Pleasure Island questions

[Suedrews]

Please fill me in on what my 14 year old & 6 year old can do at Pleasure Island.....I know nothing about that area except that there are clubs & restaurants there.....is it fun for them during the day? What is the latest you would take kids there? Any info would be of interest.....

PI to me is an adult venue. Most of the action happens after 7pm to 2 am. Mostly drinking and dancing. There is a few shops and eateries there. Your kids would definitly enjoy Disney Quest or Downtown Disney's shops, Lego Place, Toy Store and so on more than PI.

Hope this helps!

In fact, as of a couple weeks ago, most of the action at PI doesn't happen after 7, all of it does. They've roped it off during the day, which is too bad because it was fun to tour it in anticipation!

I've seen children your kid's age in PI before. There's little to do there, although I've seen parents in the Adventurer's Club with small kids and the CM's are really good with kids.

Opening up a discussion on whether children should be in PI usually results in strong disagreements. Personally, I think kids in PI are fine if you understand what you're walking into (others will strongly disagree). Know that there is drinking. With the exception of the AC and the Comedy Warehouse, all the clubs are basically dance clubs, very adult oriented. And the CW isn't really humor children would understand, although they keep it prettty clean. And in my experience, somewhere between 9 and 11 PM, the state of people drinking becomes more obvious. Just know that before you enter those pearly gates.

However, as wisconsinmousermom mentioned in her post, Downtown Disney is made for kids. There's so much to do there for kids, plenty of eating opportunities (and plenty of cocktails for adults who want one but don't want to expose their children to the bar district), and it has the added advantage of being free entry (PI is about twenty bucks a head cover charge, or a plus).

Hope that helps!

thanks for your responses.....well, we got our answers.....we have been to dd before & really enjoyed it....in fact, it is in our itinerary atleast twice while we will be in wdw....no, we will not take the kids to an adult oriented place....the most we do when it comes to cocktails is maybe stop in ESPN for snacks & a beer....or maybe poolside in the evening....thanks again....
