Does anyone still hang out at Pleasure Island now that the clubs are gone? I was just wondering what is there and what they offer. Is it worth even stopping by to look at?
 
We went to Raglan Road this past weekend and enjoyed a little desert and some Irish band. They were good but I didn't have it in me to sit for a couple of hours listening to songs about Danny and his Whiskey. I can't think of any reason to visit DTD now... let alone PI.

I still like DTD; the shops and all especially during Christmas. PI is both pathetic and sad. When I was there back in December, it was just a walk-thru from West to East or vice-versa.

P.S. Sorry we didn't meet up when I was there, Reb. As usual, I leave something home when I go on vacation. This time it was your phone number.

A little birdie told me that a certain someone who shall remain nameless went and looked in the windows at The AC and that they havent "gutted" it yet.... they also told me that security told that certain someone if SHE did it it again they would have to ask her to leave PI....:lmao: (not saying that is true just saying thats what I heard from a little stitch(snitch) bird

Nope, it hasn't been gutted! ...and the story you heard is true! While you were fighting with Sarah over at DHS I was defending my actions with the mousecops lmao They were nice and polite but said that I had to move it or else I'd be escorted off the property. I really can't understand why they were so pushy... I know I prolly looked like a dork with my face smashed against the doors but they honestly left me no choice...all the other buildings were blacked-out! :confused3

:lmao: Good ole cranky, rude ,obnoxious, meanspirited, unfair, Sarah, who had NO Disney Magic and I am sorry but it was worse than a CM having a bad day, bad days I ignore we all have them, extreme nastiness I cannot ignore....She stole my Disney Magic in December, ToT will never be the same ....(but yes, to the sweet person that told me to let it go..yea,yea, yea..its gone...forgiven, and forgotten until someone brings it up or I happen to bump into her again, in which case I am going to smile real sweetly and say have a magical day!!!!!)
 
I have been to the AC a few times and thought it was AWESOME!! So sad to see it closed. I was at Downtown Disney a few weeks ago and decided to walk through PI to see what had been done. I did notice a few people drinking at the old CW bar outside. I think the bartender there used to work in the club, but I can't be sure.
 
I've been told people have looked in but they say that they put chains up now...sad really. I think I was told that George who used to work in the club and at the outside bar is over there now...anyone know for sure?

Yes, "Jungle Juice" George, 10-year bartender at PI/AC, now works Laffers Cantina outside the former Comedy Warehouse most nights. Another favorite bartender, Erin, manages the area, occasionally you might run into her as well.

The AC won't be gutted until after the Super Bowl--they have private parties scheduled that week. Until then, every night the lights remain on, the a/c continues to blow the flags, and the Yakoose still moves back and forth and howls. For absolutely no reason other than to waste electricity. :mad:

No offense to Rebecca, but I kind of like the Irish band at Raglan--but a lot of my friends agree with her, can take maybe an hour, tops. If traditional Irish music isn't your thing, don't plan on making a night of it.

Fuego also deserves a mention--awesome cigar bar. Great staff, cool atmosphere, open to 2:00 a.m.

Sadly that's about all that's left of PI.

Hmmm...was it two incredibly handsome men, one bald, the other dark-haired? :confused3

I believe the bald one is John who used to work at Mannequins. Is Erin the one who used to work at 8TRAX and then the last year or so at AC?

They had a good night on New Year's Eve; planning to shut down the bars at 11pm but staying open until after 1am because there were so many people out there. Of course those many people out there had nothing to do. And with the exception of NY's Eve, PI is pretty deserted with just people passing by in one direction or the other.

I'm going to have to stop by and say hello to George one of these nights, I remember him well from the club as I was a semi club goer, anyone know what nights he works?

Varies, I know he'll be there this Thursday/Friday--maybe the rest of the weekend, too. Any given night he's there, you're bound to run into at least a couple former AC regulars.

And King Bob, yes, same Erin. :thumbsup2

Ah..okay, that's cool. I wasn't able to go as much as I'd liked to, but it would be nice to see some familiar faces.

Well first, there are still some private events booked at the AC even through this month. Aside from that, there are several rumors circulating about a return of the AC, but the powers that be will ultimately make that decision (if they haven't already).

Have a look at my youtube page (link in sig) and you'll see a video of PI in its prime...what a different world it was then.
