Well there are a few more but I listed these particular bars and lounges because they give a little of what was offered on PI. Some of my favorites have been omitted on purpose

Honestly, I'd like to see a seat left empty for a departed friend. By the fireplace, if you would.

I've said too much. The older AdvClub crowd would get that. As would the cast.

Totally over my head! I guess we run with different crowds...

I agree the acting was pretty corny

Was anybody able to order a Kungaloosh? Preferably the second version, but just curious if they were offering it inside.

Who wear Disney gear even when inappropriate and are at the parks at least 2 days per week, Basically their entire life revolves around WDW and they are NOT a CM. Some of them have vanity blogs as well.
If a Lifestyler gets a CM job it usually cures them of the affliction as the reality of working for Mickey and his friends quickly dispels the fantasies. Some of them go on to be excellent CM's because of their knowledge.

Even with the discount the average WDW employee cannot afford those drinks...

No not all by any means - just the majority of them the average guest probably has no idea that TS is opening unless they've been to the Poly.

Non CM's with a unhealthy obsession with WDW, usually visit the place at least twice per week, Everything they own says Disney on it, We are all crazy about Disney but it has a place in our lives as I have Disney clothes but they are only worn AT Disney and the majority of them live in a Owners Locker in Orlando not at home. For a Lifestyler Disney IS their life - hence the name.
Lifestylers take their obsession several levels above ours.
Away from Disney the only outward signs of Disney is a Figment on one of the benches in my lab and a couple of Fantasia Cel's on the walls.

God bless the "Ignore" button.
Ignoring the little voice in my head asking how much any of these drinks cost...
That place looks awesome. It seems like some of the creatives really fought the good fight against the bean counters to make sure there were still some unique elements to make this place stand out against Uni's recent run of superior F/B.

I know there's other places to drink on property, I was wondering about highly themed places like PI used to have where Imagineering has worked overtime to create places that are attractions in themselves.
I'll give you Jellyrolls and Raglan, they can be fun, but to me most of those lounges are nice enough, but not a million miles from the kind of upmarket hotel bars you'd get anywhere and not exactly party central - more Senior Frogs than Senor Frogs. The demographic that enjoys the lounges seems to be an older, classier crowd who want a quiet drink as opposed to those who would have been most at home at Mannequins, Comedy or Adventurer's - obviously I'm generalising, but that's the vibe I've got in the past.
Trader Sam's at least appears to be one where Imagineering has gone to town, which is why I asked how it compared to Adventurer's Club.
The average Disney employee doesn't have to be able to afford it to have the placed packe with employees. Think of all the thousands of people that work in Celebration, Team Disney, Animation Building, etc that make middle class incomes.
Plus just because the average employee can't afford it doesn't mean they don't go anyway.

Ok I've only seen this term thrown around recently, but a lot of the people coining the term just seem to be either jealous or trying to talk down on other people's life choices.

I assure you, no one is jealous. as far as life choices, yes, it is pretty sad.

If anyone is looking for about five different videos related to the opening. Sure the regulars know this already but there might be some visitors that don't.

That was pretty underwhelming. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but still.
