Those of you familiar with the 'Disney Marketplace' and 'Downtown Disney' entertainment areas in Walt Disney World Resort, might be shocked to hear that Pleasure Island will be closing it's six nightclubs in September.  All of the clubs will be closed for good and the plan is to build 'restaurants and shops' that appeal to a broader customer base.  Look for the new spots to open in the next few years.

Pleasure Island has been slinging drinks and entertaining the 'younger, single' crowd for about 19 years now.  It will be sad to see it go...but 19 years is a 3 lifetimes for any nightclub.  No plans have been revealed, however Disney has been doing some upgrading in the Marketplace adding new shops and even a 'balloon' attraction (you ride up 300 feet while it's hooked to the ground). 

So if you have some fond memories of PI...you might want to take a trip while the clubs are still open.  Take one last round on the revolving dance floor (yes...it actually revolves around) at Mannequins Dance Palace and take a look at the Rubik's cube tables at 8-Tracks.
