to miss it.

GB

[AdventurerKat]

Just an FYI, it sounds like a convention or something has the AC booked on the 27th until 10:00 p.m.. So it's going to be a short, and I expect packed, final night.

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

Well, that blows! Where did you find this info?

[AdventurerKat]

A staff member at the AC has now told a group I belong to it will most likely be a 9:00 opening, not 10:00. I will be there tomorrow night and will see if I can find out any further information.

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

Anything new?

[AdventurerKat]

I was told again it would most likely be 9:00. I think we'll know more as we get closer.

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

Thanks for letting us know. At least I can get a little quality time in at the CW until then.

[AdventurerKat]

It's going be packed no matter what time they open. I'd just plan to be there early and hope you can get in.

[mla1977]

I'm trying to make this happen. Flights on SW are cheap right now. I really need to talk to DBF about this though. I'm trying to get there from 9/25-9/29 and get in F&WF and MNSSHP too!

[choirchic]

I'm making my husband take me one last time while we're there at the beginning of September!

Alas my friends, the Kungaloosh will surely be missed...I will forever remember the day I was dubbed a "Kunga-Lush!" :grouphug:

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

Sadly, I am having to bow out of this meeting. I am going to have to have my gallbladder removed, so all of the paid time that I was going to use in September will have to be used later this month.

I hope you guys have a great time though. Hug Graves goodbye for me. :rotfl2: Kungaloosh!

[AdventurerKat]

It was posted on a board I am a member of that the AC's event that was scheduled for September 27 has been relocated. So hopefully it will open on time for the last night.

:yay: Thanks for the update! What time would you suggest we show up (in order to have a chance of getting in)?


Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan: Sorry to hear you've had to cancel your trip. Take care of yourself and my best to you for a speedy recovery. :hug:

[AdventurerKat]

I really don't have a good answer for that question. The ACs capacity is not that much. Getting in those last few nights is going to be difficult to say the least.

[tink771]

Hello, just an F.Y.I., I called Pleasure Island and the official last night is September 26th, 2008. The clubs will be closed September 27th! This is truly sad. I will in fact be going to Thursday September 25th, for our farewell Kungaloosh!! :sad2:

[tink1957]

So...when are we all meeting? The 25th will work best for me too as we don't have an ADR for that night. Looking forward to meeting you all.

[World Bouncer]

There is conflicting reports ... all from CM's... The 26th or the 27th being the last night????

Whichever night... we are planning to attend, hopefully the 27 cause that is what our schedule has it planned for.

See you all there! Hope it reopens in 2009!!

[kidsister]

We're leaving on the 25th so I'm planning on doing a farewell Kungaloosh on the 24th. Anyone else interested in that date?

[miste76]

I called and asked about this yesterday... the clubs are open on the 27th and closed on sunday the 28th.

[Katiebell]

We'll be there on the 24th....it's my birthday, we have dinner ressies at Raglan Road for 9 pm, then we'll be over to the AC :drinking1 Kungaloosh!

[justlikeeyore]

:cool1: Ill be there:banana: :goodvibes :yay:

[Jason71]

I really don't have a good answer for that question. The ACs capacity is not that much. Getting in those last few nights is going to be difficult to say the least.

Rumor is they will go back to the early 90s plan of exiting Library shows out the back door (so if you see a Library show, you have to exit the Club when it's done). Might help a little with crowds, but still will be packed to capacity.

In fairness, I think the unofficial farewell party will start well before 8:00 and stretch outside the Club all night. It will be a night to remember, but probably best to catch your favorite show one last time earlier in the week if at all possible (not that the whole last week won't be packed).

[brack]

I would love to be there for this final show but will have to settle for going during our early September trip. My son and I love this club. I am sad to see it close. :sad2:

[Wenda]

DH, DS and I will be at the AC every night that week. We will celebrate DS's 27th BD there on the 26th. We had planned to go in Feb but changed our plans as soon as we heard about AC closing. We just had to go one last time.

If they do make everyone exit from the Library I guess that is more fair to those waiting to get in and will make in safer inside.
We have reservations at Planet Hollywood for 4:45 on the 27th and plan to go to AC and get in line as soon as we eat. I figure there will be a hugh crowd and hope we can get in for the last show in the Library that night.

maximum capacity is 350.

We'll be celebrating DH's 28th birthday on the 26th, at Epcot, and my 27th on the 27th, at the AC.

At this point I think we're planning on showing up at DTD around 2pm-ish on the 27th - because we're really not sure HOW long those lines will be.

They did say on Saturday that the club will be opening at 7pm, and "convention" seating in the library.
