Save the Adventurers Club

This thread will never die!



Kungaloosh, fellow Adventurers!

Nor should it

We have found the solution... Tiana's Bayou Adventurer's Club! The Christmas overlay is already pre-written!

As we watch the last hours of 2023 soon become the first hours of 2024, I thought I would share with you once again the last Official Meeting of the Adventurers Club to date! Dec. 31, 2015's "Countdown to Midnight" event at the Yacht Club Convention Center where the smallest room they could provide for the Adventurers Club was overflowing with the attendees, leaving event's headliner, Vanessa Williams, wondering why no one was in the main room for her performance!

HAPPY NEW YEAR AND KUNGALOOSH ADVENTURERS!

I sure miss this place. It was a life impacting experience. If you know. You know. If you dont. Im sorry.

It really was pure Disney Magic... with booze. I loved that place!

Nor should it

Gotta reopen the Adventurer’s Club. Someone start a petition!

I actually only got to go once, but it was a very special time, my daughters 21st birthday.

Great memories from a great place.

They could have resurrected it in it's entirety at The Boardwalk faster than building the Cake Bake Shop no one cares about....

That building will be under construction longer than it will be in operation.

Happy 35th anniversary of the Walt Disney Co. reopening Merriweather Pleasure’s Adventurers Club that had been closed and sealed since Pleasure’s disappearance in 1941! Now…if only it would reopen once again…

How cool would it be to use the NBA space to re launch the Adventurers Club!!

I know, I know, what a dreamer, it will never happen.

They should have put it where the Cake Bake Shop is going and kept the 21 and up age limit. Like Trader Sam's, it would have been the Must See place at the Boardwalk....

In a place they don’t let you park? It would be a nonstarter and close faster than Starcruiser

Jellyrolls manages to survive.

So does Trader Sams and the same parking situation...so that is not really the issue.... And as busy as Trader Sams continues to be, another theatrical cocktail venue on property would be well received!

More the cost of employing everyone who would be needed to work there would be way more than they would ever be willing to spend with this management.

It would still be popular with only a few actors per night. 2 actors, 1 swing, 1 piano player, 1 tech. and a stage manager? Yes it adds up but it would be popular. Could run it only 4 nights a week even.

I was under the impression it closed mostly because Disney wanted to remove the night club element at Downtown Disney.

It did, from the sounds of it, have a lot of die hard fans. Maybe it was too many people taking up space every single night and not spending enough.

They could do something like bring it back as a regular bar and have ticketed show nights or something. With the Luau gone another dinner show should be a good addition.

I've always said it's the little things outside of the theme parks that make Disney visits feel special.

Yes and…..

My understanding is pleasure island as a whole was losing money. They were slowly wanting to convert clubs into rentals that offered live music - that was Raglan Road.

But then they decided to just pull the plug completely and shut all the clubs.

Comedy Warehouse and Adventurers Club could have stayed and made a profit.

Adventurers Club could have even become a dinner show with the same price points as Hoop dee Doo.

 

[Bocabear]

They could have even charged more....
I think Trader Sam's concept could work as an expanded dinner show too... Keep the bar for adults and do the dinner show as a crazy dining experience for the whole family...where the room comes alive like Trader Sams but more like the Enchanted Tiki Room...a couple performers, a lot of schtick with the servers, and a very planned seating of crazy 1940's-50s Polynesian American Kitsch...It would be a HUGE hit.
