Paid a first ever visit to Atlantic Dance Hall out at Disney's Boardwalk Resort last night. WOW.....what a beautiful facility! Two stories, huge dance floor, lots of art deco features, all overlooking the huge lake.
The only thing missing was customers. I counted somewhere between 40 and 50 of them; quite a few PI regulars were there. The DJ played requests; the song mix was quite similar to Motion or the Groove, all with music videos displayed in large scale up on the back wall. I was really impressed. I'm sure it was really awesome on New Year's Eve when it sold out to 700 patrons. But 50 patrons doesn't do it justice.
So why doesn't this place get advertised? My sources tell me that Disney has a contract with the Swan and Dolphin to provide a night club. So this is what they have to meet their contractual obligation yet there is no incentive to make higher profits. I'm not sure how that makes sense but there is definitely no effort to promote it and it is what it is.
Anyone who hasn't been there needs to see this place. If any of you have more details about this venue, please share.
