Here is an example of how the PI "concept" helped destroy the high concept of what DTD was evolving into and what "Eisner's Folly"
completely derailed. So here is a little story about the.....er...:lookaroun...violation of the Empress Lilly. I also think it was one of the factors that motivated Roy years later. Enjoy the history lesson.

I think it just lends more credence to the argument that 3rd parties = bad. Fultons (Levy's) destroyed the Empress Lilly, not Pleasure Island.
Port Orleans probably would have had a Pleasure Island type area anyway...you know Bourbon Street...

I definitely would NOT have a problem with that. A "Mardi Gras" "PI" concept in an area near PO would be AMAZING. Great Idea!!!!!!!
And for people who enjoyed that kind of entertainment it could be placed a short stagger....I mean stroll from PO and make PO a better draw possibly. And they could then restore DTD into what it was meant to be including the restoration of the E.L. into what it once was.
Brilliant idea. Didn't know you had it in ya. :lol::wave:

I just think it would be cool to have a New Orleans-esque adults night spot that you have to walk back to like it is secluded in a bayou, completely seperate from any family attractions. It could be themed to a different era, possibly the prohibition era. Imagineering could go all out on the theming and really make it amazing. There is plenty of land for such a thing west of PO. The mind boggles.

So, alcohol will be banned, but will there be speakeasies to illegally attain it? :lol:

It would be nice, and an Adventurers Club would work there, but I prefer the original backstory and idea that WDI came up with called Pleasure Island...not a NOLA wannabe.

I hear what you are saying. The PI concept could be transplanted easy enough. But I always like to see what new worlds Imagineering can come up with. Who knows what will happen though? I think Lee has proven something is in the works.

I think it's clever. Oh and there is a ready made "island" in the PO complex on the riverside end. The pool would have to go.

I'm glad that Disney doesn't have another huge vacant hole to fill at DTD but I would love to see something new...
I guess that there are still plenty of people who haven't yet seen La Nouba or who are willing to see it again - so let the good times (continue to) roll! :ROFLOL:

- I used to work @ La Nouba, I've probably seen the show 100+ times and it STILL give me goosebumps!!Remember - to change the show, they'd have to redesign the theatre - not gonna happen any time soon.
