PI Jazz Company

[billybaruch1]

I think I read the Pleasure Island Jazz Company was closed and a restaurant opened in its place. Say it ain't so!

If so, how has that worked out? Is PI - with the Adventurers Club and Comedy Warehouse - a lot of fun? Do they still do the fireworks at midnight? Is the City Walk at Universal better or just different?

The fireworks are still there, but are rumored to be going away after the end of the year.

PI is still PI, the new restaurant is a very nice Irish Pub, http://www.raglanroadirishpub.com/

Expect many more changes to PI in the next year.

The good news is that Live Entertainment has returned to the West End Stage, although the stage is rumored to be demolished next year for better access to the West Side.

Oh, and rumors exist that the R&R Beach Club will be torn down to make room for a bowling alley...probably something like Splitsville in Tampa, which is more of a bar/club with bowling than a bowling alley

Thanks for the info. I didn't know the bands weren't playing at the West End Stage. No fireworks and a bar/bowling alley instead of the R&R Beach Club! What's this world coming to? :hammer: :brick: :hurl: :lol:

Thankfully, Joe Rohde did confirm that nothing should be happening to the Adventurers Club

What? You have got to be kidding me! R&R Beach Club turned into a bowling alley? Ain't no way. Where do all the female body building lifeguards go then? But I degress, have not been to WDW or PI since August 1993, so I can't complain -- too much.

Splitsville is actually a really nice venue, I could see something similar doing very well at PI. If the quality put into Raglan Road is any indication of things to come, then I have no problem with Disney continuing to improve and update the area.

PI is fairly dated.....the last round of changes (BET, Wild Horse/Motion) were not the best.....the property as a whole to use some new experiances.

I didn't think Disney had much to do with the design and theming of Raglan Road

You're probably right. Even if that's the case, I don't really mind who's doing it as long as it's getting done. Several areas on the island could use some work.

PI get rid of a beach bucket full of alcohol? It'll never happen.... but peronally i find it weird to be getting loaded (its the only way to go out into the jungle) and turn and find a 3 year old....
