Hey gang, here's the question of the night...

When you visit Pleasure Island, where are your favorite places to have fun?

These are my Top 3, in no particular order:

1.) 8TRAX...I went in there for the first time on my latest trip, expecting it to be only 70s music. I had no idea they now played 80s music as well. Well, I took to the floor and got my boogie down to everything from Donna Summer to Dead Or Alive, from Run-DMC to Frankie Goes To Hollywood (It was "Relax", and I'll say it again...I think Disney management would cardiac if they knew what THAT song was about). The tourists were excellent...They looked like they came from the 70s and 80s. Big hair, wild clothes, shirts like Prince wore in the climax of "Purple Rain", I even saw a mullet up-close for the first time...I was in Heaven. I love 8TRAX! Even the design is cool...they have an area that looks like the V.I.P section of an elite disco from the 70s. Unfortunately, my Coke was diet and not Colombian (RIMSHOT).

2.) The Adventurer's Club...Perhaps it's better enjoyed when you're soused (I wouldn't know, I'm 20 years old and a teetotaler), but still, to pay a visit here is always great fun. The cast is always good to interact with, the shows are always entertaining and the artifacts are authentic and amazing.

3.) Comedy Warehouse...The comedy is good, but the design is better. Look around you and you're staring at 50 years easy of Disney history...Mock movie posters, old theme park signs, memorabilia from long-past rides, shows and shops. It's amazing. The cast is wonderful as well...They got some pretty good material out of my suggestion of Barbra Streisand in the "Cold People" category of their game "Shmeopardy" (name changed for legal reasons).

So, let's hear it, Disney Dudes and Dames...What are your favorite Pleasure Island attractions?

Sincerely,

the long departed wildhorse saloon.
I miss that place! :mad:
 
I love Adventurer's Club. I could spend the entire evening there. It's fun and I love that it's a smoke free environment :) Then again, I'm way over 20 ;)
 
Take a wild guess!

Are there other clubs on Pleasure Island? I hadn't noticed.

And I've never been called a "Disney Dame" before... I don't know whether to think of that in the same context as the song from "South Pacific" that goes "There is nothing like a dame" or as a highfalutin title, like Dame Judi Dench has. I like the second option.
 

I like :

The Adventurers Club - because every show is different and soooo much fun - smoke free is good for me as well.

Comedy Club is always good for a laugh

So far the only "music" club I've really enjoyed is the Rock 'n' Roll Beach Club as I love watching the live acts.
 
My three favorite:

#1 The AC

#2 The AC

#3 The AC

'Nuff said.

Let me restructure this question...

It's apparent that Adventurers' Club is everyone's favorite, so let's modify the question to:

What are your favorite clubs on Pleasure Island that aren't the Adventurers' Club?

This could be a little more difficult, but surely you like others besides the AC (No offense to that club, because as stated, it's a fave of mine as well)...

Fair enough! But it all falls under the theme of why I personally like the AC so much. Disney, to me, is about the "Magic," which I define as when I'm spending money, am I forgetting where I am and being transfered to a place where nothing in Central PA matters, I don't care about my stinking computer lab, and the world becomes different. I mean, living in a College town, I can go to a different dance club every night and need a month to do repeats. And I can go to Hershey park every weekend and ride rides. It's all about the "Magic," and in my mind, the AC is the only place that falls in that catagory. The R&R Beach Club is an incredible club, and the bands are fantastic. But I can say that about a couple places here. I also don't like most of the clubs there because I'm an old coot and just don't feel like shakin' it any more.

That said: The CW, because improv comedy is something I can't ge without traveling to a population center. and it's well done. Plus the layout of the club is intersting.

Second choice: The Jazz Club. No juke boxes, no cover bands, but really talented jazz pianists, usually. Good stuff.

Third, the AC.

Sorry, can't help myself!
 
Bring back the WildHorse Saloon!!! There are so many Country Music fans that visit Disney. I can't believe they pulled that one. Must have had low attendance....(?)
 
I'm not much of a "party person" and have never been fond of dance clubs. Dh and I loved the Comedy Warehouse, good, clean, "Whose Line is it Anyway" improv comedy. We also got a kick out of the Adventurers Club. I got to make Fly-Fishing Zeus anatomically correct :D :D

Almost forgot, I really enjoyed the Jazz Club. The singer and the band were great. DH and I just ordered drinks and relxed.

I think I am realizing why most people here aren't especially into the dance clubs...The kind of adults who vacation at Disney versus other more "adult" places tend to not be dance-till-you-drop partiers (this is just my opinion by the way). The dance clubs at PI were primarily filled with locals doing the club-hopping thing, which if I were into that I could just stay home and do it.

AC, CW and even the Jazz Club are much more "Disney" to me than the rest.
 
Pleasure Island Season Pass Holder from Ohio!!

#1 -- 8trax

#2 -- Manequins(sp)

#3 -- BET Soundstage

Honestly it really depends on the croud when you are there...and the night. During the week it is mostly business conference folks and the mood is geared toward 8trax. Cast member night is more geared to the former Crazy Horse - top 40 music - and Manequins. Weekends have vacationeers and locals and all the clubs are packed. The comedy club and AC are always a blast.
 
Definitely 8-Trax.....great atmosphere.....great music....best club for people watching

I've only been to PI once. We enjoyed AC and CW- I don't dance, so didn't have any interest in visiting any of the dance clubs-sorry.
 
In all the times I have been to WDW, I have never been to PI.

I usaully travel alone, and was not sure how it comfortable I would be in there by myself.

Would the Comedy Warehouse even make a reservation for 1???

Thanks in advance.

There are no reservations for any of the clubs on PI. You pay your ticket to get on the Island ($21.95 for a night, somewhere around $59 for a season pass, or use a "plus" option). Once you're in, you're in. The CW line starts forming about a half hour before a show. I've been in there alone.

I'd suggest trying PI as a solo. I've been quite comfortable. I'm not a 'dancer,' and spend most of my time either walking the street, as there are often great bands playing on the West End Stage, or in the Adventurer's Club. I've seen many the solo at the AC. I find it a unique experience to go alone rather than with my wife. I like "people watching." It is most definately an "in-season" sport at PI.

Pat,

Thanks for all the great info.
The way you described PI, it sounds like it will be right up my alley.

I will certainly make a point of going during my next trip in June.

Thanks, Paula
 
#2 - Comedy Warehouse
#3 - Jazz Club

(my #1 favorite goes without saying...)

Paula, I would most definitely do PI solo. We have met a couple of solos while in line at CW...you wait outside for a little while so there is plenty of time to strike up a conversation. :)
 
KristinU,

Thanks for your information.

I am certainly going to go on my next trip!!!!!

Thanks again :D
 
Love the Jazz Club...always get a cocktail, appetizer and chill out!

Mannequins....just to stand on the turntable or watch others!

JELLO SHOTS...JELLO SHOTS...JELLO SHOTS!!!

Hey, I'm on the other side of forty.....if I'm out past 10....I'm on vacation!!!!
