Kungaloosh again Adventurers, The Disney Parks Blog now wants to hear about our patriotic traditions for the 4th of July. Since it is Merriweather Pleasure's Birthday, let us once again flood the Blog with our love of the Adventurers Club and how that tradition needs to be back by...

Happy 4th of July Everyone! And for you Pleasure Island Histarians out there: The story begins in New South Frewsberg, Pennsylvania, on July 4th, 1873. “Gold Rush Gus” Pleasure, free-wheeling millionaire prospector/explorer, paces in his study. A smiling nurse enters and announces the birth...

Nope. The Adventurers Club is still standing proudly at the top of Hill Street and despite some websites and "Inside the Magic" finding the same papers that we saw in March (before Hyperion Wharf was put on permanent hold) reporting that there is no demolition in the future for any more...

Actually, it is safer to say that the future holds nothing like this for the Adventurers Club. This can be surmised due to the cosmetic work that has been going on around the outside of the building, i.e. repainted crashed airplane, repotted plants, waterfron wall repainted, etc. If any...

Just looked in again last night, and Zeus is still standing proud! Highly doubt that since if one looks closely at the front of the building, they just touched up the pain on the crashed airplace, and replanted the flowers in the vase on the right-hand column. Also, I was told the the back...

Actually, I looked in last night and he's still standing there under the chandelier. Some days you eat the mouse. Some days the mouse eats you. But never give into the mouse without a fight! KUNGALOOSH!

This wasn't EPCOT that we have come to know as a theme park. This was Walt's idea of a living working community. I'm certain that nightclubs were not on the board for the park. However Eisner built Pleasure Island it was in direct response to guests leaving property at night to go clubbing at...

I know I've stated this in other threads, but I will do so again here. In Walt's original proposal to Florida for his "Florida Project", EPCOT (still being an Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow) he had plotted nightlife and nightclub areas because as he knew "You're dead if you aim...

In fact, the corpse also included a bird feeder just out of view of the guests so it looked like birds were picking at the corpse. SO MUCH BETTER THAN WHAT WE NOW HAVE! Yes Pumbas Nakasak, as story fades farther and farther away, Animal Kingdom will become just what everyone initially...

Kungaloosh Adventurers, To start off, let us recap the recent rumors going around about Merriweather's Island. According to recent rumors, Hyperion Wharf has been put on hold if not canceled; There is a movement for 3rd parties to put clubs back on Pleasure Island; The Adventurers Club...

Apparently Colonel Critchlow Suchbench has been pulled from the auction table and is currently in a safe location! I hear tell that this is part of a much more interesting story than we know as of yet. Some days you eat the mouse. Some days the mouse eats you. But never give into the mouse...

Actually, it is far from over. My sources have told me that there were three Colonels, and this is only one. It is never time to give up the Ship in a Bottle folks, as long as the Club still stands, there is always hope! Some days you eat the mouse. Some days the mouse eats you. But never...

Ah yes the Funmeister! Who, like the rest of the island, was tied into Merriweather Pleasure's backstory as well. From Mouse Planet: The Pleasure Island New Year Story http://www.mouseplanet.com/8653/The_Pleasure_Island_New_Year_Story Some days you eat the mouse. Some days the mouse...

Actuallly, Pleasure Island has a strong meaning and has nothing to do with Pinocchio. The name comes from a time when Imagineers still put a lot of time and effort into securing down every last detail of their project, from backstory to final product. Merriweather Adam Pleasure was the...

This is fantastic! I didn't know that Hill Valley was staring a fund for the Adventurers Club! Maybe we can get Doc Brown to use that Delorean of his to go back to that night that Lansberry had his "bold new vision" and hit him in the head with Otis' polo stick, thus giving him amnesia and...

Not true. The actors from the Adventurers Club and Comedy Warehouse were relocated inside of Walt Disney World, mostly into Citizens of Hollywood, American Idol Experience, World Showcase Players, Capt. Jack Sparrow's Pirate Tutorial and The Hoop Dee Doo Musical Revue. Nice try though. Some...

Kungaloosh Adventurers, Well the past few days have provided interesting rumors. The Save Pleasure Island Blog is covering the developing story of how Mannequins & 8TRAX exterior show lighting has been relit and managers have been seen coming in and out of the Adventurers Club! Some are...

So I was doing some reading over on the MiceChat forum and came across an interesting story of how the Pleasure Island revamp was supposed to go. . . http://micechat.com/forums/walt-disney-world-resort/151524-negativity-vindicated-p-i-replaced-grass-3.html Dear God on high, please let...

Kungaloosh Adventurers, Oh boy, I though Disney Parks Blog had learned not to ask questions they didn't want true answers to, but the one I just found is, "What’s your favorite 'Disneyland After Dark' entertainment memory?" Now even though this is dealing with Disneyland, I'm sure we can...

Not if the demo team accidentally disturbs Merriweath Pleasure's "failsafes"! Personally, I would rather see Pleasure Island gently sinking beneath the waves of Lake Buena Vista than Disney to ever profit from that land again. Not that Hyperion Wharf will ever bring in any money with grass...
