This is just pathetic...I didn't even mention the AC club!
I'm writing this letter to express my extreme disappointment in the
management of Walt Disney World. I am frustrated, sad, downright angry,
and nostalgic all at the same time about the closing of Pleasure Island.
Pleasure Island has been a fantastic place for the adult solo traveler,
college crowd, convention crowd, and many more to have some adult fun
while visiting WDW. There is nowhere else to go to dance to 70s and 80s
or techno and guests wanting to have a night life will now be looking
off property to fill their need. If the "bold new vision" of DTD
included something other than outsourced restaurants and a t-shirt shop,
maybe it would sting a little less. Unfortunately, we're getting a
T-shirt shop, outsourced restaurants, and a giant blimp. How exactly
does this satisfy my desire for comedy, dancing, or a night life?
Mannequins was once rated one of the best clubs in the country! It's
hard to believe it could come to this.
I am flying to WDW Friday morning and flying home on Sunday in an
attempt to say goodbye one last time to the place I call my second home.
It's my second home not because of alcohol consumption, but because I
met some fantastic cast members while picking up extra hours as a door
host at 8-trax. I still know managers, door hosts, and ticketing CMs
even though I've lived in WI the last 4 years. Sadly it seems there are
executives more interested in playing landlord than offering something
for EVERYONE to do. It was pretty creative to slowly kill the island so
its closing could be justified. It's too bad that creativity couldn't
be put to better use. Just remember, "you're dead if you aim for only
for kids. Adults are just kids grown up anyway."
