Save The Adventurers' Club

[MenashaCorp]

OK - it's just the spark of a movement at the moment, but I'm soliciting ideas as to how to get this done...and don't think I won't....


??www.savetheadventurersclub.com?? If Mr Toad has fans, then AC should, too!!

I can see cutting back on dance clubs. There are plenty of places in the world to hear techno music and get overpriced drinks... The AC is unique. Improvisational character-driven FUN!!!!!

Kunga-friggin-LOOSH!!!!

Thoughts, DISers???

 

[megveg]

im with you in every effort! we need the AC!

 

[WaltD4Me]

Is this for sure? I had heard the AC would be spared!!!!

I'm happy to help do whatever it takes. The AC deserves to be saved, it is too unique and beloved to be bulldozed.

 

[Scurvy]

The Adventurers Club is the main reason for most of our Disney trips lately. I love that place! I'm ready to start writing letters, but I'm onboard if anyone has any better ideas.

 

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

We can hope that once the majority of the space is reimagined that they will reopen the AC, but it looks like 09/27/08 is the last night. We will be there.

for about the last month the rumors have been really heating up about PI and now it's official. I think it would be best in order to serve the interests of everyone to start a savepleasureisland campaign. While I agree that AC is unique and fun, Mannequins is the only place in Orlando to hear all techno and the environment is amazing. The same goes for 70s and 80s at 8-trax. Again I might be wrong, but this is what I've heard. Motion on the other hand...THAT is the kind of music you can hear absolutely anywhere.

I really can't figure out if I wanna cry or shout and pump my fists in anger. Dangit Disney what am I supposed to do when I wanna dance and have fun? Oh that's right, I'll just LEAVE your property and buy drinks elsewhere.

btw the reason for the stroller price increase is to offset the money they will be loosing from alcohol. Thought ud all want to know

Its offical pi is closeing. Its on disneyworld.com look up pi and you'll find it. September 28th is the last call for pi.

 

[WaltD4Me]

You know what kills me? I know this going to lead to more outsourcing. They are going to replace those clubs with non-Disney owned banality.

I admit to not visiting the dance clubs and not even the Comedy Warehouse recently, but I made sure to go to AC. I could do the other places anywhere, but AC was so unique, I tried to get there every trip...and now it will close before my October trip and I cannot even go for a proper final KUNGALOOSH?!

 

[BriarRosie]

First they closed down Virtual Magic Kingdom. Now I'm hearing the sole reason I bought a PI annual pass is shutting its doors TWO FREAKING WEEKS before my next trip.

I am scared that I'm a Disney Jinx!

 

[scarlett873]

I'm onboard!!!!

DH and I were planning to play at the AC next year before we leave on the podcast cruise. I will be soooooooooo sad if they close it permanently!!!

KUNGALOOSH!!!

 

[Launchpad11B]

The AC is a great place and well worth keeping. I could take or leave the dance clubs but the AC is a lot of fun. Maybe they'll relocate it. I hope it works out. Let us know what your plan is MenashaCorp. We're with you!

 

[Disneynut71]

No NO they cannot close Adventurers Club. We love it.

Kids and I always visit each trip. It's one of the best things in DTD.

Now granted... when we first did our trips to WDW in 2001 for our honeymoon, PI was a destination we HAD to go to. It was fun and different. Over the past few years, it has declined. When they took out the stage and got rid of that community aspect of New Years eve every night... it just became a ghost town. The Island was just bars at that point.

We went to the last show at the Comedy Club the last time we were there... so what, was that the almost 2 a.m. show... and there were toddlers in there. It was just strange... toddlers/babies screaming at the top of their lungs during the show. I thought it was ridiculous.

Without having the base of the west end stage, hanging out outside the clubs looked like loitering. The Adventurers Club still held on to the magic.

I have to admit... unless they did some major changes to get that fun-party-like feel back to the entire Island...where everyone can participate in the streets instead of having to shuffle off into dark clubs to drink (thus leaving kids/young adults out)...then I'm not sad to see the Island go.

They could put both the Comedy Club and Adventurers Club over by Jellyrolls on the Boardwalk - I think they'd do well there. As far as the other ones... eh... I won't be sad when they're gone.


Save the AC and the CC!

 

[mouseaddicts]

I agree that we won't be saddened by the closure of the other clubs ..... but AC?!?!? That is our absolute FAVORITE spot in ALL of WDW!!! We've been telling my Dad about it for years .... and we were planning to FINALLY be able to take him when we're there the week of NYE!!! This is just horrible news for us ........

The AC is unique and truly represents "adult" Disney World ...... there isn't another "club" like it. This is heart-breaking .....

 

[oybolshoi]

So bummed to hear that the AC is going to close ... we were so looking forward to going back again on our trip this October.

 

[devman95]

I understand the closing of PI, but the Adventurers Club was a unique experience. I've been listenting to all the YouTube videos in order to whet my appetite for my next trip to WDW. It made WDW a complete experience from the parks in the day to some real fun at night. Disney should move the club somewhere else...or make it a standalone somewhere in Downtown Disney. that would work.

My Internet service has been out the past few days. I just saw this on the DIS homepage and on All Ears.

Is it true AC is NOT being spared? I can't believe this!

 

[mrzrich]

I really wish it wasn't true, but it is.

I really don't think there's anything we can do about it.

FWIW I did e-mail WDW. But I feel it will fall on deaf ears.

Disney doesn't make an announcement without carefully considering the response. Once they announce something, they rarely change their mind.


Truthfully, to us Die Hard WDW fans AC is an institution, but if you walked around MK today and asked the average park goer what the AC was they'd probably shrug their shoulders or point you towards the Tiki Room.

I was saying to a friend last night that if the AC could be moved to one of the parks (DAK or DHS?) for nightly shows (ALA the old Horseshoe Revue) that would be really cool. I doubt it will happen though.

No more VMK
$31 strollers
Summer Dining Surcharges
No more AC

I hate to tell you this, but its only Disney biggest fans that are noticing these major changes. The rest of the tourists just shrug their shoulders and fork over the cash.

DH and I are adults (good thing otherwise we'd be kids with kids). We thoroughly enjoy our trips WITHOUT our children. We love the activities we can do without our children. I wonder if Disney realizes that if they keep taking stuff away, we won't need to visit anymore. I could be wrong, but I bet that most of the clubs in PI are a hang out for locals. However, I think that the Adventurer's Club is a place that is visited by the die hards like us. Maybe they will move it to another location. How very sad

I agree, I'm sure our emails about this won't matter much, but I still emailed them to let them how I felt. I'm sure it won't do a bit of good though. All the emails they got about VMK and the stroller prices didn't matter either but maybe somewhere down the road when Disney suddenly realizes they may have lost some of the loyalty of their die hard fans, they won't be able to say
"Hey, why didn't you tell us you were upset?"
